Lovi Poe said her transfer to ABS-CBN was a “decision for myself.”
This was her answer to PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) during her presscon when asked what made her leave GMA-7 for ABS-CBN.
The question was in connection with the movement of artists from the two networks.
Unlike other actors who transferred to ABS-CBN because their contracts were not renewed, Lovi reportedly had a counter-offer from the Kapuso network following her intention to become a Kapamilya.
Lovi explained that while GMA-7 always had “great “ projects for her, she realized at this point in her acting career that it's time she stepped out of her comfort zone.
She said, “Of course, with so much respect, the projects I’ve done have been amazing, too. And I believe they have so much in line that would be great.
“I think it’s more of a whole na parang I feel like we get to a point na we step out of our comfort zone... to experience and take up new adventures in life.”
Lovi clarified further that her decision had nothing to do with any kind of offer from either of the two networks.
“It’s not because you have to compare certain projects or certain treatment or anything like that. It has nothing to do with that.
“It’s like as a whole and me as a person and just making this decision for myself.
“Like what I said, I’ve worked with the best of the best of GMA, and now I’m just gonna work with the best of best of ABS-CBN.
“Just to be given that opportunity to be here and to work with these very, very amazing creatives and really talented actors, parang that’s one of the major factors.”
Her first project with ABS-CBN is the Philippine adaptation of the Korean drama series Flower of Evil, with Piolo Pascual as her leading man.
After 15 years of being a Kapuso, Lovi signed with ABS-CBN on September 16, 2021.
She started her career in GMA-7 via the prime-time series Bakekang, but it was actually in ABS-CBN where she had her first TV appearance via the defunct morning variety-show M.R.S.: Most Requested Show in 2005.
