Gretchen Ho insisted that no jobs were available for younger workers amid the pandemic.
TV host Gretchen Ho had insisted that no jobs were available for younger workers even though Metro Manila already had been placed under general community quarantine (GCQ).
This, as Gretchen contradicted the government’s statement that there were alternative jobs for young people who had lost their jobs amid this pandemic, adding that Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque’s statement wasn’t true based on Gretchen’s friends’ current experiences.
On Thursday afternoon, Gretchen retweeted INQUIRER.net’s post about Roque’s statement and commented that it was easy for Roque to say it.

Ang bilis sabihin, pero marami akong kaibigan sa mga "younger workers" na yun na hindi pa rin makahanap ng trabaho. Baka pwede siyang tumulong 😀 https://t.co/a5ePvNzG4S

It was clear that Gretchen was referring to ABS-CBN employees who had lost their jobs just because ABS-CBN was forced to retrench its employees after the House had rejected a new franchise network last July 10, 2020.
