I’ll forever be grateful to GMA for trusting me.”
She added that her years as a talent of the Network has been some of the best in her life and it has taught her many values which she cherishes up to this day, “I’m just so grateful. GMA has been my second family for almost eight years. I really grew up with GMA beside me, with the trials in my life, my ups and downs. In GMA kasi, we don’t treat each other as co-workers. We all have a relationship with each other. I just can’t believe that up to this day, everyone is still supporting me, everyone has my back. I’ve learned to love my co-workers throughout the years. It’s just so heartwarming. I appreciate the bosses for trusting me since day one, it means a lot. Mark my words, I will never leave this Network. GMA Artist Center is my second family.”

Congratulations, Gabbi!”

Watching that AVP, talagang nakita natin lahat ang growth mo as an artist and you mentioned Encantadia and Alena. I remember the many stories about the shoots in Encantadia and I know what you were talking about – the life lessons and learning so much. You were very young then. You’re so accomplished. We’re so proud of you. And we want you to know that your dreams are our dreams for you too. We will just be here for you. Keep on being an inspiration to young people, and other young actors and actresses. It is also so wonderful that you’re very close to your family. Know that your second family, GMA, will always be here for you.”

Finally, Ferrer assured Gabbi of their faith in her many talents, ”Aside from being an actress, Gabbi is one of the most trusted endorsers of very important clients, one of the most followed Kapuso stars in social media. I can actually remember Gabbi when she auditioned for us several years ago when she was still a teenager. And we in Artist Center are very proud of how she has bloomed into becoming a very responsible, family-centered young woman who has the utmost dedication to her craft. Congratulations Gabbi and looking forward to making more projects with you. We in Artist Center are here to support you all the way.”
