Araw na hindi malilimutan.
Isang mahigpit na akap sa mga mahal ko sa ABS-CBN.
mahigit 11,000 ang hindi makakatulog ngayong gabi ???? #LabanABSCBN https://t.co/701Ahf1Lf7— Angel Locsin (@143redangel) May 5, 2020
Ako’y napapaisip..

Kung may 11,000 na nawalan ng trabaho..x Php5,000...
Php 55 MILLION pa ang kailangang ihanda ng DSWD pang ayuda?
Tama po ba?
Not to mention jobs..
Bababa rin ang chances ng karamihan to find work..
Sayang at magagamit pa sa iba ang budget sa panahong ito
Coco Martin
Lovi Poe
