Netizens Outraged as Politician Attends ABS-CBN Primetime Teleserye FPJ’s ‘Batang Quiapo’ After Voting for Shutdown

 


The attendance of Manila vice mayor Yul Servo at the public viewing of ABS-CBN’s ‘Batang Quiapo’ has caused disgust among netizens. The action-comedy TV series had a successful first episode, garnering attention and attracting a massive audience. The live screening party and concert at Plaza Miranda, which had a large turnout, was attended by the cast and several fans. However, Servo’s presence raised eyebrows since he was among the congressmen who voted to shut down ABS-CBN in 2020, leading to the network’s financial crisis and thousands of layoffs.


The House of Representatives’ decision to not grant ABS-CBN a new franchise to operate resulted in the network’s closure, leaving many people in far-flung areas struggling to access news. Since then, ABS-CBN has resorted to going digital and airing its programs online. FPJ’s ‘Batang Quiapo’ can be watched on several broadcast platforms, including Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, TV5, and CineMo, as well as on various online platforms such as Kapamilya Online Live on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page, iWantTFC, and TFC for viewers outside the Philippines.
