Especially yung mga katrabaho namin na hindi na namin makikita ulit. Or nasa ibang kompanya na nagtatrabaho. Pero since maliit naman yung industriya natin, nakikita mo pa rin sila. Pero hindi na sila kapamilya. Pero the best part is, why I stayed and continue serving with ABS-CBN is because I believe the content that ABS-CBN is producing no matter what may franchise or wala, is world-class quality. yun naman.“Aanhin mo yung franchise kung basura naman yung trabaho? I mean, parang mas masarap magtrabaho kahit bawas yung suweldo, kahit hindi laging may trabaho, pero alam mo na yung quality nung trabaho, yung mabibigay mo sa audience mo, I know in the service of the Filipino we have a responsibility to our audience.

No matter what, magloko man yan, umalis man yun ng landas, kapamilya mo pa rin yan. Susuportahan mo all the way. No matter what. Lalo na pag nasaktan siya.
