NAGPAALAM na nga si Kris Aquino sa ABS-CBN matapos ang dalawang dekada ng pagiging Kapamilya. Sa tatlong mahahabang Instagram post ay inilahad ng Queen of All Media ang ginawa niyang desisyon sa paglipat ng network.
Ayon kay Kris, maraming nangyari matapos ang pagbabakasyon niya ng ilang buwan sa ibang bansa kasama ang mga anak na sina Joshua at Bimby, partikular noong magtungo sila ng Hawaii at mamaalam ang morning show niyang Kris TV.
Kinumpirma ni Kris na nasa pangangalaga na siya ng talent management ni Mr. Toni Tuviera, ang manager din nina Marian Rivera at Maine Mendoza. Nagpasalamat din siya sa Kapamilya Network na naging tahanan niya sa loob ng 20 taon.
Narito ang kabuuan ng napakahabang IG post ni Kris.
“Part 1: We were set to renew our contract February 2016, it was a generous, less demanding agreement but at that time there was a threat to my life we needed to take seriously, I had to regain my health, and I needed time for my family & me.
“We didn’t sign then, I went to Hawaii, came back to campaign, then left again. Our agreement was we’d talk when I got back.
“That is the risk of taking time for yourself- when you come back there’s no guarantee that a space will be held for you.
“We spoke in July but there was no definite show & no assured time frame of my return on air. I perfectly understood- as much as I wanted to believe I was a pillar of the network, everybody is dispensable.
“And I say that with no bitterness- just HONESTY. So to all of you saying please don’t leave- it wasn’t a choice that was just mine to make. I take my share of the responsibility.
“And I say that w/ so much gratitude in my heart.”
“Part 2: Where am I now? Boy Abunda reached out to Mr. T- Tony Tuviera on my behalf. I had an excellent experience coproducing My Little Bossings w/ MZET, OctoArts, & APT. Our plan was initially just a digital initiative- I know you miss my#foodtrips & my #cooking #recipes #roadtrips & #travel.
“But maybe my guardian angel in heaven (could it have been you, Mom?) was working overtime & what was an attempt at something new & experimental, evolved into a vision & a presentation that felt perfect for who I am now & for our TV collaboration.
“Mr. T actually remembered coming to our home in Times Street in 1986 to meet my Mom to produce a show for me when I was 15 years old. 30 years after- dumating na ang TAMANG PANAHON.
“Part 3: My sons & I leave today for a little over a week- advanced making up on my part because I have an exceptionally full work calendar until Christmas.
“They had so much of me for 4 months- so we’ll be adjusting…When we come back, the unit I’m renting from Tito Manolo & Tita Maritess Lopez in Rockwell will be ready (I believe that is proof enough that there is no bad blood between the owners of my former network & me.)
“This is the 1st & last I shall say about this chapter of my life. You deserved the true story & I gave you my truth, so that we may all move forward.
“So here’s a shoutout of THANK YOU to the Kapamilya Network ABS-CBN for all that was, and here’s a shoutout of THANK YOU to my new APT family for all that will be. And most of all my THANK YOU to all of you for allowing me to just be me.”
