“YES it’s true that Derek (Ramsay) and his family had reached a decision to move to TV5.
Dutifully, as his manager and friend, I will support fully whatever decision he makes,” ang sabi sa amin ng manager ni Derek na si Joji Dingcong.
“He is grateful for the opportunities the network has extended to him, and in return, he delivered and served the network well.
I know his fans and friends will continue to support him and his future works, as he pursue and embark on a new chapter in his life’s exciting journey,” text message pa sa amin ni Joji.
Bago namin natanggap ang mensaheng ito ay nabalita na sa TV Patrol na tuluyan nang iniwan ni Derek ang ABS-CBN base na rin sa official statement ni Vice President for Corporate Communication na si Bong Osorio.
“Nagdesisyon na si Derek Ramsay na lumipat sa TV5.
Sa mga nakaraang buwan ay ginawa ng ABS-CBN ang kaya nitong gawin para makumbinsi siya na manatiling Kapamilya.
“Ngunit naging mahirap para kay Derek na tanggihan ang inialok na halaga ng TV5 sa kanya. Nais namin pasalamatan si Derek sa maraming taong inilagi niya sa ABS-CBN,” ayon kay Sir Bong.
At dahil kararating lang nina Joji at Derek galing ng Hawaii ay hindi napanood ng una ang TV Patrol kaya gulat na gulat siya nang magtawagan na sa kanya ang mga kaibigan sa industriya.
“Kung ibinalita na (paglipat ni Derek sa TV5), maybe it’s true na talaga ‘coz it’s Derek’s father who wrote to Mr. Gabby Lopez about that, its not me or Derek kasi nga nasa Hawaii kami,” sabi ni Joji.
“Wala akong alam talaga, Reggee kasi up to the last minute, sinasabihan ko si Derek, but it was his family who decided and of course si Derek din, siyempre dahil siya ang may katawan.
Ang explanation ng daddy niya is, his son is not getting any younger and he knows what he likes and dislikes, but it doesn’t mean na binalewala nila ang ABS, of course, tinatanaw nila ng malaking utang na loob ‘yun.
“Sabi nga ng daddy ni Derek, we are very grateful to ABS, Joji and Derek naman gave his best in return, he was very loyal naman to ABS for 6 years,” paliwanag sa amin ni Joji.
May posibilidad na bumalik daw si Derek sa ABS dahil hindi naman daw nito isinara ang pintuan niya sa network, “Three years lang naman ang contract ni Derek sa TV5 and exclusive lang for television.
Therefore, he can still do movies naman sa ibang movie outfits,” say pa nito.
“Derek is doing a movie with Bea Alonzo and Inang (Olive Lamasan),” dagdag pa ng manager.
Samantala, hindi pa alam ni Joji kung anong programa ang ibibigay ng TV5 kay Derek dahil wala pa raw nababanggit sa kanila though naririnig nga raw niya na ang aktor ang magiging host ng Amazing Race Philippines.
