Comedian Antonio Aquitania is one of the prized talents of GMA Network who is known for being part of the long-running comedy variety show Bubble Gang.
When the show first started broadcasting, he was already part of the original cast.
On the newest GMA online show titled “Just In“, hosted by Paolo Contis, who is his fellow cast member on Bubble Gang, he was asked why he chose to stay with the show and with the network.
“‘Yung loyalty Pao nandoon e. ‘Yung nagsimula ako doon sinabi ko kailangan hindi ako aalis. And gusto ko siyang matapos siya na, matapos ‘yung show, hindi ‘yung nagkaroon ka ng opportunity sa iba.”
When the actor revealed that it was loyalty that made him stay, he was then asked if he ever had offers from other networks and shows.
“Well may mga chance naman, pero alam mo ‘yun mahal mo e. Mahal mo ‘yung show. ‘Yung GMA naman hindi naman ako pinabayaan, alam mo ‘yun. Meron laging soap, meron silang ibang ibinibigay.
“‘Yun na ‘yung pinakabasehan ko na bakit ako aalis or ‘di ba kahit nagkaroon ng offer sa iba. Stay ka nalang kasi mahalin mo kung ano meron diyan.”
The actor even joked that as much as possible, he does not want to change networks because it could just get him into a fight.
“Baka makapagtrabaho ako sa iba hindi ko rin magustuhan, hindi rin nila magustuhan ugali ko e ‘di baka magsusuntukan kami doon. Ang hirap e! ‘Yun yung ayaw ko e makikipagtrabaho sa iba e baka mapaaway lang ako huwag na lang.”
Antonio Aquitania is an actor, comedian, host. He is one of the two and only remaining original members of Bubble Gang alongside Michael V.
He also appeared on the remake of Korean Drama Series in GMA’s Temptation of Wife, Kakambal ni Eliana and Dear Uge.
