(I want to repeat myself. I never harbored any negative feelings towards my network. I always say that there would never be a Nadine Samonte if it wasn’t for GMA. And I will forever be grateful for that.)
Samonte urged her followers to “spread love” while stating that she would always be proud to be part of GMA.
“I’m always proud to be a Kapuso. Let’s all spread love. Stay safe and God bless,” she said.
Broadcast journalist Christine Babao showed her love to Samonte in the comments, while the actress’ followers hoped that such incident won’t happen again.

Samonte earlier made headlines after she expressed her dismay towards the GMA Gala’s organizers after she was treated poorly at the star-studded event, even though she made an effort to prepare since last year.
The incident first came to light when members of her glam team posted on social media about their dismay over the incident, which included Samonte not being on the guest list, and then belatedly finding a table for her at the back of the room, prompting her to just leave the party early.
