According to Lolit, how can one be so fearless to close their doors towards another network.

"Baka figure of speech, taken out of context ang nangyari. How can you be so fearless na sarhan totally ang pinto at bintana mo sa isang network ngayon kung saan parang may exodus ng mga Kapamilya na lumilipat para maging Kapuso.

"Kasi nga, kung totoo na sinabi ito ni direk Andoy Ranay, dapat panindigan niya na forever and ever hindi siya tatanggap ng trabaho sa isang network na sa kanyang palagay ay gumagawa ng basura."

She then wrote in her post what the standards are for a show to not be labeled as a 'basura.'

"Ano ba ang pamantayan para hindi maging basura? Paano ba gagawin maganda para hindi ma-brand na basura? Dapat ba isang direktor na tulad ni Andoy Ranay ang laging kunin? Or dapat laging Ricky Lee ang writer? Dapat mga Kapamilya star ang bida?

"Ngayon ba na nasa GMA-7 na si direk Johnny Manahan, Bea Alonzo, John Lloyd Cruz hindi na magiging basura mga shows ng GMA-7? Very vague kasi ang comment ni direk Andoy Ranay, para bang lahat ng ginawa, lahat ng pinanood basura."

At the end of her post, Lolit wrote that by the end of the day, GMA-7 still firmly stands.

"Basta, kahit ano pa nga sabihin, matatag at nakatayo parin ang GMA-7, at walang duda, matagal pa ang franchise.

"At kung papayagan hiramin ang sinasabi na 'may pera sa basura' iyon na, wala ng laban, uwian na dahil may nanalo na direk Andoy Ranay.

"Parang mas gusto ko na iyon dahil at least marami ang mabibigyan ng trabaho. Saka tignan mo, naglilipatan na sila, baka dahil mas maganda iyon 'basura', palagay mo?"
