Nagsama-sama ang mga artista, empleyado at executive ng ABS-CBN noong Miyerkules upang magpaalam sa Millennium Transmitter, ang 350-meter tower na nag-broadcast ng Kapamilya signal sa loob ng mahigit limang dekada.
Ide-demolish na nga ang transmitter kasunod ng P6.2-bilyong buy-out ng Ayala Land Inc. ng 30,000-square-meter na bahagi ng ABS-CBN compound.
Pananatilihin ng network ang 1.4 hectare na ari-arian para sa patuloy na pagpapatakbo nito, na nakatuon sa digital at global content.
Ang tore ay nagsilbing signal backbone ng ABS-CBN mula 1969 hanggang sa ipasara ito noong 2020, nung hindi sila pagkalooban ng franchise ng Kongreso.
Ngayon ay parang nakalimutan na ng marami ang ilang kongresista na nagtulak para mawalan ng franchise ang network na nagbigay naman sa kanila ng pagkakataon na tutukan ang digital platform na trend sa kasalukuyan.
At kabilang sa mahaba ang post ay ang aktor na si John Arcilla:
“As ABS CBN that molded our love for Country and commitment to serve the Filipino people through our Arts and Talents, the space within its four walls which used to be our playground, strength and refuge are about to be turned over to the next Proprietors; as Gabby and the Lopezes Brothers Mark and Ernie as the ABS -CBN, the Heads Carlo Katigbak, Cory Vidanes and Lauren Dyogi, Pioneers and Stalwart’s CONVICTION that ABS will keep its commitment to what we have proven and what we started, It is easy to fight back the tears which suppose to be flowing on our faces.
“Instead it flowed inward down to our hearts as a new inspiration to a new beginning. Yes we will stay. We will always be here, much wider much bigger and stronger. Sabi nga ni Karlo Katigbak “ABS CBN is in our hearts and Home is where our heart is” and it will stay there to keep on inspiring people. ABS is not its Bldg and its Location.
“We all have our sweet and sentimental memories that will be burried there, but ABS CBN is us, it is already living within its people, its employees and talents and we will continue to keep and share this inspiration to the Filipinos, in this Nation and to the Filipino people around the globe. So we will be here” bahagi ng post ni John.
