It is confirmed that Julius Babao will be leaving his home network after being part of the ABS-CBN Network for almost three decades!
On December 29, via Instagram, Karen Davila confirmed her co-news anchor’s departure from the network.
“FULL CIRCLE of my 20 years in ABS-CBN, @juliusbabao has been my co-anchor the longest. He is not just a colleague but a friend.
“We first partnered in TVPatrol World from 2004 to 2010 with Ted Failon & then Bandila in 2010-2019 with Ces Drilon So you can imagine, I’m feeling nostalgic anchoring with Julius on his last week with ABS-CBN,” she captioned.
Davila admitted she looks forward to the day she and Babao will be working again.
“The great Freddie Garcia once told me, “Karen, in television, change is the only thing that’s permanent”. We aren’t here forever, but we give it our ALL with the years given us.
“Kapamilyas come and go, but our hearts remain bonded for life. I pray and believe for better times ahead for ABSCBN. We are strong. Bilog ang mundo at alam ko, magkikita tayong muli. Wishing you well, Julius!” Davila added.
