Korina Sanchez bids goodbye to ABS-CBN

Another veteran broadcast journalist confirmed her departure from ABS-CBN after Ted Failon transferred to TV5.

Former ‘Rated K’ host Korina Sanchez posted a lengthy message on Instagram as she reminisced her journey on Kapamilya network.

“From 23 years old (practically just graduated from school) to just very recently, I was one of those very first on-air when the dictatorship toppled, democracy was restored and the network reopened in 1987. And till the day it shut down in 2020 I was still frontlining,” said Korina.

She also mentioned the Lopez family and her mentors as she credits them for her growth as a respected broadcaster in the country.

But even if she would start her new journey, perhaps on another network, Korina said that she will forever be a Kapamilya, in heart and in mind.

“Hindi na ako magpapasalamat kasi kulang na kulang ang salitang “salamat” sa pagkakataong ito. Ganito nalang: hanggang sa muling pagkikita,” she added.

It is rumored that Korina will also be shifting to Kapatid network, where she host a weekly magazine show similar to ‘Rated K’.

Wherever I am now and wherever I’ll be, I am and will always be, hugely, a product of ABSCBN. From 23 years old (practically just graduated from school) to just very recently, I was one of those very first on-air when the dictatorship toppled, democracy was restored and the network reopened in 1987. And till the day it shut down in 2020 I was still frontlining. So many parts of the world I traveled, so many people I met and learned from, so many stories I was entrusted to tell, so many battles and even more memorable victories, so many opportunities to be of service to others — because of ABSCBN. My experiences, my knowledge, my exposure, my life grew with the network through more than 30 years working with the men and women who are ABSCBN. The Lopez Family and all my superiors from then till now had given me all the space to grow, contribute, make mistakes and then grow more. Napakaraming kwento, napakaraming eksena, away-bati, tampuhan, pagmamahalan, iyakan, sagarang trabahong walang tulugan, mga tawag sa principal’s office, mga medalyang sinabit sa leeg ko, mga litrato, mga video, mga programa…Napakaraming mga hindi na maikukuwentong censored na episode… Ito na ang naging buhay ko at ni sa hinagap di ko naisip na biglang mawawala. Sa ngayon. Pero never mawawala sa puso at isip ko ang ABSCBN. Hindi na ako magpapasalamat kasi kulang na kulang ang salitang “salamat” sa pagkakataong ito. Ganito nalang: hanggang sa muling pagkikita. ❤️💚💙
