Dolphy, the king of Comedy was an exclusive star of ABS-CBN network in the last 2 decades. Happened to made a decision after meeting with TV5 executives last week promised to give him a sitcom with some of his children.
In an interview by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Dolphy explains his decision to transfer:
“I think ABS-CBN felt bad about it. But I just wanted to work. I’ve been waiting for a job for the past 3 years,” he said. “I love ABS-CBN, but I need to move on. I’ll be working with TV5 in the meantime, but anytime ABS-CBN needs me, I’ll just be here.”
ABS-CBN network, on the other hand, through their head of Corporate Communications Bong Osorio issued a short statement regarding the transfer, see below:
“Mang Dolphy has told us about his decision to transfer. We wish him well and to ABS-CBN he will always remain a Kapamilya”.
The king of Comedy assured ABS that he will remain open if ever the kapamilya network needs him. His contract with TV5 is non-exclusive, that means, he can come back to ABS-CBN in the future.
Aside from Dolphy, the Diamond Star Maricel Soriano also signed same non-exclusive contract with TV5. The Queen of Philippine Movies Susan Roces and the Optimum Star Claudine Barretto, was also transferred to another station, GMA-7.
Who else will transfer ? Willie , Pokwang ? joke only. Please share your comments.

well as for my own opinion, right ni mang dolphy or maricel soriano na magtransfer sa ibang channel. actually wala naman dapat exclusivity e. kasi they are serving the public with their profession. so, do not hate abs for letting this big stars go, if they are not happy with abs why should they stay. dun n lng tayo sa magiging fair and masaya para sa lahat….. getz?
