Rhian Ramos radiated happiness as she renewed her contract with GMA Network, her home studio.
“I’m really grateful to the management for their continued trust and support in me all these years,” Rhian said. “It says a lot that the Kapuso didn’t leave me. That’s why it’s called show business because it’s a business. It’s easy to treat someone like a business. But GMA didn’t do that. They treated me like a person who is still learning, who is still growing.”
Rhian opened up about a difficult period in her life when she battled depression, stemming from controversies and challenges in her career. She even considered leaving showbiz but the support of loved ones and experts helped her through the dark times.
“This is why I want to thank GMA. Even when I was struggling, they held on. I feel honored considering my many contract renewals with them. It feels like they trust me and I feel so valued to be here,” she said.
Rhian credited the network for giving her consistent, challenging projects that honed her craft.
“Over the years, they just kept giving me work, very meaningful projects. I was never left without anything to do. There is always something new to learn, always a first time for me,” she said.
Currently, she plays Mitena in the top-rating fantasy series Encantadia Chronicles: Sang-gre, one of the show’s most pivotal characters. “It’s a beautifully written role. Even as a villain, viewers still understand her. I can be the most hated or loved, and it’s all the same to me,” Ramos added.

Meanwhile, Liezel Lopez is enjoying both professional and personal highs. In a recent interview, she confirmed she is in a relationship, though she declined to reveal her partner’s name, noting he is a private person.
Liezel said dating someone outside the entertainment industry gives them privacy and balance. “It’s essential that he understands my job as an actress for our relationship to work,” she said.
She also emphasized the importance of commitment and family values. “For me, it’s very important that he is a good provider and is ready to commit and raise a family,” she said.
The Kapuso actress is also busy with her career, appearing in the hit drama-action series Sanggang Dikit FR, starring Dennis Trillo and Jennylyn Mercado.
