- The number of names who expressed support to ABS-CBN network continues to grow.
- It was Angel Locsin who first made a statement in defense of the Lopez-owned media outfit.
- Even a Duterte supporter like Beverly Salviejo did not agree with Jimmy Bondoc’s wish.
Many have expressed their support to ABS-CBN Kapamilya network after the 43-year-old James Patrick Romero Bondoc also known as Jimmy Bondoc expressed his tirade against the Lopez-owned media company.
In defense, it was Angel Locsin, one of the Network’s prized talents came to the company’s defense and many have followed suit, but on Friday, May 24, Beverly Salviejo, an opera singer-comedienne also made her statement in favor of Channel 2.
Salviejo, a vocal staunch Duterte supporter made a post on her facebook account:
“Ginoong Jimmy Bondoc, HIGIT SA LAHAT…TAO!
“Yan ang pamantayang dapat sinusunod ng mga taong gobyerno tulad mo…. Nakakadismaya at ultimong kay itim ng budhi mo para maging “excited” at maging masaya ka sa posibilidad na maipasara ang “biggest network”!”
She emphasized what Bondoc should have considered prior to making his ‘hate’ statement against the Network that once have hired him in many ways despite his dark experience.
“Hwag na nating isama ang napakaraming pangarap na natupad dahil sa mga gawa nila sa abscbn, huwag na nating isama ang maraming katuwaan ng mga manonood sa mga palabas nila, hwag na nating isama ang napakarami nilang natutulungan sa kanilang social responsibilty programs…. Ang pag-usapan na lang natin ay ang mga trabahador sa naturang network…
“Ang daming trabahador ng abscbn, G. Bondoc! Sa bawa’t palabas lang ay may 2-3 units na mahigit kumulang 1-2libong manggagawa. Don’t look at them as jobs… look at them as lives, and that every life there has got a family, old and/or sick parents, kids to send to school, mouths to feed, rents to pay, probably loans or mortgages to pay….etc.
Furthermore, Salviejo painted a scenario for Bondoc, “Maliliit na mga tao ito, G. Bondoc. Maliliit na taong nangangarap ding sana ay makaangat din hirap sa darating na panahon. Kaya sumuporta rin sila kay PRRD nung eleksyon. Malakas ang pag-asa nila na kasabay ng pag-unlad ng bansa ay uunlad din ang buhay nila!
“Pagkatapos heto ka’t excited na masarhan ang source ng kanilang kabuhayan? Napakataas mo na ba’t hindi mo na ramdam ang hirap ng mga nasa ibaba?”
“Yung mga executives at big stars, may mga pera sila upang kahit hindi sila magtrabaho nang 3 taon e mabubuhay pa rin sila nang sagana….marami sa kanila ang marahil ay buong puso pang tatanggapin ng kabilang network…. may puhunan sila para magtayo ng ibang negosyo…hindi sila magugutom!
“Pero Itong mga maliliit na syang tatamaan nang husto sakaling magsara nga ang abscbn ay maghihirap talaga, magiging burden pa ng pamahalaan dahil dadagdag sila sa hanay ng unemployed! At heto ka’ excited na magsara ang biggest network!”

Salviejo made a sound closing on her post, “Marami nga marahil ang kasalanan ng abscbn… Kung may utang, e di pabayarin! Kung may kasalanan sila sa paghahayag ng news, e di kasuhan! Kung may mali sa labor practices, parusahan! You can have your pound of flesh in so many ways! Pero para sarhan sya at tuwang-tuwa ka pa? PARE, WALA KA SA TAMANG HULOG!”
Today, Bondoc is the Assistant Vice President for Community Relations and Service Department of Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), to which he was appointed President Duterte as announced by the singer on July 9 of 2016.
