Still living the dream: Kapuso actress Andrea Torres renews contract with GMA Network

As she continues her journey as a Kapuso, Andrea is humbled and excited, “I’ve been doing this for years already but there are still times when I can’t believe it’s all happening. The struggles are still very clear to me. They remind me of how much I wanted this and so I’m always grateful. This is my #1 dream and I just want to relish each moment and make sure I pour my heart out into every opportunity because it wasn’t an easy climb for me. But it sure is worth it. GMA is taking great care of me on and off cam. I’m constantly challenged with my roles and projects and I am just always excited.”

In her many years in the industry, she still aims to inspire through her craft, “I’m very conscious of the energy I give to people. We spend so much time at work so it’s nice to be that ray of sunshine who is fun to be around and easy to deal with.”

Present during the virtual signing ceremony were GMA Executive Vice President and CFO Felipe S. Yalong, GMA Films, Inc. President and Programming Consultant to the Chairman and CEO Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, Senior Vice President for Entertainment Group Lilybeth G. Rasonable, First Vice President and Head of Regional TV and Synergy Oliver B.

GMA Network Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon is proud to have someone like Andrea in the Kapuso Station, “We are happy that you remain a loyal Kapuso. Rest assured, that we will take good care of your career and provide opportunities for your development. We are proud to have you in GMA.”

Mr. Yalong also expressed his gladness to see Andrea stay in GMA, “We are delighted to renew Andrea's contract with GMA Network. I'm sure the Filipino viewers, even abroad, will be happy that they will continue to see her as a Kapuso in the coming years.”

Atty. Gozon-Valdes shared her admiration for Andrea as well, “I've seen you grow so much as an actress these past few years. I'm very happy that you're a Kapuso and I'm so excited to see your new show, Legal Wives. Congratulations.”

Likewise, Rasonable echoed her excitement for what’s ahead of Andrea’s career path in the Network,  “Congratulations, Ada. I am so excited to watch you in Legal Wives. It's going to be a big project and something that we can all be proud of. I'm so proud of you for how you have grown over the years and as your father has said, GMA is your home away from home. And that’s how we will forever be to you. So again, congratulations, and we are so proud that you are still a Kapuso.”

Finally, Santiago-Lara mentioned that she looks forward to Andrea’s future as a Kapuso, “She’s hardworking and very professional as I’m sure many of the producers here can attest to so we here in GMA and GMA Artist Center are very happy to continue working with her for many more years to come. Congratulations, Andrea!”

GCash cautions against gambling apps used for phishing

A recent investigation by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and the leading mobile wallet GCash, has led to the discovery of certain gambling sites and apps which were used for account takeovers in the recent surge of phishing scams. Additionally, some influencers may have unknowingly promoted these gaming apps without being aware of their fraudulent nature. GCash is now cautioning its users to be extremely careful when accessing online gambling sites and apps, and to avoid them altogether if possible. In this latest scheme, perpetrators created gambling apps while falsely claiming to be accredited by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). These apps deceive users with a verification process, redirecting them to a fake GCash website or payment page to top up betting credits. From there, fraudsters were able to access sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, GCash numbers, MPINs, OTPs, and other personal data that can be exploited to gain unau...
