On February 23, Kapamilya artist Ronnie Alonte shared why he has chosen to remain as Kapamilya.
During the Kapamilya Strong 2022 media conference, Alonte said that ABS-CBN supported him when he had nothing.
“Mahalaga sa akin ang pagiging isang kapamilya kasi ito ‘yung bumuhay sa akin noong dating walang-wala talaga pa ako.”
He added that ABS-CBN continued to include him in the company despite the arrival of new artists.
“And hanggang ngayon, nandito pa din ako, nagpapasalamat sa Diyos na dumating man ‘yung maraming artista na syempre ang bilis ng pahanon ngayon, may mga bagong nagsusulputan so hindi pa din tayo nabigyan ng– hindi tayo nawala, hindi tayo na ano, so may panibagong kontrata.
“Sa tulong ng mga bosses ngayon na binigay sa akin na panibagong kontrata. Happy. Kasi nandito ‘yung tiwala and suporta nila sa akin.”
He then expressed gratitude toward ABS-CBN’s decision to keep him as one of their artists.
Grabe hindi ko din ine-expect. Pang pitong taon ko pa lang ito sa industriya eh. So, sobrang happy ako na nandoon pa rin ‘yung ito–binigyan tayo ng bagong kontrata ulit. So tuloy-tuloy na ‘tong trabaho na ‘to at excited na ako. Excited na sa mga susunod pang mangyayari.
He recalled the highlights of his career as a Kapamilya artist, such as Seklusyon and Vince and Kath and James; while he shared his advice to aspiring new artists.
“Para sa akin ‘yung Seklusyon days ko at Vince, Kat, and James. Noong Metro Manila film Fest.
“Ang masasabi ko lang doon sa mga kabataan na talagang gusto pang at gustong maging artista, ituloy niyo lang ‘yung pangarap niyo. Kung ano ‘yung nararamdaman niyo, go lang. Wag kayo makikinig sa iba, sundin niyo ‘yung puso niyo. So ‘yun.”
