Atom Araullo leaves Kapamilya network

-


Broadcaster-turned-television host Atom Araullo has left ABS CBN where he worked for the popular network for more than a decade, saying that he wanted to "pursue other opportunities and challenges."

"Working with ABS-CBN for over a decade has been an amazing adventure. However, the time has come to explore emerging opportunities and challenges beyond the organization," said in his statement which he posted on Instagram.

"Although I am taking a new path, I have nothing but respect and gratitude for the company that helped me become the journalist I am today. To all the hardworking men and women of ABS-CBN, maraming maraming salamat," Araullo said.


In August 2016, Araullo resigned from his reportorial duties on ABS-CBN but will continue with his other tasks for the same network.

"He said he arrived at this decision to be able to pursue other endeavors that would also help him grow as a journalist and as a host. He is aware that the news organization has included him in its future plans and will continue to tap his talent for stories, coverage and events that befit a journalist of his caliber," Senior Vice President for News and Current Affairs Ging Reyes said in a statement then.

Prior to his departure from the network, Araullo was one of the co-hosts for the daily morning show "Umagang Kay Ganda" and "Red Alert."


Araullo, 34, graduated with a Bachelor's Science degree in Applied Physics at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City.

During his stint on ABS-CBN, Araullo earned several awards, including a bronze world medal at the New York Festivals Awards for his documentary “Warmer” in April this year.

The same documentary was also recognized at the 38th Catholic Mass Media Awards.


In May 2017, Araullo was also hailed by the University of the Philippines Los Baños community as the Best Public Service Program Host for his program “Red Alert.”

In 2014, Araullo was one of the winners in the SUPER (Salute to Unparalled People, Endeavours and Resources) Awards for risking their lives while covering super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in November 2013.

Araullo will make his acting debut for the upcoming film "Citizen Jake,” billed as the comeback movie of multi-awarded director Mike de Leon. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

"Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont
