Ormoc City Mayor and actor Richard Gomez has gone viral over his reaction to ABS-CBN’s shutdown.
In an interview with PCOO Usec. Rocky Ignacio, Gomez was asked about his reaction to the closure of his former home network ABS-CBN.
Surprisingly, Ignacio was caught off guard with Goma’s answer. “Naku baka mas maganda yata na kayo sasagot nyan dahil kayo ang nasa gobyerno na nagpahinto sa pag-broadcast ng ABS-CBN.”
PCOO Usec Rocky Ignacio: Ano po yung mensahe naman ninyo doon po sa network at mga kapwa artista nyo doon sa nangyari sa ABS-CBN?

ABS-CBN on Tuesday, May 5, 2020 was closed down due to National Telecommunications Commission’s cease and desist order. ABS-CBN immediately complied with the order shutting down their broadcast after airing TV Patrol.
Meanwhile, Gomez’s reaction has since gone viral on social media with netizens sharing their different reactions.
