Dominic Ochoa noted that he remains a Kapamilya despite doing projects with other networks.
On November 27, during the Star Magical Christmas party, tributes were given to loyal artists of ABS-CBN, including Ochoa. The actor has been with Star Magic since 1996.
In his speech, Ochoa thanked his home network that built his career.
“It’s something that I really never imagined, it’s something that was not my in dictionary to do. Hindi ko na imagine na mag-a-artista ako. In fact, nagalit pa ang tatay ko nung nalaman na nag-artista ako. But it’s something that I love to do. It’s something that I would cherish na hanggang mawala ako, ay nandidito pa rin ako. And I told my self hangga’t nandito ang Star Magic, I would still be here.
“I started as a Kapamilya, I will end as a Kapamilya. I know I have a show. They borrowed, they allowed. I am thankful but I will still be a Kapamilya. Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat. Cheers, everyone! Thank you, thank you,” he said.
Currently, he has a show on GMA Network called Abot-Kamay na Pangarap, where he plays Michael Lobrin.
Aside from Dominic Ochoa, Nikki Valdez, Dimples Romana, Shaina Magdayao, and Angelica Panganiban also got recognized for their loyalty to Star Magic.
