For appearing in an advertisement defending Meralco and explaining the controversial system's loss matter, actress Judy Ann Santos might find her rosy career plunging together with the beleaguered power company.
Yesterday, June 3, the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC), made a call asking the public to boycott all of Judy Ann's films and television series in response to her latest infomercial favoring Meralco.
Leading the call was VACC Chairman Dante Jimenez alongside 28 non-government organizations. Jimenez branded Judy Ann's statement in the said commercial as a "lie" and an elaborate attempt by the Lopezes to save face.
In the said TV ad, Juday is shown defending Meralco's action of passing on system's loss to the consumers, arguing that the said practice is a valid one.
The system's loss issue is the latest addition to Meralco's alleged "overcharging" habit against its consumers.
Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) chief legal counsel and spokesperson Estrella Elamparo also criticized the said advertisement, calling it "a desperate attempt to shore up Meralco's sagging reputation."
"Meralco is now sputtering on an empty tank," she said. Elamparo showed sympathy for Juday by saying that the popular actress and in-demand product endorser is just a "captive talent" of ABS-CBN, which literally puts her under the mercy of the network's executives.
