Toni Gonzaga admitted that she has been hurting as her colleagues and friends at ABS-CBN have started saying goodbye following the network's retrenchment program. The media giant announced on July 15 that it will be laying off its employees after the House committee denied it a new franchise.

"Everyday ang sakit mag bukas ng Viber dahil nagpapaalam na lahat ng mga katrabaho namin samin. Sa lahat ng nasa posisyon ngayon, hindi namin makakalimutan ang ginawa nyo sa mga trabahador ng ABS-CBN. You may have the power now but it will not be forever. " she posted on her Instagram page on Saturday, July 18.

She also pointed out that "no matter who the president is," Jesus is still "king and He is the name above all names."

Everyday ang sakit mag bukas ng viber dahil nagpapaalam na lahat ng mga katrabaho namin samin. Sa lahat ng nasa posisyon ngayon, hindi namin makakalimutan ang ginawa nyo sa mga trabahador ng ABSCBN. You may have the power now but it will not be forever. I believe that no matter who the president is, JESUS is still KING and He is the name above ALL names. Lord yakapin mo po lahat ng mga kapamilya namin na nawalan, nasasaktan at nanghihina. We will continue to keep our faith in Christ that He will sustain us during these trying times. Just like the positions of the people in power today, what we are going through will not last forever. Troubles come to pass, they don’t stay. Jesus said, when you go through deep waters I will be with you. One day He wipe these tears away and replace it with JOY beyond compare. 🙏🏼 Babangon tayong lahat muli.🙏🏼 #yakapkapamiya❤️💚💙

She also shared a passage from Jesus, highlighting what Christ said that He will be with us in times of trials.

"Troubles come to pass, they don’t stay. Jesus said, when you go through deep waters I will be with you. One day He [will] wipe these tears away and replace it with JOY beyond compare. Babangon tayong lahat muli," she posted.

Toni then clarified that her statement is not meant to put the blame on people in position but to remind them that God reigns supreme.

"This is a reminder to us that no matter who is in position. Jesus is still the King of Kings. This is to remind our kapamilyas, there is hope. There’s still tomorrow. We will not forget what the people who have power did to us and we respect their decision with all humility," she wrote.

The Kapamilya star added that she will continue speaking up for the network and its people.

"As one we will also continue to stand up for our company who gave us so many opportunities to help our families. We don’t know what the future will bring. But we know, God is holding us in the palm of His hands," she stated.

Toni joined ABS-CBN in 2005. She was part of the network's biggest programs like Pinoy Big Brother, ASAP, Home Sweetie Home, and The Voice of the Philippines, among others.

She also starred in several movies under ABS-CBN's film outfit Star Cinema, like My Amnesia Girl, Starting Over Again, and Four Sisters and a Wedding, among others.

Toni also released several albums under Star Records (presently Star Music), which is ABS-CBN's record label.
