“TAPOS na ang network war!” Ito ang paniniwala ng mga Kapuso at Kapamilya stars matapos magsanib-pwersa ang ABS-CBN at GMA 7 para sa bonggang-bonggang project.
Itinuturing na isang “milestone” sa Philippine television ang partnership ng dalawang higanteng network sa bansa kung saan mapapanood na rin sa Kapuso network ang mga Star Cinema movies
Kahapon, April 5, naganap ang historic contract signing sa pagitan ng ABS-CBN at GMA executives “to license some of Star Cinema’s most popular movies.”
Ayon kay GMA Network President and Chief Operating Officer Gilberto R. Duavit Jr., “To us, we are very pleased because the significance of our partnership today ushers in the possibility of a far broader set of conversations, potential partnerships, and cooperation that will have the benefit not only mutually to GMA and ABS-CBN, but as importantly, if not perhaps more importantly, to the benefit of the public we both serve—the Filipino viewer.
“Looking forward, since we have, as they say, broken the ice, there is great optimism that these conversations will start and continue, and we look forward to the possibility of this type of an opportunity again moving forward,” aniya pa.
Sey naman ni GMA 7 First Vice President for Program Management Jose Mari Abacan, “Sa tagal ko pong nagpo-programming ng network at sa pagbili ng pelikula, tuwang-tuwa po ako na after having a lot of relationships with other majors ay madadagdagan na naman po tayo ng isang grupo na tinitingala ko magmula pa nu’ng una.
“Maraming salamat, Star Cinema at ABS-CBN. And I am inviting everyone to witness this momentous affair,” dagdag pa niya.

Ito naman ang mensahe ni ABS-CBN President and Chief Executive Officer Carlo L. Katigbak, “Every storyteller’s dream is to have as many people as possible experience their creations.
“Now, because of the kindness of our friends at GMA, we have the special opportunity to bring our Kapamilya stories to a new audience.
“We hope the Kapusos find joy and inspiration in viewing our Star Cinema movies, and we also look forward to a new era of friendship and cooperation within our small industry.
“Maraming salamat, Chairman Gozon, Jimmy, Annette, Philip, Joey, Joel, and all our other friends at GMA who have made this partnership happen. Maraming maraming salamat po,” pahayag pa niya.
Ang ilan sa mga blockbuster hits ng Star Cinema na mapapanood sa GMA ay “My Ex and Whys” nina Liza Soberano at Enrique Gil, “The Hows of Us” starring Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, at “Hello, Love, Goodbye” nina Kathryn Bernardo at Alden Richards.
Samantala, nagpahayag naman ng kanya-kanyang saloobin ang mga Kapamilya at Kapuso stars sa kasunduan sa pagitan ng dalawang network.
Sa “TV Patrol” kagabi, binati ng mga anchor na sina Karen Davila at Bernadette Sembrano (parehong galing sa GMA) ang dalawang istasyon matapos ibandera ang nasabing partnership.
Sey ni Karen, “Wow, talaga namang it’s a new era, di ba? Congratulations sa ating dalawa.” Na sinundan ni Bernadette ng, “Sa Star Cinema and GMA!”
Nag-post din sa Twitter ang dating Kapamilya na si Kim Atienza tungkol dito, aniya, “The force field is broken! GMA X ABS-CBN! The beginning of many beautiful things to come! The Lord works in mysterious ways!”
“All in God’s perfect time! GMA X ABS,” dagdag pa niya.
Shookt naman ang Kapuso star na dati ring Kapamilya na si Mark Bautista sa pagsasanib-pwersa ng dalawang network, pati na rin sina Ai Ai delas Alas, Jeric Gonzales, Bianca Umali at Sofia Pablo.
