[Statement] Mahigpit na yakap, Kapamilya

The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines is saddened by the announcement, albeit inevitable, by ABS-CBN that it will be retrenching part of its workforce following the unjust rejection of its franchise application by the House committee on legislative franchises.

We cannot begin to imagine the pain of those forced out of their jobs because congressional lapdogs did their vindictive master’s bidding.

Sa aming mga kasama at kaibigan sa Kapamilya Network, ang aming mahigpit na pakikiisa.

Kasama niyo kami sa patuloy na pakikibaka para makamtan ang katarungan sa inyong sinapit sabay ng ating pagsulong sa malayang pamamahayag at pagpapahayag.

Nagkakamali sila sa akalang sila ang nanaig. Darating ang araw ng paniningil.
