Alex particularly noted that while Filipinos are working hand in hand to survive the pandemic, the decision of the Congress to deny ABS-CBN with a franchise to operate adds thousands more to the growing number of unemployed individuals.“Lahat tayo pilit nagtutulungan para halos lahat ng kababayan natin makasurvive sa pandemic. And now madadagdagan pa lalo ang mawawalan ng trabaho sa gitna ng crisis,” she wrote. Praying for her fellow Kapamilyas, she added: “I am now praying for my Kapamilyas na tunay na mawawalan ng kabuhayan at pagkakataon.
