FOLLOWING the government’s declaration of a “community quarantine” and ban on mass gatherings due to an outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), ABS-CBN has temporarily suspended live entertainment shows and production of teleseryes starting on March 15.
“ABS-CBN is temporarily suspending the staging of its live entertainment shows and production of its teleserye starting Sunday in compliance with the goverment’s declaration of a community quarantine and ban on mass gatherings to contain the spread of Covid-19,” the network said in a statement released on their social media accounts.
“The company is taking these initiatives for the safety and health of our artists, crew, production teams, their families and the general public,” it added.
While this measure is in place, the network said it would continue to serve the audiences by bringing back well-loved shows “to help provide inspiration, hope and upliftment.”
“We assure the public that ABS-CBN will continue to bring the latest news and information through our TV and radio newscasts and digital platforms, especially at this time when the country is facing a public health crisis,” the post read.
“We thank our Kapamilya viewers for their understanding and continued support,” it said.
The latest statement was released just three days after ABS-CBN also decided to temporarily stop admitting studio audience to its shows.
The affected TV programs in the said audience ban include “It’s Showtime,” “ASAP Natin ‘To,” “Magandang Buhay,” “Banana Sundae,” and “I Can See Your Voice.”
Noontime show Eat Bulaga, which airs on GMA, also temporarily stopped admitting live audience for their show, in relation to the sudden virus spread. WITH RED MENDOZA
