First, a correction: Contrary to yesterday’s second banner story, Kris Aquino didn’t quit as main host of the two-month-old ABS-CBN early-afternoon show Pilipinas Win Na Win (PWNW).
“I was asked to leave to make way for the new hosts,” Kris texted Funfare, referring to Hitmakers Rico J. Puno, Rey Valera, Marco Sison and Nonoy Zuñiga (minus Hajji Alejandro) who are taking over effective Saturday, Oct. 2, adding with a tone of sentimiento, “I’m only human; I’m just an employee and a good soldier.”
Did she have any regret hosting PWNW which failed to rate after it took over the timeslot of the defunct Wowowee last July 31?
“No regrets,” replied Kris who bids the show goodbye on Friday --- sans tears, hopefully.
She confirmed, though, that she had a dinner meeting with GMA Films’ big boss Annette Gozon-Abrogar two weeks ago.
“We are negotiating for me to do one movie a year for GMA Films.”
Any offer from GMA Network (where she originally came from as host of Startalk, along with her soulmate Boy Abunda, the longest-running “Showbiz Authority,” unchallenged for 15 years)?
Kris was mum.
So what does she plan to do between assignments?
“Get annulled,” was Kris’ short answer.
Meanwhile, here’s the official ABS-CBN statement sent to Funfare by Bong R. Osorio, the “glee-ful” head of the network’s Corporate Communications:
Oct. 1, Friday, will be Ms. Kris Aquino’s last day in Pilipinas Win Na Win. Management has decided to try a combination of new hosts for the program. The Hitmakers, composed of Rico J. Puno, Rey Valera, Marco Sison and Nonoy Zuñiga, will join Pokwang and Valerie Concepcion in Pilipinas Win Na Win on Oct. 2. The program continues to bring fun, games and hope to Filipinos around the world.
