Walang Hanggang Paalam stars Angelica Panganiban and Zanjoe Marudo shared their thoughts on the ABS-CBN’s shutdown and its expansion of platforms and venues to watch Kapamilya programs.
In the media conference for the final week of Walang Hanggang Paalam, Panganiban said that she focused on the positive things that happened after ABS-CBN’s shutdown.
“Siguro maganda na lang tignan yung positibong nangyari sa show di ba? Kumbaga natanggalan ng franchise, natanggalan ng isang network pero pinapalabas naman ngayon kung saan saan. I mean parang mas lumawak lang yung mundo,” said Panganiban.
Then, Panganiban acknowledged the people who believed in ABS-CBN and what they have done for the company.
“Hindi lang naman yun sa kin, sa buong naniniwala at nagmamahal sa ABS-CBN. Kitang kita yung ginawa nila para sa kumpanya. Kumbaga sa dulo kailangan mong isipin na ginawa namin ang lahat and ito talaga yung nangyari,” Panganiban acknowledged.
She then highlighted the venues and platforms ABS-CBN has, from Kapamilya Channel, Jeepney Channel, iWantTFC, and many more, adding that she still felt thankful for the network’s journey.
“And tignan nyo naman ngayon, nasa free TV na ulit, may Kapamilya channel, may jeepney channel, sa iWantTFC, mas dumami kumbaga yung platforms kung saan kami napapanood. Kaya kahit papano talagang napaka-thankful pa rin,” said Panganiban.
As for Marudo, he also felt thankful as a part of Walang Hanggang Paalam.
“Syempre sobrang thankful lalo na yung naging part ako ng Walang Hanggang Paalam kasi nung panahon ng pandemic, nung nagsarado yung ABS,” said Marudo.
Marudo added that he felt good–standing by ABS-CBN and trusting the Network, especially with the opportunities he received as a Kapamilya. Then, He echoed the theme of their series finale “against all odds,” highlighting that ABS-CBN remains in the service of the Filipino.
“And, ang sarap lang ng pakiramdam na alam mo yun na kumapit ka dun sa sitwasyon. And, naniwala, and nagtiwala ka doon sa istasyon na syempre kahit papaano alam mo yung utang na loob. Give and take naman yan. Pero hindi eh, nandito ka kasi dahil sa opportunity na binigay nila. And, nakakatuwa na ganito yung nangyayari ngayon saktong sakto yung against all odds. Na kahit anong gawin nyo, nandito ang ABS, nagserserbisyo sa bawat Pilipino. Kaya ayun ang saya na parte kami noon.”
