'Grateful for this blessing': Richard Gutierrez renews ABS-CBN contract, to star in new action series
MANILA, Philippines — Actor Richard Gutierrez renewed his contract with ABS-CBN.
Present at the contract signing were ABS-CBN chairman Mark Lopez, president and CEO Carlo Katigbak, COO of Broadcast Cory Vidanes, ABS-CBN head of TV Production and Star Magic head Laurenti Dyogi and ABS-CBN head of finance Rick Tan.
"I don't know where to begin to be honest. It's such a big moment and I'm just very happy to be here right now. I am very thankful and grateful for this blessing. I am happy to be a Kapamilya for many years to come," Richard said.
He thanked all of the Kapamilyas all over the world for supporting him.
"I would like to thank first and foremost the Kapamilyas all over the world. If it's not for you we won't be here right now. Salamat sa mga taong sumusuporta sa akin, sa Kapamilya network. Ginagawa po namin ito para sa inyo. Gusto ko rin siyempre pasalamatan ang lahat ng mga nakatrabaho ko from all the directors, producers, writers, co-actors and everyone sa lahat ng production na nakatrabaho ko -- maraming-maraming salamat. Dahil sa inyo narating ko kung nasaan man ako ngayon. And of course I would like to thank ABS-CBN for giving me this opportunity, for trusting me once again. I would like to thank all the bosses here with me today, thank you," he said.
"I am very excited to be extending my contract with the network and of course Star Magic under Star Magic Philippines. I am honored and proud to be here. I would like to thank my family for the constant support and love of course headed by my mom (Annabelle Rama) right here," he added.
Richard's hit teleserye "Iron Heart" just concluded last week. He said that he will just rest for a while and will do an action teleserye again in January.
"I am ready to work after a few weeks. We have a couple of things lined up. For the teleserye, I think first quarter of next year. I think that's enough time for preparation, for planning, kasi ang hirap tapatan ng 'The Iron Heart,'" he said.
"To be honest kailangan naming mag-isip ng panibagong konsepto, magandang konsepto at kung paano namin iaangat pa 'yung level from the 'Iron Heart' in terms of action, in terms of storytelling, locations. So kailangan talaga ng matinding planning, so first quarter of next year is just the right time," he added.
Richard first signed a contract with ABS-CBN in 2018.
