Nancy steps in to help battered entertainment industry

The entertainment sector is among others that were heavily affected by movement restrictions under the partial lockdown imposed in mid-March.

The government, she said, was also keen on reviving the nightlife economy and had not underestimated the challenges faced by the industry. Nancy’s comments followed her discussion yesterday with Karyawan president Freddie Fernandez on the battered sector. “While a return to normalcy remains far off, we will ensure everybody adheres to strict rules,” he said.

Many entertainers and establishments have received zero income following movement restrictions for more than three months.Freddie said tens of thousands of people have been brought to their knees since the movement control order on March 18 forced the closure of entertainment outlets and the cancellation of events.
