In her interview with TV Patrol, Kris revealed that she is tendering her resignation from ABS-CBN and that she is quitting her shows. The decision came after her issue with ex-husband James Yap which became a hot topic recently.
"I’m stating this now categorically, I have to make a sacrifice. They don’t deserve this, my family doesn’t deserve this suffering. I don’t want to be selfish for the rest of my life. Humihingi ako ng paumanhin lalong-lalo na sa lahat ng katrabaho ko na nandito ngayon pero sana maunawaan ninyo ako, I have to do what’s best for my son and that means sacrificing this career, sacrificing this job," Kris told Ted Failon in her TV Patrol interview.
"I’m giving up my shows. Hindi ko sinasabi 'yan just so that I can say na I’m the one making the bigger sacrifice. Tinatalikuran ko ang mundo na kinilala ko na bumuhay sa akin dahil higit doon sa karera ko, mas mahal ko ang anak ko. I am tendering my resignation!"
