An emotional Kim Chiu gave assurance to ABS-CBN executives that she will always be a “Kapamilya,” as she renewed her contract with the network on Wednesday.

During the contract-signing event, the TV actress-host teared up as she recalled how her showbiz career began 17 years ago through ABS-CBN’s reality TV show “Pinoy Big Brother.” She also thanked the network for giving her the opportunity to reach not only her dreams but her family’s as well.

“I started without having anything on my hand or anything in my pocket,” the actress said in a shaky voice. “I don’t know how to sing, to dance, I don’t even know how to act, even to host—masakit sa tenga ako magsalita (my voice sounds annoying)—but I’m here, living my dream and renewing another year with my network—two years.”

I will always be here. I will always be grateful, and I will always be a Kapamilya.”

Chiu looked forward to spending more years with the Kapamilya network, expressing her excitement for what’s in store for her.

“I’ve been through a lot of challenges this past year [but] I’m just very thankful that I have these pretty amazing, generous, loving, supportive people behind me,” she stressed, adding how she aspires to inspire more people through her platform.
