"It’s hard because they're there, because they are very passionate about what they do. They love what they do. We love what we do and that's why there’s a tendency for us to be abused because we love what we do and hindi kami nagrereklamo about it but mahal na mahal namin.” "Binibigyan niyo ng importansya ngayon 'yung aming kalagayan. Noon pa man early '80s sila Lino Brocka, sila Behn Cervantes, have been trying to make this happen. Pero hindi nakakuha ng sapat na suporta. Hanggang ngayon eh ganun pa rin ang sitwasyon," he said.

Redgie Magno, GMA Network vice president for drama production, said they do not always have ambulance on standby. ACT CIS Rep. Nina Taduran, herself a former broadcaster, was also emotional. "I can say I empathize and sympathize with them. The industry is the most exploited workers in the country. Pareho lang kami halos 24/7. Halos hindi natutulog ang ating media workers. Kung makakapagsalita lang ang mga cameraman natin dito, mga reporters, this is a very glamorous profession kasi nag-o-oncam kami.”

Labor Committee chair Eric Pineda acknowledged how emotional the proceedings have become. “Malapit na rin ako naiyak. Very touching. Hindi po ito acting, totoo po ito,” he said.HB 81 – Prescribing a mandatory occupational safety, health, and emergency response program for all artists in the film, television, and theater industries of the Philippines
