Former Kapamilya actress Hope Soberano made an apology to his former home network, ABS-CBN, and to her other colleagues who were affected by her statement in her controversial 14-minute vlog.
It can be recalled that Soberano faced one of the biggest issues of her career when she claimed that she was restricted to express her ideas while working for ABS-CBN.
“I’ve been in six feature films, over 500 episodes of teleserye, and have only really dabbled into three main genres romance, comedy, and drama. Since I was 16, I had only really worked side by side with one main co-star, with the same production company, rotating around the same three directors. During all those years, I was never really asked for my input, my thoughts, my ideas,” the actress stated.
“I’ve sacrificed myself, I’ve sacrificed my freedom, I’ve sacrificed my happiness to present Liza Soberano to the world, and I think I’ve earned the right to finally be me,” she added.
However, Soberano suddenly changed her tune and became apologetic for her past statement.
“ABS-CBN was always my second home. I devoted so many years to them. I’m sorry again also to them if there were people that I’ve worked closely with that were offended by some of the things that I said in my vlog. That wasn’t the intention but then also I’m thankful to them,” Liza said.
“And they know this, I’m thankful for them for taking a risk on me when I was a nobody, for investing in me, developing me, creating Liza Soberano. And thank you also for being so understanding when I decided to no longer renew with them,” she added.
She also apologized to her former talent manager Ogie Diaz.
“I would say sorry if I hurt his feelings and I would say thank you for everything that I have, everything that I know, and everything that I’ve achieved through his help,” she said.
It’s not yet known if the apology made by Liza was enough to be forgiven by her former colleagues.
