Kathryn Bernardo became emotional during her contract signing under Star Magic and ABS-CBN on February 2, 2024. It was a poignant moment as she reaffirmed a promise she made when she first started with ABS – a commitment never to leave the network, no matter the challenges faced by both her and the company.
The real test for ABS-CBN came on June 30, 2020, when the network ceased operations due to the denial of its franchise renewal. This decision left thousands unemployed, forcing many artists to switch to other channels. Despite this setback, ABS-CBN persevered. The network collaborated with other channels to continue airing some of its programs. ABS-CBN also ventured into content creation, with its YouTube channel gaining a substantial following. The network not only survived the ordeal but also emerged as a resilient force in the entertainment industry.
Kathryn Bernardo, one of ABS-CBN’s superstars, stood by the network during this challenging time. She showcased her loyalty and commitment, dispelling any doubt about her dedication to ABS-CBN. The network became more than just a workplace; it transformed into a family for Kathryn. In her heartfelt speech, she expressed gratitude to the management and her colleagues, acknowledging their support during tough times.
The bond between Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, formed within the ABS-CBN family, also became a significant part of their journey. Their love team captured the hearts of many, becoming a blockbuster sensation at a young age. Lasting for 11 years, their relationship came to an end last year, presenting another formidable challenge for Kathryn. However, despite personal struggles, she emphasized in her speech that ABS-CBN remained a constant source of support, portraying the network as more than just a workplace.
