Her transfer spurred several reactions throughout the entertainment circuit. According to reports, she will have a movie with Kapuso actor Alden Richards and an upcoming teleserye.
Then in September, Xian Lim confirmed that he’s a new Kapuso following his announcement of a project with GMA Network. Although, Lim clarified that he’s still under the management of the Viva Artist Agency.
The latest of the transferees is Lovi Poe. She confirmed her new status as a Kapamilya on September 16, following the announcement of her upcoming project with Piolo Pascual and her Hollywood movie via The Chelsea Cowboy with Alex Pettyfer and Poppy Delivingne.
