Actor McCoy De Leon recently moved to Viva Artists Agency after staying with ABS-CBN’s management arm, Star Magic.
Viva is known to put their artists in other networks, so when asked if he was fine working for TV5 or GMA Network, McCoy confirmed that he is ready and that he trusts Viva.
“Actually before Viva po, meron na pong nagsabi sa kin na may offer na sa ibang network. Di ko masabi. Marami na rin po akong naririnig. Pero ako any naman po. Kung magustuhan ko yung work, Masaya yung kasamahan, at yun tiwala naman po ako sa Viva,” said McCoy.
He also confirmed that Viva assured him that he can still work with ABS-CBN and that it will always be his home.
“Yun din naman po yung tinanong ko sa kanila, actually sila ang unang nagsabi po na ganon. Kaya ako naging komportable na ganon. Alam naman natin na ang pangit ng ganong desisyon. Pero sabi ko ito, pinalawak ko lang siguro yung pwede kong pasukan na work. ABS-CBN will always be my home talaga. Habang buhay na yun,” McCoy added.
