ABS-CBN Broadcast journalist Julius Babao seemed to be indirectly calling out people who are laughing at the situation of the network.
On his Twitter account, the broadcast journalist addressed a certain group of people as ‘Kampon ni Satanas.’
“May isa pa palang grupo ang makapangyarihan ngayon. Ang mga kampon ni Satanas. Masaya na kayo sa kahirapan ng ibang tao? Sige halakhak pa. May karma yan.”

Netizens sided with Julius saying that employees should defend ABS CBN especially that they’re facing a struggle with their network’s franchise renewal.
Dpt mag ingat kayong mga employees gawin niyo po parte niyo kasi kaming netizens pinaglalaban kayo sa FB man o twitter etc tapos kayo nananhimik??? isip kyo praan paano kayo mapapansin at di s ABS lng sila nakafocus. Magvideo kayo gaya ng mga nagtanggol kay coco.

Laban lang. wag hayaang manaig ang kampon ng kadiliman, wag kayong pumayag na mabusalan ng diktador na gobyerno.

He also called on government officials and tagged them as ‘fortunate tellers’ who seem to be doing guesswork.
“Ang mga pulitiko ay parang mga manghuhula din. Hit & miss kumbaga!”

Recently, he educated bashers who wished that the network would be permanently shut down.
On June 17, via his Twitter account, the 50-year-old newscaster called those who wish the network and its thousands of employees ill as evil.
In this time of pandemic where many are losing their jobs. To wish it upon ANY of the 11,000 employees & talents of ABS-CBN or ANY person is downright evil. #labankapamilya

According to Babao, despite its imperfections, ABS-CBN has done so much for the country that it does not deserve to be harassed by its critics and bashers.
“Mga Kapamilya.. You know deep in your hearts this company has done so much for this country. ABS-CBN may not be a perfect company but they definitely do not deserve this much persecution. Kapamilya, let your voices be heard. Fight for ABS-CBN.Red heartGreen heartBlue heart #IbalikAngABSCBN”
