Kris Aquino finally confirmed that she’s moving to GMA after 20 years of working at ABS-CBN. Gasp.
In a series of Instagram posts, Kris explained that there’s no bad blood between her and the ABS-CBN executives which might’ve caused her departure. She says that she was partly responsible since she couldn’t renew her contract last February because of health concerns and producers didn’t have a definite timeframe for her to come back on air.
Part 1: I want to tell you our truth & I pray you’ll understand… 20 years ago, I went back to ABS CBN after a year w/ GMA (Star Talk & a Viva produced afternoon talk show). It started w/ Today w/ Kris Aquino & ended w/ Kris Tv. We had a memorable, excellent run. ABS saw me through my worst & my best. I had the chance to be part of career defining shows like TWKA, The Buzz, Game KNB, Deal or No Deal, PGT etc & had iconic movies like Feng Shui & Sukob. We were set to renew our contract February 2016, it was a generous, less demanding agreement but at that time there was a threat to my life we needed to take seriously, I had to regain my health, and I needed time for my family & me. We didn’t sign then, I went to Hawaii, came back to campaign, then left again. Our agreement was we’d talk when I got back. That is the risk of taking time for yourself- when you come back there’s no guarantee that a space will be held for you. We spoke in July but there was no definite show & no assured time frame of my return on air. I perfectly understood- as much as I wanted to believe I was a pillar of the network, everybody is dispensable. And I say that with no bitterness- just HONESTY. So to all of you saying please don’t leave- it wasn’t a choice that was just mine to make. I take my share of the responsibility. And I say that w/ so much gratitude in my heart. ❤️

As of now, Kris is working with Eat Bulaga producer Tony Tuviera for her new TV show with the network. She has yet to confirm what kind of show it will be—another talk show with travel and cooking, maybe?—but she says that it’s a TV collab that was planned around 30 years ago—when Kris was still 15.
Yup, there’s definitely no stopping the Queen of All Media from her work. With that, good luck on your future endeavors, Kris. And we hope that you keep your health and safety in check as you work in your new network.
