Nasa hot seat ngayon ang mang-aawit na si Jimmy Bondoc dahil sa maanghang na pahayag tungkol sa isang malaking television network.
Inanunsyo ni Bondoc ang labis na kasiyahan sa nalalapit na pagsasara ng sikat na broadcasting company sa bansa.
“I am so excited to see the biggest tv network close down. This company is a snake pit, where success is based on politics and sexual favors. NOBODY dares to talk about it because they either benefit from it, or they would rather not have them as enemies.
Read before you judge me.
ART and CULTURE have been ruined by this network. Our moral fiber as a nation, too. Wide-eyed kids seek dreams and fall in line, not knowing the hell that their lives will be plunged into.
They have contests where the winners have been pre-determined, or are manipulated to suit the whims of the hidden bosses.
Their news is for sale, highest bidder gets the slant. And foreign groups are usually the victors.
I AM EAGERLY AWAITING YOUR DEMISE. I know how this sounds. And I know the nasty comments which are bound to come. I don’t care. If you think COMELEC is bad, wait until you see the real machinery that is known as “the biggest network.”
This is not schadenfreude. This is hope! This is for real change. You have COUNTLESS VICTIMS, from sexual harassment to plain and simple bullying.
I am so happy that your time has come.”
Ayon sa ulat, pinapatamaan ni Bondoc ang kumpanyang ABS-CBN.
Samantala, naglabas ng saloobin ang Kapamilya aktres na si Angel Locsin tungkol sa patustada ni Bondoc.
Hindi man diretsahan, mapapansin na para kay Bondoc ang tweet ng actress dahil sa linyang “let me be the one.” Pamagat ito ng sikat na kanta ng kasalukuyang Assistant Vice President for Entertainment ng Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR).
Let me be the one to break this news to you so you don’t have to make excuses. The network might not be perfect but for you to be happy about thousands of people losing their jobs is pure evil. Maybe you’re just having a bad day. I will pray for you

Hinimok din ni Locsin si Bondoc na sampahan ng kasong sexual harrassment ang lahat ng umabuso sa kanila.
Nung sumikat ka ba may na experience ka na sexual harassment? If yes i encourage you and all the victims to report this to the police. But generalizing that sexual favor is a prerequisite to success is just wrong.

Nauna nang binanggit ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na hindi siya sang-ayon sa franchise renewal ng ABS-CBN.
