Pia Wurtzbach joins Kapamilya network

-


Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach is now a certified Kapamilya.

This after the third Miss Universe from the Philippines signed a two-year contract with ABS-CBN last October 9.

"Maraming salamat ABSCBN sa tiwala. It took almost 8 months of communicating and finalizing everything. But it’s worth the wait. We are extremely happy and blessed indeed," said beauty queen maker Jonas Gaffud of the Aces and Queens beauty camp, on his Instagram post.

On a separate post, Gaffud also said on IG: "Finally, our Miss Universe is now officially a Kapamilya. Just signed a two year contract with ABSCBN."

Incidentally, Wurtzbach has been a Kapamilya since she was 14 years old under the screen name Pia Romero.

In those days, Wurtzbach only played supporting roles in teleseryes.


“I started with a five-year contract [in ABS-CBN] and I kept renewing lang every year, and then I stopped,” Wurtzbach told ABS CBN after she signed the contract.

“Iyon ‘yung nag-culinary muna ako and then I joined Binibining Pilipinas. When you join kasi Bb. Pilipinas, you’re not allowed to have any contracts, so I couldn’t come back to ABS-CBN. But now na tapos na ako sa pageant world, puwede na ulit,” she added. “I’m just happy to be back here."

Wurtzbach said that she couldn't believe she is now a Kapamilya.

“I can’t believe it, it’s actually happening already. This was a few months in the making… a few months of meetings and talks, and trying to figure out what I’m going to do with ABS-CBN. And finally, na-seal na lahat dahil nag-contract signing na kami,” she said.


Wurtzbach hinted at her forthcoming projects for the popular television network.

“There are a few movies in there and a few TV shows, but I can’t reveal just yet, para lang surprise. But we have very exciting stuff, and I really trust ABS-CBN that they know they’re going to put me in the right path,” she also said.

Wurtzbach is currently shooting "Gandarrapiddo: The Revengers," an entry to the 2017 Metro Manila Film Festival. It also stars ace comedian Vice Ganda and Daniel Padilla. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "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

Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding. It’s just that we have been told over and over for about a year already that it would take “just one more month or two na la
