Kim, ‘di na napipilit sa pulitika!
Nanatiling Kapuso si Kim Atienza.
Talagang hindi napilit mag-pulitika si Kuya Kim kahit pa nga nagkaedad ang kanyang amang si Lito Atienza sa pagiging public servant na nominee ngayon sa Buhay Partylist.
Pumirma nga ulit ang versatile host at favorite trivia man ng panibagong kontrata sa GMA Network noong Dec. 2.
In 2021, Kuya Kim – through GMA Public Affairs – joined GMA Network.
Kilalang Philippine Trivia King, Kuya Kim shows a different side of himself in his latest public affairs show, Dami Mong Alam, Kuya Kim, airing Saturdays on GMA Network at 10:45 a.m.
At dito, Kuya Kim combines humor, relatability, and expertise, delivering trivia and insights kaya iba aniya ito sa mga ginagawa niya – blending entertainment with mind-expanding trivia.
“Being on GMA 7 gave me the privilege and honor to be in something that I truly love and I’m passionate about,” he shares.
And Kuya Kim only has words of gratitude for his home network, loyal fans, and fellow Kapuso.
“To the Kapuso bosses, thank you very much for taking me in. Thank you very much for taking care of me. Thank you very much for optimizing whatever talent I’m capable of giving. I’m honored and very appreciative of the trust that you give me.
“Sa mga fans naman, magpatuloy po sana ang kanilang suporta. Bilang Kapuso, I will do my best to constantly reinvent myself and put in more passion so that I may fulfill this vocation that God has given me.
“Sa mga Kapuso colleagues ko na nakatrabaho ko sa apat na shows, napakasarap ninyong kasama. Ang trabaho kasama ninyo ay hindi trabaho. Whenever I’m with you, I look forward to that working day because to me it’s not work – it’s a spirit of fun, kindness, and family na talagang damang-dama ko,” sabi niya.
Present during the contract signing were GMA Network President and CEO Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr.; Senior Vice President for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide, and Support Group, and President of GMA Films Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes; GMA Public Affairs First Vice President Nessa Valdellon; GMA Integrated News Vice President and Deputy Head for News Programs and Specials Michelle Seva; Consultant for GMA Entertainment Group Darling de Jesus-Bodegon, and Kim Atienza’s manager, Noel Ferrer.
Samantala, kinumpirma nga ni former Manila mayor Lito Atienza na hindi talaga napipilit sa pulitika si Kuya Kim.
Pero ang anak niyang babae, Chi Atienza, ay kakandidato ngayong vice mayor ni Isko Moreno na nagbabalik sa pagmi-mayor.
“I tell you, Isko is a very good politician. Tanungin mo kung ba’t ko alam. Ako rin ang nag-training diyan,” sabay-tawa ni Manong Lito.
Pero ba’t si Manny Pacquiao ang sinuportahan niyang Presidential candidate at hindi si Yorme noong nakaraang eleksyon?
“Tumakbo si Manny Pacquiao. Sinabi ko naman sa kanya (Isko) ‘yun. Sabi ko, “Isko, ikaw ay first-term Mayor. Tatlo ‘yang term mo, tapusin mo na ‘yan. Hinog na hinog ka na after 9 years. Gusto kitang tulungan, pero hindi kita matutulungan kasi tatakbo ‘yung aking tinutulungan.’”
Natanong din siya kung bakit hindi na siya tumakbong Mayor ng Maynila at aniya ay ayaw na raw niya.
“Maraming nagsasabi sa akin, ‘Mayor, tumakboulit kayo, kayo ulit ang mananalo. ‘Yun ang kabako, eh, baka manalo ako,” sabay-tawa ulit niya.
“Hindi ko na kaya ang trabaho ng Mayor,” pag-amin pa niya sa ilang entertainment media na kausap.
Mas gusto raw niya bumalik sa Kongreso with his Buhay Party-List na binuo niya noong 1999.
Si Manong Lito ang first nominee ng nasabing pro-life party list group at kung mananalo sila sa 2025 elections ay pinangako niyang haharangan ang mga anti-life and anti-family bills tulad ng divorce and abortion.
