Kris Aquino Leaves ABS-CBN, Joins The Kapuso Network. The Reason? It's For You To Find Out


TV host-actress Kris Aquino has finally confirmed that she is leaving ABS-CBN Network. In her Instagram posts early Monday, Kris explained her reason for her departure from her home network for 20 years.


Kris said: “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 (and) me,” Aquino’s post read.


Former President Benigno Aquino III disclosed in April that terrorist group Abu Sayyaf plotted to kidnap his sister Kris and boxing icon Manny
Pacquiao. This was confirmed by the TV host.

Kris had an agreement with the management that they will talk about the renewal of her contract after she comes back from her vacation abroad.

“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,” she wrote.



 Now, Kris said she is working with Tony Tuviera of TAPE and APT Entertainment, producer of the TV show, "Eat Bulaga," which airs on ABS-CBN's chief rival network.

It was Kris' friend, TV host Boy Abunda who reached out to Tuviera on her behalf.

“Mr. T actually remembered coming to our home in Times Street in 1986 to meet my Mom to produce a show for me when I was 15 years old. 30 years after- dumating na ang TAMANG PANAHON (the right time has come).”


"This is the 1st & last I shall say about this chapter of my life. You deserved the true story & I gave you my truth, so that we may all move forward… So here’s a shoutout of THANK YOU to the Kapamilya Network ABS-CBN for all that was, and here’s a shoutout of THANK YOU to my new APT family for all that will be. And most of all my THANK YOU.”

Despite from her exit from ABS-CBN, Kris said there is not blood between her and her former network. Kris revealed in her previous Instagram post that she will start taping for her new show on September 22.
