Host-actress Kris Aquino, in a live TV Patrol interview on March 21, announced her resignation from all her shows. She said it was because she no longer wanted the public to make a spectacle of the controversy she was currently involved in.
Kris currently has three shows on ABS-CBN: KrisTV, Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw, and Pilipinas Got Talent.
ABS CBN and Kris Aquino have met several times to discuss her intent to resign.
ABS CBN fully understands Kris’ desire to be the best mother to Bimby and Josh. On the other hand, ABS-CBN values Kris as an iconic talent and a respected national media personality. Both parties recognize her responsibilities to the public, her co-workers and to the advertisers.
After thorough discussions, Kris has agreed to take a leave instead. This will allow her to spend quality time with Bimby in June when he is on school break and to bring Josh abroad to advance his developmental progress. After her leave, Kris will honor her responsibilities and will fulfill her contractual commitments to ABS-CBN without impairing her role as a mother.
