Former ABS-CBN artists Glaiza de Castro, Mark Bautista, and Christian Bautista expressed their support to their former home network.
On her Twitter account, Glaiza said that the issue is not a battle between networks, but it is a battle of all Filipino people.
Hindi na ito labanan ng istasyon, laban to ng mga Pilipino. Lahat tayo apektado. Dasal, kapit, akap.

Even though Glaiza is well-known as a Kapuso artist, she started her career with ABS-CBN. She was part of the Star Magic Batch 11 along with Maja Salvador, Pia Wurtzbach, and Nikki Gil.
Singer Mark Bautista also sympathized with his fellow artists.
Praying for my fellow artists at this very trying time..

“Praying for my fellow artists at this very trying time..” he said.
Mark worked with ABS-CBN from 2004 until 2010 when he decided to transfer to GMA Network.
Christian Bautista, also a former ABS-CBN artist, posted the title of his song “Kapit” and used seven heart symbols, in which the first three heart colors are a representation of the ABS-CBN network.
Christian was a finalist in the ABS-CBN singing show, Star in a Million in 2003. He then decided to shift to the other network ten years later.
As ABS-CBN appeals for its franchise renewal, many artists, regardless of their affiliation, expressed their support for the network.
