They stressed that now more than ever, ABS-CBN needs the backing of its community and supporters.

"No one wishes to see ABS-CBN cease operations— especially at a time when it needs support the most following the loss of its franchise," they said.

They further highlighted their determination to preserve the spirit of the Kapamilya community, pointing to the strong connection between the network and its audience.

"We will not allow the hope, passion, and spirit of our Kapamilya community to be diminished," they added.

Reaffirming their commitment, the couple expressed confidence in the network’s future.

"We believe that ABS-CBN will rise again," they said.

Other Kapamilya personalities, including Bianca Gonzalez, Robi Domingo, Ogie Alcasid, Shaina Magdayao, Melai Cantiveros, Rowell Santiago, and Karla Estrada, have also shown support for the network.

Earlier that day, ABS-CBN released an official statement addressing recent claims and issues involving the Lopez family dispute, further drawing public attention to the situation.

Coco Martin remains one of the most versatile figures in Philippine entertainment, known for his work as an actor, director, and filmmaker. He gained massive recognition through his record-breaking lead role in FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, which dominated local television for seven years. Following its historic run, he briefly stepped away before returning to primetime with another successful series, FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.
