Sisirain na naman ng ABS-CBN, tatawagin na walang utang na loob...

MANILA, Philippines— Heart Evangelista has switched channels Wednesday, signing a two-year exclusive contract with GMA-7.

Accompanied by her parents and surrounded by GMA-7 executives, Heart formally announced that she’s making the big move to the Kapuso network in a press conference at the GMA Network executive offices in Quezon City.

Although she had severed ties with ABS-CBN’s talent arm Star Magic long before Wednesday’s signing, Heart was still one of the Lopez network’s marquee stars even without an exclusive arrangement.

With the exclusive GMA-7 contract, Heart leaves the network that made her one of the country’s most popular young stars. GMA-7 and ABS-CBN, the leading Philippine television networks, traditionally sign top artists on exclusive contracts that specifically forbid them to appear or be cast in each other’s rival shows.

Heart’s first Kapuso project is “Asero,” an upcoming prime time GMA-7 offering where she will star opposite Richard Gutierrez and Ehra Madrigal.

Rumors of Heart’s transfer have been circulating for over a year now, but the deal was finally sealed when the singer-actress left her former management company Genesis.
