Kapuso actress Jennylyn Mercado has been outspoken about her opinions on contentious topics, including endorsing ABS-CBN employees whose future seems to be grim after the renewal of the franchise network was rejected by Congress.
In Jennylyn’s Twitter post, she defended ABS-CBN employees who might lose their jobs from bashers who rejoiced in the shutdown of the network.
“Rejoicing because of other people’s sorrow is not only wrong but inhumane. You are cruel.”

Jennylyn also complained about officials who broke the law but remained unpunished. She also said that “if anyone is to be kept to the same level” they would not be honored.
