Day 30+87: When I was still a rookie reporter for ABS-CBN, one of the expressions I learned from police personnel in the crime beat was: “Ayaw gyud baliktari ug kaldero ang tao, kay di kabalo unsay himuon ana niya (Don’t ever flip someone’s rice cauldron over, because you never know what they’ll do), which was an admonition for employers who unjustly fire people from their jobs, causing them to commit deeds which landed them at the precinct. . Over the past weeks, stories about the network’s franchise, the stonewalling their bosses faced in the House of Representatives, and the continuous trolling their accounts and employees get on social media, have undoubtedly caused fear and anxieties on the 11,000 employees all over the country, and their families. . One might say that I am biased since I am a former employee. And yes I am. It it is not only because I support their call for a new franchise, but because none of the accusations hurled against it and its employees have been proven. . As the network reduces its work force in the coming months both due to the pandemic, and the possible non-renewal of the franchise, some would end up worrying about their families, their parents, their kids, and their futures. This would inevitably cause anxieties which may cause unpredictable actions. A persecuted community can only take and hold so much. . I hope that those in the halls of power, particularly those coming from Visayas and Mindanao, will remember the expression: Ayaw gyud baliktari ug kaldero ang tao, to which I will add, labaw na kung walay saktong hinungdan (especially when there’s no justification). .
