Tina Paner, one of the products of That’s Entertainment, expressed glee over her recent signing with GMA Artist Center. The decision felt right because the Kapuso network was her first home anyway.
“Sa akin naman kasi, I was GMA before nung ginawa namin yung That’s Entertainment. So sabi ko, wala namang masama kung sa edad ko ngayon, dito ako sa GMA kasi kung saan ako nag-tart, siguro puwede namang dito ako mag-end,” she said.
The 45-year-old singer-actress also associates the network with trust and credibility.
“Syempre, subok na. Kapag sinabi mong GMA, alam mong nandyan sila to support you at ibigay 'yung para sa ‘yo. Sabi nila, para ka daw nakasandal sa pader kasi stable na siya,” she added.
The degree of comfort she feels couldn’t be matched because it’s like coming full circle.
“Hindi [ako] dapat matakot. Dapat nga eh matuwa [pa ako] kasi nandito [ako] sa isang home studio na sinimulan [ko],” she shared.
Loyalty is also one of the most salient lessons she picked up from the late German Moreno.
“Lagi ngang sinasabi ni Kuya Germs 'yan – na 'yung loyalty, kailangan dapat hindi mawawala. Saka wala namang masama kung magtanaw ka ng utang na loob kung saan ka nagsimula,” she concluded.
One of her first projects on her return to the network was a Playlist performance. She’s also set to reunite with the Triplets on upcoming GMA Telebabad show Meant To Be.
