Miguel spoke to GMA Entertainment, and he sounded surprised and grateful. He said he never expected to get this far, calling himself the former kid who used to watch StarStruck.
Hindi ko rin in-expect. 'Yung dating bata lang na nanonood ng StarStruck Season 1.
On the timing of the news, he said:
Napakagandang birthday regalo nito sa akin.
Why does Miguel think he has stayed with GMA?
He shared a very grown up answer. He asked why an employee stays with a company for a long time, then answered his own question:
Bakit ba tumatagal ang isang empleyado sa isang kompanya? Ang sagot ko lang is aligned ang values.
Basically, he stays because his values match the company's.
What is Miguel Tanfelix doing now?
GMA Entertainment mentioned his current project, Taskforce: Firewall. He carries the title Primetime Prince, which is also what his contract signing backdrop said in big letters.
Why this feels so relatable
Most of us have thought about changing jobs at some point. The ones who stay for years usually say the same thing Miguel did: it is about people and values, not just the paycheck. Kapuso fans are also happy because this means more Miguel on their screens.
