January 09, 2021 RICHARD Yap remains thankful to ABS-CBN after transferring to GMA-7: I came from there and I’m always grateful and thankful for all they have done for me. But he also made it clear that those offers excluded ABS-CBN.
He said, “Of course, hindi ko po talaga sasabihin iyon, hindi ko sila ipu-put down because I came from there. And I’m always grateful and thankful for all they have done for me. At saka, if you saw the interview, makikita mo naman talagang I never mentioned na ABS iyon.
Richard also recalled what he said during the presscon last December, “I said the networks who were blocktiming and starting up, iyon ang kumparison ko. I just said, iyong iba were doing blocktiming, iyong iba were just starting up. So it would be difficult for them to compete with GMA, which was more established.”
