Angel Locsin fires back at Jimmy Bondoc for post vs. TV network ABS CBN
Actress Angel Locsin slammed singer and presidential appointee Jimmy Bondoc for his scathing allegations against a major TV network.
Locsin on Thursday reacted to a Facebook post of Bondoc, who said he is excited for the closure of the "biggest TV network" in the country.
Bondoc, a former mainstay of ABS-CBN's musical variety show 'ASAP' and ex-judge on 'It's Showtime,' said the unnamed company rigged contests and sold out news in favor of the highest bidder. He also said there are countless victims of sexual harassment and bullying in the TV network.
Locsin, a talent of ABS-CBN, fired back at Bondoc. The actress said social media is not the right avenue for his allegations. She urged him to report his claims to authorities and to avoid bashing artists who worked hard in the industry.
Nung sumikat ka ba may na experience ka na sexual harassment? If yes i encourage you and all the victims to report this to the police. But generalizing that sexual favor is a prerequisite to success is just wrong.

Taking inspiration from Bondoc's 2004 song "Let Me Be The One," Locsin took pity on the singer for finding joy in the thousands of employees of the TV network who may possibly lose their jobs due to the closure.
Let me be the one to break this news to you so you don’t have to make excuses. The network might not be perfect but for you to be happy about thousands of people losing their jobs is pure evil. Maybe you’re just having a bad day. I will pray for you

Bondoc was appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte as vice president for entertainment of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation in 2016. Duterte has been vocal about blocking the renewal of ABS-CBN's franchise, which expires in 2020.
