Action star Robin Padilla got involved on a hot controversy recently after voicing out his opinion regarding NTC's sudden order for ABS CBN network to shutdown last evening of May 5, 2020. A lot of ABS CBN stars expressed their anger and grief about the quick announcement, defending one of the longer news channel network in the Philippines as well as its employees, especially the researchers, writers, camera man and journalists who will lose their jobs.

One of them was the actor Robin Padilla, who confused all of his co DDS (Die-Hard Duterte Supporter)

It was not a hidden fact that the actor was a solid supported of the president of the country, every now and then he would share his sentiments about socio-political issue and would never hesitate to protect Duterte at all costs.


But this time, it seems like the tables have turned when he released a speech about the ABS CBN fiasco.

“Ang nais natin ay pagbabago sa abscbn hindi ang pagsasara nito,” the actor wrote on his Instagram account.

“Nasa panahon tayo ng humahagupit pa ang mata ng covid 19 sa labas ng mga bahay natin at nagbabanta na makapasok at manalanta hindi po mainam na magtagal ang pagsasaayos ng franchise ng aming network ito ang oras para harapin ito dahil kailangan ng information ng mga pilipino sa buong mundo at lalong kailangan ng trabaho ng nasa industria ng telebisyon at pelikula,” he added.


“Umpisahan na kagyat ang pagdinig dito at unahin harapin ang mga dapat baguhin,” with this said, the actor some DDS and started calling him as "balimbing."


Because aside from the disagreement about the network's channels and pay per view issue, it can be remembered that the president countlessly called out ABS CBN for being "bias" and for "hurting his feelings."

“Mga kababayan nasa peligro ang bawat buhay ng Pilipino at ang economia ng bansa naniniwala ako na ang lahat ngayon ay bukas sa pagbabago at handang sumunod sa kung ano ang dapat, maitawid lang nating lahat sa pagsubok at makaahon ang Inangbayan Pilipinas,” the action star continued.

Amid the COVID-19 outbreak and the imposed enhanced community quarantine, some people still need to go outside because they are one of the much needed frontliners we need today in order to save another cruel and extra exhausting day. The medical workers, the police and the military, the baggers, tellers and the cashier--they are just few of our many neccessary employers that still chooses to work and serve, despite of the huge danger the virus brings.

And as what they usually say, these people, especially the health care workers who spent more than a 24 hour shift in a full packed hospital are one of the huge casualties we have and will continously having-- as we still fight on this war.

Horrible and sad, but it is indeed, the tragic truth.


One of them is Dr. Sally Gatchalian, actress and comedienne Ruby Rodriguez' older sister.

And just like any other fatal cases, she was not allowed to be seen by her relatives, and had to be cremated, to make sure there will be no trace of the virus left.

“The hard part was, paano namin kukunin yung body?

“So, I started calling funeral places na may cremation, because that’s the only way you can do it daw.”


“The most painful was, when they got her, she was just in a body bag. No one is allowed to open. They brought her to the crematorium in the bag." Ruby shared on her interview in Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho.


“Can you imagine your sister being delivered in a jar? In an urn? It’s all ashes. I wasn’t able to hug her, I wasn’t able to… you know what I mean?

“Hindi mo naalagaan, hindi mo man lang nabisita, di man lang kayo naka… That’s the hardest part. We didn’t see her. None,” Ruby revealed.

How is the actress and her whole family coping up after the whole situation? According to the comedian, she and her siblings make sure to spend even a little time with each other, talking and laughing. In that way, all of them managed to go forward, not leaving anyone behind the darkness. What can you say about this story?

Lindsey specifically clarified that Cristito was on Jiaolong Spirit ship.

"Siya po c Cristito M. Acosta. Kaibigan ko po siya. Siya po ay isang Seaman, siya ay 3rd Officer Junior ng Teekay sakay po ng barkong Jiaolong Spirit." Lindsey wrote on her post.

"Galing sila ng Texas patungong South Africa. Pero naantala na sila kasi nawawala na po siya noong April 23 ng gabi hanggang ngayon. Eto po yung nangyari." She explained.

"6:00 pm to 6:45, nagpa releave pa yung chief mate na naka duty ng 4pm to 8pm kaya siya muna [ang] humalili dahil magdi dinner yun. Tapos bumalik na yung nag dinner sa duty niya kaya si Cristito ay umalis na sa bridge ng 6:46.




Bandang 8pm, kasi 8pm to 12am ang duty niya, hindi na siya napunta sa duty niya. 8:05, tinawag siya pero wala pa din kaya na alarma na siya wala na siya at hinanap na sa cabina niya.

Hinanap na raw po cia ng mga US Navy, helicopter at mga vessel, at sa buong barko wala talga pero ngayon, dahil 3 days na, itinigil na raw po ang rescue, at itutuloy na yung ruta nila papuntang south africa." She continued.

"Masakit isipin na ganun lang kabilis uung pagha hanap at May 16 pa sila mag iimbistiga kasi dun pa lang sila dadaong sa port. Please, tulungan niyo po kami mapadali [ang] paghahanap sa kanya, nakikiusap po kami.


"Umaasa po kaming mahahanap pa siya at buhay pa. Kung nasaan ka man ngayon Cris, sana makita ka na. Nag aantay na sayo [ang] mga mahal mo sa buhay."


Is there any new update about Cristito's case and his whereabouts? Unfortunately, there is still no new reports about the seaman and his family hopes the government could do something about the issue. What can you say about this story?
