Anakbayan has condemned Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa for his statement urging employees of troubled network ABS-CBN to just look for other jobs.
Earlier, Dela Rosa advised ABS-CBN’s over 11,000 employees, who risk losing their jobs if the network does not resume operations soon, to go seek other jobs as there are other ways to make a living. However, he also acknowledged that finding a job during this pandemic might be hard, but it is a struggle experienced by everyone.
“Hanap ng ibang trabaho para mabuhay, magsumikap, may ibang paraan pa naman siguro para mabuhay tayo. Hanap ng ibang jobs,” Dela Rosa said in an online interview.Dela Rosa also claimed that the ABS-CBN shutdown would not have a drastic effect in the future, as he is not working for it and would not be affected by it — something that Anakbayan took offense to and labeled “insensitive.”
“No individual insensitive to the plights and concerns of the masses should be holding public office,” the group explained.hangs in question as the House committee on legislative franchises have not yet voted on the franchise bill, even as lawmakers are set to sum up the discussions on the said issue.While no schedule had been set for the House panel to vote on the franchise bill, there are rumors that committee members and House officials would make a vote by Friday.
ABS-CBN stopped its free television and radio broadcasts after the National Telecommunications Commission issued a cease and desist order when the company’s franchise expired last May 4. NTC’s order came despite previous pronouncements in front of Congress last February that ABS-CBN would continue operating.
