Actress Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo puts an end to speculations that she is transferring to another network as she renewed her contract with ABS-CBN this Wednesday (September 11) afternoon.

“Regarding talks about possible offers from the other networks, we were willing to listen. But since I am a Kapamilya, I can’t deny the fact that ABS-CBN will always be my first option,” Juday said after signing a two-year contract.

She also confirmed that she will be hosting the newest Kapamilya game show, “Bet On Your Baby.”

“It’s a reality game show for toddlers with ages two to three and a half years old. I am very excited that from drama, ABS-CBN gave me the chance to host a game show,” she said.

Present during the signing were (L-R) ABS-CBN TV production head Laurenti Dyogi, broadcast head Cory Vidanes, president and CEO Charo Santos-Concio, and talent manager Alfie Lorenzo.

Judy Ann Santos to Transfer Network When Soap Ends? Will it be TV-5 or GMA-7?

Queen of Pinoy Soap Opera Judy Ann Santos is reportedly considering a network switch after the end of her teleserye Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala on ABS-CBN.

According to reports, Judy Ann Santos is now weighing options whether to transfer or not. Judy Ann's manager, Alfie Lorenzo said that they will be attending a dinner-meeting with TV-5 boss Manny V. Pangilinan. There are also talks that Juday and Tito Alfie will also meet with GMA-7 executives.

Judy Ann Santos' contract with ABS-CBN expired last July and the queen is now free to grab any offer from rival networks while ABS-CBN, her home network for two decades, is still drafting a new contract for her to consider.

Rumor has it that Judy Ann Santos' camp felt bad when the network decided to move her comeback teleserye Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala to a later timeslot to give way to Muling Buksan Ang Puso, when it was doing better in TV ratings. This time, the network allegedly wanted to move the show's timeslot again to accommodate Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla's teleserye Got to Believe.

Judy Ann allegedly got offended after executives told her the move and in disappointment, Judy Ann reportedly decided to just end her teleserye the soonest instead of being placed at a later timeslot (fourth in primetime after evening newscast) where there is very limited viewership. 

Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala premiered last June 17 and there are reports that it will air its finale on August 23, two months after it first aired on TV.  

Many netizens feel with Juday because despite being bestowed the title of 'Teleserye Queen,' her series were always cut short and barely last long, with follow up teleserye happening after about 2 years. 

Will Juday finally end her loyalty to ABS-CBN and leave the network? If she decides to do so, where will we see Judy Ann next—TV-5 or GMA-7?
