<p>Judy Ann Santos could not help but respond to netizens who appeared to rejoice over the government&#x27;s order to stop ABS-CBN&#x27;s radio and television operations, as she joined a chorus of online protest against the closure of the country&#x27;s largest media and entertainment company Tuesday, May 5.</p><p>On Instagram, within minutes since the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) ordered the network to &quot;ceast and desist&quot; from broadcasting on TV and radio &quot;due to the expiration of its congressional franchise&quot; on Monday, May 4, the actress aired her reaction to the move, stressing that the closure also translates to the loss of livelihood of thousands of Filipinos during an already trying time due to the coronavirus pandemic.</p><blockquote
