Loisa Andalio cries as family breadwinner after losing jobs due to pandemic, ABS-CBN shutdown
MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya actress Loisa Andalio turned emotional upon opening up on her hardship now that she has no work due to the pandemic and the ABS-CBN shutdown.
In her recent guesting in “Magandang Buhay,” Loisa said she’s now challenged as her family's breadwinner.
"Pinaka-challenge talaga 'yung walang work. Bilang breadwinner, 'di ba, mahirap. Ikaw 'yung inaasahan ng family mo," Loisa shared.
"Kasi, kumbaga, ikaw 'yung may pinaka-okay na trabaho noon, e. ‘Tapos biglang wala… Tapos sila din naman, hindi naman ganoon talaga… 'Yung sinusuweldo ng mga kuya ko, tama lang naman sa mga anak nila din. So, mahirap, sobrang mahirap."
Loisa said she tried hiding her true feelings to her family and deep inside, she felt not okay.
"Napag-uusapan namin 'yung sitwasyon. 'Yung parang, 'Hindi talaga natin alam, ‘no?' Hirap. Mahirap din kasi sa family, kumbaga, kami 'yung parang strength — edukasyon, pagkain, lahat… Parang ayaw namin sila din 'yung mag-alala din. Ayaw namin silang matakot," Loisa said.
"Kumbaga, hindi din namin pinapakita. Baka malaman nila, ‘Ay, may ganyan pala si Loisa.’ Kumbaga, hirap. Pero mas pinapakita ko sa family ko, 'Wala ito, okay lang ito. Okay lang wala akong trabaho, huwag niyong isipin.' Pero deep inside, hindi okay, e."
Loisa was among the at least 5,000 workers who reportedly lost their jobs when ABS-CBN failed to renew its franchise. The network said it had around 11,000 workers affected by the shutdown.
