Sharon Cuneta asks Duterte to reconsider ABS-CBN franchise renewal 

Kapamilya singer Sharon Cuneta has appealed to President Rodrigo Duterte to reconsider the franchise renewal of her home network ABS-CBN, which is set to expire on March 2020.
Duterte has repeatedly announced he will not allow the network to get its franchise renewed, even suggesting to sell the company to interested buyers.
“So I’ll just say this before saying goodbye—I pray that our dear President reconsiders his decision about ABS-CBN. Not just because I’ve just renewed, I can always find a job,” Cuneta said during her contract signing with the Kapamilya network.
She added  that  the station has become a home to someone like her adding that she has a lot of good friends who may lose their jobs as a consequence.
“But everybody I grew up with here who have remained loyal to the station—and have grown up here, have learned from the school of hard rocks here, have become family, good friends—will lose almost everything they’ve built over the years,” she said.
“So, I hope in my heart that our dear President reconsiders the thousands and thousands of Pinoys who have grown up here, learned the ropes here, that includes me,” she added.
