NANANATILING loyal sa Kapuso Network ang Asia’s Songbird na si Regine Velasquez-Alcasid at muli niya itong pinatunayan sa pagpirma ng panibagong two-year exclusive contract sa GMA-7 nitong nakaraang Lunes.
Present sa contract signing sina GMA Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Atty. Felipe L. Gozon, GMA Entertainment TV’s Senior Vice President Lilybeth G. Rasonable, GMA Consultant for Business Development Department II Marivin T. Arayata, GMA Vice President for Drama Productions Redgie Acuña-Magno, GMA Vice President for Corporate Communications Angela Javier-Cruz, GMA Senior Assistant Vice President for Alternative Productions Gigi Santiago-Lara, GMA Assistant Vice President for Drama Productions Cheryl Ching-Sy, GMA Assistant Vice President for Talk, Variety, Musical and Specials Darling de Jesus, Program Managers for ETV Ruth Mariñas at Mae Zambrano at ang manager ni Regine na si Cacai Mitra.
“I am happy na dito pa rin ako sa GMA,” pahayag ni Regine. “I’ve been working with the network for almost 20 years. I know practically all the people, the bosses… I’m very grateful na hindi nila ako masyadong pini-pressure. They’ve been very good to me. For four years, I was given time to be with my son. I was given a very relaxed schedule which I really, really appreciate. Ngayong taon pa lang ako ulit magfu-full blast na magtatrabaho. I’m also excited to go back to work.
Mag-asawang hindi nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral, pinagtapos naman ang 9 na anak!
“What I like about working with GMA is they let my creativity come out. And as an artist being in the business for a long time, minsan mahirap na sina-shut off ka. Sila, they give me the opportunity to be involved, to be heard kung maganda naman ang suggestion, they make sure it is incorporated. In all the projects that I’ve done in GMA, I’ve always been involved,” sabi pa ni Regine.
Pawang papuri naman ang sinabi ni Atty. Gozon tungkol kay Regine na pinasalamatan niya sa muling pagpirma ng kontrata sa kanila, “We are also loyal to her. We are glad that she chose us.”
Tuwang-tuwa rin si Ms. Rasonable sa hindi nagbabagong loyalty ni Regine sa GMA na aniya ay may dalawang bagong show na nakalinyang gagawin.
“As Atty. Gozon also said, we have been loyal to her and its very gratifying na nasusuklian ‘yon kasi she remains to be loyal to GMA and to us. For this year, she has her calendar full. She will continue with Sarap Diva. We are giving her a soap, we are already talking with her. And there’s another one, a once a week show. You’ll see her singing and making people laugh. So, we are excited about that,” pahayag ni Ms. Rasonable.
