OPM icon Ogie Alcasid and versatile actor JC de Vera remain Forever Kapamilyas after renewing their contracts with ABS-CBN on November 4.
Ogie, expressing his joy at being called a “Kapamilya,” shared, “Kapag sinabing Kapamilya ka, ang sarap sa puso, and I mean that. It comes with the honor, distinction, and privilege to serve. It feels amazing to be a Kapamilya forever. Thank you so much for the trust, and let’s keep doing it.”
The multi-talented artist added that viewers can still catch him on It’s Showtime and ASAP. He mentioned that both shows give him joy and motivation, especially when he sees the reactions of the madlang people.
“I’m filled with joy when I hear the ‘Papapa papa Rapa papapa…’ theme. I’m not trying to be corny or dramatic, but there’s a special energy and sense of gratitude I feel when I see the smiles of the madlang people. And in ASAP, when I sing with my friends and incredibly talented singers, we always say we are in service to the Filipino, and that’s truly what we do,” Ogie shared.
JC, also grateful for the network’s continued trust, expressed, “I want to take this time to thank everyone. ABS-CBN has kept me here, and they still need my services. I want everyone to know I’m still growing as an actor. They continue to give me wonderful opportunities, and I’m still challenged and motivated.”
Since becoming a Kapamilya, JC has been pushed to take on diverse roles, helping him hone his craft as an actor. “Since I became a Kapamilya, the network has always tested me with roles outside my comfort zone. I can honestly say that during my time at ABS-CBN, everything I’ve done has been challenging,” he added.
JC also teased an upcoming series where he will be portraying another challenging role, so fans can look forward to more of his exciting performances.
Present at the contract signing were ABS-CBN chairman Mark Lopez, president and CEO Carlo Katigbak, chief operating officer Cory Vidanes, group chief financial officer Rick Tan, TV production head Laurenti Dyogi, and their manager Rey Lanada.
Viewers can watch the “Forever Kapamilya Network Contract Signing” anytime on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel.
