MAS marami pang problema ang bayan, mas mabigat mas mapanganib (the epidemic and the search for a vaccine thats geared for Filipinos afflicted with the CCP virus, tourism & hospitality industry layoffs and losses, airline grounding, OFW job losses, a crash in car sales, manufacturing shortfalls, etc.) - bakit pinagkakaguluhan pa ang pagsasara sa ABS-BIAS when its a foregone conclusion. Ipinasara na yan ng NTC due to brazen violations, bakit nangangarap pa itong iba na maari yang buksang muli, ikamamatay ba natin na wala na yang kompanyang yan? Will you bleed if it passed on to history? Maraming nagbubunyi na sarado na yan, di lang sila makapagingay kasi maliliit sila na tao, while the rah-rah boys of the network can be found in Congress, in the Senate, in the popular showbiz circles, and among the effete Catholic priestcraft.
Its closure is a small triumph for the patriotic Filipinos who has long sighed for this oligarchic weapon to be eviscerated, at dumating na ang panahon, naniningil na ang tadhana. Matagal na itong nagkakalat ng mga balikong ideya sa mga Filipino, as a result, after 34 years of broadcasting dominance - it fostered and perpetuated even more mediocrity, ignorance, at kabobohan among us. The main business of this network ay apat: Magpatili, magpatawa, mag-drama, and to maintain the oligarchic status quo. Magpatili sa madla sa pamamagitan ng mga artista nito, to bedazzle the hoi polloi with the perfumed, bleached-fair-skinned showbiz talents - thats what it does best, and that is in fact its always potent weapon to endear itself sa mga ignoranteng kababayan na madaling mapahanga at kaydaling mapaniwala.
The thing to watch out for, now, is to uphold what the NTC has decided because it followed the law. And not to allow itong mga nababayarang Congressmen to reversed the decision, or even the President to veto that decision. Mabubuhay tayo ng wala yang entertainment vehicle na yan, in fact it doesn't truly matter because what do you lose if you gain nothing at all thats profound and life-nourishing from such a junk-filled, homo-erotic, yellow-to-the-bone network?
