ACTRESS Sanya Lopez renewed her ties with GMA Artist Center last July 29.
The 25-year-old star is now a household name through her notable roles in various projects, including the hit “First Yaya,” where she won the hearts of Filipino viewers as the adorable Yaya Melody and “Agimat ng Agila” where she starred opposite Sen. Bong Revilla.
“I’m very, very happy. I didn’t expect na mangyayari ang lahat ng ito. Ang gusto ko lang noon ay basta may trabaho lang. Kahit hindi ako maging bida kasi alam ko naman kung gaano kahirap makapasok sa showbiz. Pero God gave me more than what I prayed for,” she said.
In addition, she promised her fans and her home network that she will remain grounded and will continue to give her all in her every project. “Kung sino si Sanya noon ay same Sanya pa rin ang makikita nila ngayon na masayahin at patuloy na magpapasaya sa lahat ng mga sumusuporta sa kanya. Sa GMA, lagi kayong nakatatak dito sa puso ko dahil kayo ang nagbigay ng malaking break sa akin dito sa showbiz. Mahal na mahal ko kayo.”
Present during the virtual signing ceremony were GMA Executive Vice President and CFO Felipe S. Yalong, GMA Films, Inc. President and Programming Consultant to the Chairman and CEO Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, Senior Vice President for GMA Entertainment Group Lilybeth G. Rasonable, First Vice President and Head of Regional TV and Synergy Oliver B. Amoroso, First Vice President For Drama Productions Redgie A. Magno, Vice President for Corporate Affairs and Communications Angel Javier Cruz, Senior Assistant Vice President for Alternative Productions Gigi Santiago-Lara, Senior Assistant Vice President for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy, GMA Artist Center Assistant Vice President and Head for Talent Imaging and Marketing Unit Simoun Ferrer, GMA Artist Center Consultant Johnny Manahan, GMA Artist Center Senior Talent Manager Tracy Garcia, and Sanya’s co-manager Frank Mallari.
Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon said: “Ako’y nagagalak na napili ni Sanya na manatili sa Kapuso Network sapagka’t siya ay isang homegrown artist at habang tumatagal ay lalong gumagaling. Sa napanood kong ‘First Yaya,’ napatunayan din niya na siya ay isang versatile artist kaya sa tingin ko, malayo pa ang mararating ni Sanya sa larangan ng pag-aartista.”
