Kapamilya star Shaina Magdayao wants to correct the hot rumor that she is switching home networks from ABS-CBN to GMA.
In a recent interview, the 29-year-old Shaina affirmed her being a solid Kapamilya and even promoted her latest web series, Past, Present, Perfect, which now streams on ABS-CBN’s iWant.
“I’m still in the Kapamilya grounds. Proof is my finished work for iWant. For now, that’s the situation,” she points out.
The rumor came out at a time when the actress was still overwhelmed with her recent attendance to the Cannes Film Festival in France.
“I was part of the Philippine delegation for the movie Ang Hupa helmed by Lav Diaz which made its premiere at Cannes. As of now, I’m still digesting everything so to speak from that once-in-a-lifetime experience. I couldn’t believe I was there,” she says.
“It has never crossed my mind that one day, I would be attending this. Everybody knows how grand and classy Cannes is. Over the years, many of Hollywood’s bigwigs have graced the occasion with their luminous presence. I was given the chance and I thank the Lord for giving me such blessing in my career,” she adds.
At this point, Shaina wants to take things one step at a time. After Past, Present, Perfect, she thinks she’d be doing another series for iWant.
“Actually, according to ABS-CBN, they have lined-up a project for me. I’m still unaware of the details though since I just arrived from Cannes. I just don’t know if it’s still going to push through,” she shares.

It’s been a decade when Pops Fernandez last figured in a romantic relationship. After her break-up with Jomari Yllana in 2009, she remained single until now.
“And I’m not complaining!” she says. “I’m okay with my status even if some say no one’s making my heart happy. Maybe some people don’t understand it. But for women whose long been single, it’s quite easy. They would understand that after a while, they get used to be by themselves.”
The 52-year-old Pops explains that even if she has no love life as of now, it doesn’t mean she’s lonely.
“I may be single but definitely, I’m not lonely! For one, my children are with me. I have lots of friends, too. I can do whatever I want to do at my time. It’s better. There’s no pressure.”
Does she still wait for the right guy to come along?
“If he does, I don’t mind. But for sure, it’s not my priority. I’m a strong fairy-tale believer that if it will happen, I will just meet Mr. Right without me going out of my way to look for him,” states Pops.
