Kapamilya star Bea Alonzo wrote a heartfelt poem to express her support after ABS-CBN was forced to shut down by the National Telecommunication Commission (NTC).
Alonzo started by saying she isn’t good at writing poems but she tried her best to express support for the network she belongs to.
“Isa itong parinig. Mali. Isa itong reklamo. Mali. Isa itong pagpuna. Mali. Isa lamang itong pagbalik-tanaw kung paano ba nagkamuwang at nabuo ang pagkatao sa piling ng mga taong pinagkakatiwalaan at sa lugar na tinuring nang tahanan,” she said.
She described how she started to dream of becoming an actress and ABS-CBN had helped her to be the person she is now.
“Nagsimulang mangarap nung bata pa lang na humarap sa madla at magkaroon ng puwang sa industriyang hinahangaan. Ilang minuto, ilang segundo, ilang hakbang, ilang hinga, ilang luha, ilang sakit, ilang ngiti, ilang pighati, kayo ang pinipili. Na para bang isang batang hindi maruong sa mundo, walang muwang, nag-umpisang gumapang hanggang sa tulong mo, ako’y natuto nang tumayo,” she said.
“Unti-unti. Isang hakbang pagkatapos ng isa, at isa pa, at isa pa. Lumakad papunta sa daang gusting tahakin. Hindi naging madali. Madalas nadadapa, madapas natatapilok, pero isa lang ang laging sigurado. May kamay na aakay sa ‘yo. May ilaw na laging gagabay sa ‘yo,” she added.
.“Nagkaroon ng tapang para harapin ang buhay habang kumakaway sa dating ako,” she said.
“Madalas na tanong. Isa lang ang alam na siguradong sagot. Isa akong kapamilya, halos dalawang dekada, kayo ang kasama. Nakilala ang sarili, gamit sina Basha at Bobbie. Marami pang ibang naging instrumento para mahukay ang tunay na pagkatao. Sila ay ako. Sila ay kayo,” she said.
She ended her poem saying: “Pula, berde, bughaw. Iikot muli ang roleta ng buhay. Hindi laging nasa ibaba. Umaasang iikot muli ang roleta. Hanggang sa muli, kapamilya.”

On May 5, ABS-CBN was forced to shut down as their franchise ended. Many were dismayed by the government’s move to shut down ABS-CBN and some celebrities shared their support on social media.
Even though the House leader said that the network can continue its operations beyond May 4, the NTC instead decided sent a cease and desist order to the ABS-CBN network.
