ABS-CBN, on Thursday, released a statement of gratitude to their loyal artists.

Here is the full statement:

ABS-CBN is grateful to all the artists who used their platform to express their love and concern for the network amid the challenges it is currently facing.

You wholeheartedly and courageously spoke up about your concerns, even if you are aware that not everyone would agree with you. We feel your love not only for our company and our colleagues, but for all the people we serve.

We respect the different opinions of others, including those that may disagree with ours or our artists’. But there is no need to say hurtful words, throw insults, and spread disinformation. We hope that respect and understanding will prevail especially at this critical time.

Again, to our Kapamilya artists, maraming salamat. We will overcome these challenges as one family. Kapamilya Forever.

Here is the statement in Tagalog:

Nagpapasalamat ang ABS-CBN sa lahat ng mga artistang nagpahayag ng kanilang pagmamahal at pagmamalasakit sa kumpanya habang ito ay dumadaan sa isang matinding pagsubok.

Buong puso at tapang ninyong ibinahagi at ipinadama ang inyong mga saloobin kahit alam ninyong hindi lahat ay maaaring sumang-ayon sa inyo. Dama namin ang inyong pagmamahal hindi lang para sa ating tahanan at mga kasamahan sa industriya, ngunit para rin sa ating mga kababayang ating pinaglilingkuran.

Nirerespeto namin ang opinyon ng iba’t ibang tao, kahit na sumasalungat sa aming pananaw o ng aming mga artista, ngunit hindi kailangang gumamit ng masasakit na salita, mag-insulto, o magkalat ng kasinungalingan. Sana ay respeto at pag-unawa sa kapwa ang pairalin natin lalo na sa panahon ngayon.

Muli, maraming salamat sa aming Kapamilya artists. Malalampasan natin ang mga hamong ito bilang isang pamilya. Kapamilya Forever.
