Actress Jodi Sta. Maria stood strong after her home network, ABS-CBN was suspended.
Last Tuesday, May 5, the National Telecommunications Commission ordered a Cease and Desist order for the closure of the Kapamilya network.
This abrupt shutdown caused a lot of Kapamilya stars to voice out their disappointment over the incident, including Jodi.
On her Instagram account, Jodi shared her thoughts on what happened to her mother network and how it helped the country through times of crisis.
“Andiyan ang ABS CBN sa panahon ng krisis, ng sakuna, sa hirap at ginhawa, katulong at kaagapay ng lahat ng Pilipino. Nasa puso ng ABS-CBN ang mapaglingkuran, bigyang kasiyahan, malagyan ng ngiti ang bawat labi ng manunuod nito.”

“Iginigiit nila na may nilabag na batas ang aming tahanan na pinagkukuhaan namin ng kabuhayan, ngunit mga ahensya na mismo ng gobyerno ang nagsabi na walang nilabag na batas ang ABS-CBN.
“Binalian man nila tayo ng pakpak, hindi natatapos ang laban dito. Darating ang bagong umaga at tayo’y lilipad muli. Mas matayog kaysa nang sa huli.”
She posted her message with a video where she played guitar and sang “Blackbird” of the Beatles while showing off the contributions of ABS-CBN to the Filipino people.
