Television host-actress Valerie Concepcion shot down speculations that she is harboring ill-feelings toward ABS-CBN.
According to rumors, she took it against the network's management when they did not tap her to join its newest noontime show, “Happy Yipee Yehey!"
Concepcion vehemently denied the issue.
"Wala, wala namang ganoon. Ako naman masaya ako kasi may work din namang dumarating, may mga blessings pa rin,” Concepcion told ABS-CBN News.
During the Posh Nails event on Tuesday, Concepcion added that she fully respects the management’s decision.
“Wala namang sama ng loob, wala talaga. Ever since, alam ko na hindi ako kasama sa bagong noontime. They wanted me either on a morning show or soap so I already know noong nawala ‘yong ‘[Pilipinas] Win na Win’ na hindi ako sa noontime,” she explained.
The 23-year-old actress hosted the defunct noontime shows “Wowowee” and “Pilipinas Win na Win.”
She is now seen on rival network TV5. When asked about her supposed transfer, Concepcion quickly clarified: “Freelancer naman talaga ako ever since [sa ABS-CBN]. Per program ang contract ako. Pero hindi ko po iiwan ang ABS at hindi rin naman po ako magiging exclusive sa TV 5.”
She also assured her fans that she will still appear on ABS-CBN.
“Kung makikita ninyo man po ako sa TV 5, puwede ninyo pa rin akong makita sa ABS. Hindi kayo dapat mag-worry... Huwag silang malungkot kasi pwede pa rin naman akong lumabas sa ABS,” she said.
Celebrating V-day
Meanwhile, Concepcion revealed that she will spend her Valentine’s Day in Singapore.
And who is Concepcion’s lucky date? “Si Fiona [‘yong daughter ko] at ‘yong family ko,” she said.
Concepcion divulged that she and her boyfriend, cager Dondon Hontiveros, had an advance Valentine date in Bohol.
“He’s planning to go to Singapore with his family but the practice starts at 14th. So hindi talaga kami magkasama ng Valentine’s. We went for daytrip in Bohol. Na-enjoy ko ang bakasyon. Daytrip lang kasi bawal akong mag-overnight,” she said.
When asked if she is set to tie the knot with Hontiveros, Concepcion replied: “No. Si Lord lang ang nakakaalam. Kung siya na ang gusto ni Lord, masaya ako, pero kung hindi pa, okay lang din. I really believe si God naman has plans for us so hope for the best. Basta sa ngayon, masaya tayo, enjoy lang natin ang company ng isa't isa. I’m not in a rush to get married. I’m only 23, [kaya] enjoy-enjoy lang.”
