“It’s final!” “The transfer of Regine Velasquez to ABS-CBN is not pushing through.” Since last year, Regine opted not to sign a new contract with GMA when her contract expired. She received tempting offers from both ABS-CBN and GMA which she decided to hold. There was already a meeting of minds about her transfer to ABS-CBN until both parties changed its decision. ABS-CBN supposed to be is no longer interested in hiring her. For a while, Regine Velasquez was genuinely tempted to jump ober da bakod from GMA, her home these past several years, to rival station ABS-CBN more than three months after her contract expired in October last year. Why wouldn’t she be when, according to a Funfare DPA Rock ‘n’ Roll, she was being lured to sign a contract by ABS-CBN with a P25-million-a-year “bait”? Regine Velasquez is Regine Velasquez, and GMA wouldn’t let her go just like that without putting up a fight. Losing no time, the GMA execs sat down with Regine and listened to whatever “gripes” she had. True enough, whatever kinks there were have been ironed out and Regine has decided to stay where she is. As agreed upon, she will be given her own show, a telenovela that will showcase her so far not-fully-tapped acting talent and, perhaps, a movie by the network’s sister company GMA Films. One thing about Regine, she knows her way around. |
