“Drug War: A Conspiracy of Silence,” bakit nawala sa YouTube?

Ni NONIE V. NICASIO

TINUTUKAN namin nang husto ang seryeng “Drug War: A Conspiracy of Silence” na napapanood nang libre sa YouTube. Iba kasi ang timpla nito at swak na swak sa aming panlasa. Para kasi kaming nagbalik noong mga taon na namayagpag ang EJK noong nakaraang administrasyon.

Isa pa sa gusto namin dito ay ang mahuhusay na pagganap ng lead cast na kinabibilangan nina Ian Veneracion, Harvey Bautista, at Jane Oineza.

Tampok din dito sina Lotlot de Leon, John Arcilla, Yayo Aguila, Art Acuña, Joem Bascon, Ryan Eigenmann, Gabby Padilla, Janus del Prado, Romnick Sarmenta, at iba pa. Ito’y mula sa pamamahala ni Direk Shugo Praico.

Ang ‘di lang okay para sa akin ay every week ko itong dapat abangan, kaya bitin. Plus, may mga eksena na kung hindi ko na maalala sa mga previous episodes, kailangan kong silipin ulit ang mga nagdaang episode para mas masubaybayan ko ito nang maayos dahil maraming flashbacks dito.

Anyway, isa ako sa maraming lalong nabitin noong walang episode na napanood sa YouTube two Thursdays ago. Kaya naman nagpm kami last week kay France Simeon na PR ng serye at nagtanong kami kung ano’ng nangyari. Pero clueless din pala siya.

Last Thursday ay nagpadala ng update si France at narito ang kabuuan:

To everyone who has been waiting, thank you for your patience.

Over the past few days, we have been working to understand and address the circumstances surrounding the temporary removal of Episodes 1–5 of Drug War: A Conspiracy of Silence from YouTube.

We understand that many of you have been following the series week after week and were looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds, especially as we approach its final chapter. We also recognize the questions and uncertainty caused by the episodes becoming temporarily unavailable.

At this time, we are still completing our review and coordinating with the relevant parties. While we are unable to share further details until the matter has been fully resolved, we want to assure our audiences that the series is not ending here.

Episodes 1–5, together with the sixth and final episode, will still be made available to audiences. We will announce the updated release schedule as soon as the arrangements have been finalized.

The story will also continue to reach audiences beyond its online release, with community screenings organized by schools and organizations taking place in the coming weeks.

We sincerely thank everyone who has stayed with Drug War: A Conspiracy of Silence—those who watched, shared, discussed, questioned, and supported the series throughout its run. Your continued interest in the story matters to us.

The story continues.
