“Unfortunately, we don’t get to choose how a relationship ends—but I have learned, we do have a say in what memories we choose to keep…
“[M]y prayers & good wishes are with the marshalls, crew, cameramen, technical staff, production assistants and personnel, writers, creative teams, and EVERYONE [I] had the privilege of working with and learning from during my almost 20 years as a [K]apamilya…
“[I] am only expressing sincere, heartfelt THANKS for what shall forever be an unforgettable period, where my personal & professional lives seamlessly intersected—both my sons went from crawling to running while celebrating our many milestones on ABS-CBN.”
Aquino has been away from the television since 2016. Though she has voiced her desire to make a comeback, she said in 2018 that she has not been welcomed back to ABS-CBN because of politics.
“[W]hile I have no issues with President Duterte, his supporters don’t like me. I know the realities of life,” she said.

Following a Senate hearing on the network’s impending franchise renewal, President Rodrigo Duterte has accepted the apology from ABS-CBN President and CEO Carlo Katigbak for airing former Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV’s political ad. However, Duterte said that the decision to renew the franchise will come from the House of Representatives. /ra
