Director Joey Reyes took to the social networking site, Facebook wherein he shared his opinion on the shutdown of ABS-CBN and retrenchment of workers.
Joey has been a part of the ABS-CBN and Star Cinema for a long time.
He is the writer of the top-rating sitcom, Palibhasa Lalake and of Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata.
He is also the director of Star Cinema’s blockbuster movies such as May Minamahal, Pare Ko, Hataw Na, Batang PX; Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo; Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo and many more.
The apparent shutdown of ABS-CBN and eventual retrenchment of workers saddened many including the 65-year-old writer-director.
“What ‘they’ do not realize is that the closure of ABS-CBN does not only mean the end of a network but a major change in the landscape of free TV, advertising, and other ancillary businesses and industries,” he began.
In the later part of his statement which was posted on the entertainment website, Push, he wrote: “They thought they were just shutting down a network. ‘They’ never realized that they could have hastened the end of an entire medium.”
