LOOK: Post showing GMA News anchors wearing ABS-CBN colors goes viral
MANILA, Philippines — A photo showing the anchors of GMA News wearing the colors of the embattled broadcast network ABS-CBN during their live newscast went viral on social media Tuesday night.
A Facebook post by a certain Robert Terranz garnered about 5,200 likes and 3,000 shares after pointing out that TV anchors Pia Arcangel, Vicky Morales, and Atom Araullo were wearing the colors of the ABS-CBN logo during their broadcast of primetime news program 24 Oras on Tuesday night.
Arcangel could be seen wearing an A-line sequined red and blue dress, while Morales donned a green boatneck dress. Araullo, meanwhile, wore a blue suit.
“Did… did the 24 Oras reporters really wear ABS-CBN’s theme colors??? Is this a coincidence??? Is this media solidarity??? My heart is soft,” Terranz wrote in his post.
The circles of the ABS-CBN logo symbolize the three regions of the Philippines: red for Luzon, green for Visayas, and blue for Mindanao.
