There’s a big possibility for Ogie Alcasid of a network jump after his contract with TV5 expires this August. He might transfer to ABS-CBN for greener pastures or return to GMA Network to be reunited with his wife Regine Velasquez-Alcasid. Anything is possible…
When asked by ABS-CBN News during the presscon of his upcoming birthday concert “Ayokong Tumanda” at Music Museum, Ogie revealed that his network contract with TV5 will expire this August. He said, “The truth is [the] contract is expiring August 18. Thankful ako sa network ko at hindi nila ako nire-restrict. Let’s face it, wala naman kaming show ngayon… wala kaming ibang content kung saan ako pwede lumabas, so naiintindihan naman nila ‘yon.”
“I still have to talk to my manager, saan ba tayo pupunta? Ang focus ko ngayon tapusin muna ang concert, tapos saka na lang mag-isip one-by-one, kasi nagpatong-patong. Anything is possible. … Pero ang feeling ko sa three years being with TV5 we weren’t able to accomplish what we were supposed to accomplish. So kung iiwan ko lang ‘yun na ganoon there’s big part of me na sige baka kaya pa naman. However, kung hindi na kaya, kung wala na, then it’s time to move on. I don’t want to base my position on anything else but where am I needed most at this point,” he added.
Ogie Alcasid already appeared as guest in “ASAP” two times this year. He’s also included in ‘MMK Life Songs,’ “MMK’s” 25th anniversary commemorative album.
