Ian Batherson to Transfer to ABS-CBN, New Kapamilya Hunk

Ian Batherson transfers to ABS-CBNStarstruck alumnus Ian Batherson is said to be transferring to the Kapamilya network. The Cosmo bachelor (who is one of this year's centerfold hunks) has been talking lately about the big shift in his career, and that is moving from GMA-7 to rival ABS-CBN.

Following one meaningful tweet late August, Ian said that he made a few "tactical adjustments" in his career after waiting for so long. Ian Batherson's only notable project in GMA-7 after Starstruck V was the afternoon soap Sisid following a stint in another reality show,  Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown. Ian has been visible though in several TV commercials like Close Up and Charmee with Sarah Geronimo. 

Ian Batherson soon to be a Kapamilya"Got more things coming up in my career MALAKING changes. Makikita mo ko sa big screen soon. ;) work hard play hard ppl," expressed Ian in one of his tweets early September, implying that a new movie project is coming his way.

Ian Batherson also confirmed that he do have a meeting with ABS-CBN last September 8 and that he had a huge appointment in a TV station. 

Ian Batherson's transfer to ABS-CBN (although there's no official confirmation yet) will be the nth time that  a product of GMA-7's artista search Starstruck decided to switch networks. If the deal pushes through, Ian will be following Johan Santos, his batch mate Piero Vergara, the late Tyron Perez, Paul Salas (Starstruck Kids), Jewel Mische, Megan Young, Cristine Reyes and Paulo Avelino as Starstruck alumni who transferred to ABS-CBN.

We can't blame Ian, if he chose to leave his mother studio for greener pastures. Just look at Megan, Jewel, Cristine and Paulo and how their respective careers flourished with ABS-CBN. With this move, we might see Ian bigger than his batch mates Enzo Pineda, Rocco Nacino, and winners Sarah Lahbati and Steven Silva.
