Karapatan natin ang magsalita. Pero kasama ng karapatan na &#x27;yan ay responsibilidad — responsibilidad na siguraduhin na ang sinasabi natin ay tama at higit sa lahat ay makatao at para sa tao.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Nakakadismaya hong makita na ang iba naming mga kasamahan namin sa industriya na piniling magsalita ay iniinsulto. Wala naman ho silang ibang layunin kung &#x27;di muling magbukas ang ABS-CBN. Ang gusto lang naman ho nila ay mapawi ang takot na nararamdaman ng mga empleyado na maaaring mawalan ng trabaho,&quot; he said.</p><p>&quot;Ano ho bang masama sa manindigan sa sariling kabuhayan, at sa kabuhayan ng marami?&quot; Padilla asked.</p><p>He called on detractors of ABS-CBN to respect those who are expressing their support for the network, whose broadcast closure risks the job security of some 11,000 employees.</p><p>&quot;Sa lahat ng mga pumupuna, nagsasalita, alam ko ho magkakaiba tayo ng opinyon. Alam ko na kung anuman ang halaga sa amin ng ABS-CBN ay maaaring hindi iyon ang halaga nito sa inyo. Pero sana ho huwag tayong makalimot na rumespeto sa pinagdadaanan ng iba,&quot; Padilla said.</p><p>&quot;Bago ho ako maging artista, tao at Pilipino muna ako, kaya sana huwag niyo ipagkait sa amin ang karapatan namin na magpahayag ng aming saloobin,&quot; he said.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media"

them for joining the fight to restore the network&#x27;s broadcast operations.</p><p>In an apparent message to the government, Padilla urged that resources be focused instead on containing the coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>&quot;Meron ho tayong mas malaking hinaharap ngayon, at iyon po ay ang pandemya. Ituon po natin ang lahat ng meron tayo para tiyakin ang kaligtasan ng bawat Pilipino,&quot; he said.</p><p>Referring to the government agency which ordered the cease and desist order against ABS-CBN, Padilla went on: &quot;Sa NTC, mga kapatid, sana ho &#x27;yung mga ginagawa niyong desisyon ay hindi lang para sa interes ng ilan. Sana ho ang desisyon na ginagawa ninyo ay para sa mas ikabubuti ng mas marami.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Higit sa lahat, sa mga kapwa ko Pilipino, huwag ho nating talikuran ang pagiging makatao. Buksan ho natin ang mga puso natin para sa pinagdadaanan ng iba. At buksan natin ang mga mata natin para sa katotohanan. Mas mainam pa ang maging bulag kaysa sa nagbubulag-bulagan,&quot; he said.</p><p>&quot;Daniel Padilla po, tao, Pilipino. Laban, Kapamilya.&quot;</p><p>When Padilla uploaded his video statement on Wednesday afternoon, the House of Representatives Committee of the Whole on Wednesday approved a bill that gives ABS-CBN provisional franchise until October 2020. </p><p>The interim license will &quot;give both the House of Representatives and the Senate [time] to hear the issues being raised for and against the renewal, and assess, with complete impartiality and fairness, whether or not the network shall be granted a franchise for another 25 years.&quot; </p><p>House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano estimated that by June — once the Senate and President Rodrigo Duterte approve the bill — ABS-CBN will be back on air.</p>
