The Philippine entertainment industry has just been shocked by the news that **Robin Padilla and Vina Morales** have officially **left ABS-CBN**! This is even more shocking when there are rumors that **Sharon Cuneta** will also follow suit, saying goodbye to the television station that has been with her for many years.
According to an inside source, **Robin Padilla and Vina Morales** have decided not to continue working with ABS-CBN due to **disagreements in career direction**. Some people believe that **Robin Padilla**, who is currently active in politics, may have faced **pressure from many sides**, forcing him to consider leaving the television station that was the launching pad for his career.
As for **Vina Morales**, the singer-actress is also said to be pursuing new projects, no longer wanting to be tied to a single station. Some sources also confirmed that **Vina has received an offer from GMA Network**, but she has yet to confirm this.
If the news of Robin and Vina leaving ABS-CBN was shocking, the rumor about **Sharon Cuneta** shocked fans even more. **Sharon has repeatedly expressed her dissatisfaction with the way ABS-CBN treated the veteran artist**, and has shared cryptic messages on social media about “turning to a new direction”.
In a recent post, the diva wrote:
*”Sometimes, you have to leave to find yourself and have a better future.”*
This statement has raised many questions, is this a sign that Sharon Cuneta will **leave ABS-CBN** after decades of association?
The departure of **big names like Robin Padilla, Vina Morales and possibly Sharon Cuneta** will have a significant impact on ABS-CBN, especially as the network has been struggling since losing its **broadcasting license in 2020**.
Is this the **end of ABS-CBN’s golden age** as more and more artists leave? **Could GMA Network and TV5 be the new destinations for these veteran artists?**
‘Everything is easy’: Robin Padilla thanks Sharon Cuneta for welcoming him despite political differences
Action star and senator-elect Robin Padilla expressed his gratitude to his former reel and real-life partner Sharon Cuneta for welcoming him to her concert over the weekend, despite their political differences as seen in the recent national elections.
Padilla, who is allied with incoming president Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. and incoming vice president Sara Duterte, emerged as the No. 1 senator in May; while Cuneta, the wife of defeated vice-presidential candidate Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, was among the most visible celebrities who campaigned for the lawmaker and outgoing vice president Leni Robredo.
Padilla and Cuneta were once a couple in the early ’90s, aside from being paired in movies. In 2017, they reunited on the big screen with the romcom film “Unexpectedly Yours,” co-starring Joshua Garcia and Julia Barretto.
Padilla, who is now married to former TV host Mariel Rodriguez, was among those who attended Cuneta’s “Iconic” concert with Regine Velasquez last Friday. He was accompanied by former presidential legal counsel Sal Panelo, whom Cuneta had called out in March for singing one of her songs during a campaign event for Duterte. As seen in photos and videos shared by Padilla on Facebook, Cuneta greeted them both warmly, apparently putting aside their political conflict.
Quoting the Bible, Padilla wrote, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
He went on to thank Cuneta for taking the time to speak with him and Panelo, and paying tribute to her and Velasquez — who also happens to be Padilla’s former screen partner.
Padilla wrote, unedited: “Manaming Maraming salamat po kambal mam Sharon Cuneta- Pangilinan sa pagsalaman sa Amin ni secretary idol Salvador ‘Sal Panalo’ Panelo sa inyong magkaganda concert ni ms regine Velasquez- Alcasid which gave us So many colorful memories of beauty and joy that in every song you sang, sec sal panelo panalo and I were able to join together.
“Napamak ng pagsila na ang magayang na ang lang… Your message is so beautiful regarding the end of the elections and it is time for us all to unite and work together for the good of the Motherland Philippines… Bagay na bagay ang kulay nating dalawa sa rawan na ito sa diwa ng uniteam.”
In the photos taken after the concert, Padilla is seen wearing a green jacket, while Cuneta had on her finale-number red gown — coincidentally the campaign colors of Marcos and Duterte.
