Take ko na rin itong opportunity na ito para magpasalamat ng mabuti sa aking mga GMA bosses. Sobrang saya and blessed ng pakiramdam ko. Sunud-sunod ‘yung trabaho, sunud-sunod ‘yung projects na ipinagkakatiwala sa akin ng Kapuso Network. Simula ng bumalik ako sa kanila, tuluy-tuloy lang ‘yung projects na binibigay nila sa akin and super blessed ako na palaging may work sa kabila ng panahong nangyayari sa atin ngayon. I’m so happy!”

Nakakatuwa that you have come home and renewed and you remain loyal to GMA Network and to GMA Artist Center. We appreciate that and we stay committed to giving you the platforms and the programs that will further hone your craft. Marami ka pang pwedeng gawin. Excited kaming makita ‘yun.
