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.”

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.”

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.
