Kapuso homegrown actress Bianca Umali wrote a touching message for GMA Network Chairman and CEO, Atty. Felipe L. Gozon for his 84th birthday.

On Instagram, Bianca shared some photos of her with her boyfriend Ruru Madrid, and a photo of them together with FLG. These photos were taken during the birthday celebration of FLG last December 9.

“#HappyBirthdayFLG,” she wrote in the first part of her message.

“It's truly an honor for us to witness your dedication and love for what you do. You serve as a great example for all of us in leadership and collaboration with those under your guidance. We will carry forward all the lessons we've learned from you,” she continued.

“Thank you for the inspiring programs that have brought us joy and motivation. We'll continue to use this platform (GMA) to spread inspiration and honor not only in our country but across the world,” she added.

Bianca ended her tribute with, “Once again, happy birthday, Sir, and congratulations on your well-deserved retirement!”

In the said event, FLG declared that beginning January 1, 2024, he will no longer serve as CEO of GMA Network. Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr., President and Chief Operating Officer of GMA, will take over as CEO. FLG will still be the Chairman of the board and an Advisor to the company.

Meanwhile, Bianca is undergoing intense training for her role as Terra in the upcoming Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre. Terra is the new keeper of "Brilyante ng Lupa" and the successor to Sang'gre Danaya in the series.

Her boyfriend, Ruru, is also busy taping for his highly-rated series Black Rider. Ruru is also reportedly preparing for the second season of Lolong.
