Not long before ABS-CBN faced its franchise renewal issues, many actors and actresses eyed to sign a contract with the network as it reigned the Philippine entertainment industry.
However, the tide turned last year, and several ABS-CBN celebrities began leaving one by one.
It was on May 5, 2020, when the media giant went off the air after National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) issued a cease-and-desist order demanding ABS-CBN to immediately cease all of its free TV and radio broadcasting.
Despite several actors leaving the network, Vice has been vocal about his loyalty and love for ABS-CBN ever since. He has been a Kapamilya for over a decade now.
Even though many Kapamilyas are now departed from ABS-CBN, a greater number of artists, including Vice, still chose to stay and remain loyal to the network.
