Banat By called Locsin fake and two-faced for joining the protest which he described as shallow.

The ABS-CBN protest and noise barrage were attended by celebrities and the network’s employees. Among the big names that made an appearance at the protest were Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, Alex Gonzaga, Beauty Gonzalez, Jake Cuenca, Kylie Verzosa, Edward Barber, and Maymay Entrata.
A motorcade was held which passed through several cities before ending up at the ABS-CBN compound in Quezon City.
In the protest, Angel Locsin called out her fellow Kapamilya celebrities who have yet to speak up regarding the ABS-CBN shutdown.
“Ano tatahimik na lang kayo? Wala na, wala na kayong network! Kahit magpa-cute kayo diyan sa Instagram,” she said.
ABS-CBN was forced to shut down on May 5 after the National Telecommunications Commission issued a cease and desist order to the network. After a number of hearings discussing the allegations made against the company, the House committee on legislative franchises denied its application for renewal.
The company was then forced to implement a retrenchment program which will leave thousands of ABS-CBN employees jobless by the end of August.
