ANGEL LOCSIN
BUMUWELTA agad ang singer-composer na si Jimmy Bondoc matapos sagutin ni Angel Locsin ang kanyang mahabang hugot laban sa isang “biggest TV network”.
Nag-ugat ang kontrobersiya sa pagitan nina Angel at Jimmy matapos mag-post ang huli sa kanyang Facebook account ng tungkol sa pagsasara umano ng higanteng TV station.
Inakusahan pa ng Assistant Vice President for Entertainment ng Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) ang nasabing istasyon ng pandaraya at sexual harassment.
“You have COUNTLESS VICTIMS, from sexual harassment to plain and simple bullying. I am so happy that your time has come,” ang bahagi ng mensahe ni Jimmy.
Sinagot ni Angel ang kanyang akusasyon sa pamamagitan ng Twitter, “The network might not be perfect but for you to be happy about thousands of people losing their jobs is pure evil. But generalizing that sexual favor is a prerequisite to success is just wrong.”
Paliwanag naman ni Jimmy, ang FB status niya ay hindi para sa mga artista o empleyado ng network, kundi sa sistemang pinaiiral dito.
Aniya, “Mam Angel isang huling sagot po. At pasensiya na hindi ako ma Twitter masyado. At kung sino man ang makabasa nito paki send na lang po kay Mam, with all due respect.
“Why would I be happy for loss of jobs? That is a false assumption. Kayo po ang nag-generalize, hindi ako. When a network (any network) closes, it can mean a change of management or ownership.
“Ibig po sabihin, deserving employees would probably be retained.
“If u acknowledge the imperfection of the network, do you have any comments on the acquisition of ownership by its current owners in light of the allegations that it was transferred to them to the disadvantage of the government?” ang sabi pa ng singer.
Narito naman ang sagot sa kanya ni Angel na nagsabing “last statement” na niya para sa issue.
“(Part 1) Mr. Bondoc sorry hindi ako nagfafacebook masyado so Kung May makabasa nito paki send Na lang sa kanya.
“‘As you said when a network closes it CAN mean a change of management or ownership’ key word is can. I’m speaking for the thousands of employees that will have no job security if this happens.
“The assumption I gave is coming from your statement that you are excited for the network to CLOSE.
“I am not a lawyer nor am I a politician. I have no knowledge of how it was acquired.
“I am just a human being hoping for a peaceful resolution to this problem so that thousands of jobs can be saved.”
“(Part 2) Regarding the sexual favors, politics and rigged contests that you claimed happened.
“If ever any of these has happened to you or anyone you know pls report it to the proper authorities. Don’t just rant on Facebook.
“Your rant discredits the artists that truly worked hard to get where they are.
“Magtulungan tayo at wag magsiraan. Let’s not wish ill of others rather let’s look for the proper solutions. And yes I was sincere when I said I will pray for you have a good day!”
