IBINABALIK lamang ng OPM icon na si Gary Valenciano ang pagmamahal at loyalty sa ABS-CBN na hindi rin siya iniwan at pinababayaan mula noon hanggang ngayon.
Pumirma uli ng exclusive contract si Gary sa Kapamilya Network kamakailan kaya naman burado na ang mga haka-haka na baka raw lumipat na rin siya sa ibang istasyon tulad ng ginawa ng ilan niyang kasamahan.
Ayon sa singer-songwriter na magse-celebrate na ng kanyang 38th year sa entertainment industry, nananatili ang puso niya sa ABS-CBN dahil until now ay buong-buo pa rin ang tiwala sa kanya ng mga bossing ng network.
“Actually, ganoon talaga ako when it comes to people who allow me to expand my wings, to soar, and ABS has done that. Dahil sa ABS, maliban sa pagiging Kapamilya at tinanggap ako bilang isang Kapamilya, they’ve also allowed me to reach so many more people.
“To be able to reach so many people is something I really am so thankful for. And I think that’s one big reason I have stayed loyal, because they never, never, never lessened their support for me,” pahayag ni Gary V.
Aniya pa, “Nagpapasalamat ako na naniniwala sila hanggang ngayon sa akin. I’m not as young as I once was and yet they’re still there to support me.
“And because of them, I have many of those who are watching right now online that continue to support me as well,” dagdag pa ng TV host-actor-singer.
Sa nakaraang virtual mediacon ng ABS-CBN para sa contract signing ni Gary at iba pang Kapamilya stars, ibinahagi niya na may bago siyang inspirational song na tinatapos.
Kinanta pa ni Mr. Pure Energy ang ilang lyrics ng kanta ngunit hindi naman niya nabanggit ang title nito, “This is the song that I wrote starting last year, and I never got to finish it. I ask that you pray for me so I can finish this song.”
Narito ang lyrics ng kanta ni Gary:
Here we are
Many are mending their broken hearts
Many are grieving and deeply wounded and defeated
From those who’ve gone with no goodbyes
We’ve tried to laugh and we cheer and we cried
For the selfless warriors who’ve held the line for you and I
For families like yours and mine
We’ve been through the best and worst of times
Season after season
When the winds blew hard
And the sun refused to shine above us
Chorus:
But we will sing in the storm
And we will dance in the rain
Though we can’t come close and touch all those
Who now seem so far away
We’re not alone in the storm
And we will pray in the rain
Know our hearts won’t tire
Our faith’s on fire
We know our tears are in the hands of Him
Who can heal us and make us whole again
