Despite ABS-CBN’s franchise issue, Shaina Magdayao chose to remain with her home network.
On November 27, during the Star Magical Christmas party, tributes were given to loyal artists of ABS-CBN, including Magdayao.
Magdayao has been a Kapamilya for over 25 years now.
During her speech at the party, Magdayao mentioned that she remained loyal to ABS-CBN because she owes her career to the Network.
In 2020, she still signed with ABS-CBN despite the lack of a franchise amid the pandemic.
“Noon nabigyan ako ng opportunity to sign a two-year contract again with ABS-CBN during the pandemic, hindi ako nagdalawang-isip to sign.
“Why? Number one, it would have been the worst time the sign up a station na nawalan ng prangkisa, but it was the perfect timing for me to express my love, my loyalty para sa estasyon na nagpalaki sa akin at tumayo at lumaban kasama ang mga tao na nagpalaki sa akin through the years,” she said.
She also thanked her ABS-CBN bosses, whom she also considered as the reasons why she stayed in the Network for so long.
“I will never get tired of thanking my bosses. Thank you so much for keeping me here. Kayo po talaga ang dahilan kung bakit ako nandito,” she said.
Aside from Shaina Magdayao, Angelica Panganiban got recognized for her loyalty to the ABS-CBN.
