Ogie Alcasid officially transfer to TV5

After more than 18 years with GMA network, Ogie Alcasid bids goodbye and will be a Kapatid.

Rumors emerged in the internet months before Ogie left GMA Network that Ogie will be transferring to TV5, and now the rumors turned into facts.

Before his GMA contract expired last June 30, Ogie appeared in “Sunday All Stars”, a new Sunday Noontime show, with his wife Regine Velasquez and some of the stable of jobless talents from the defunct weekly variety show “Party Pilipinas.”

GMA’s longest running gag-show, Bubble Gang, will also let go another mainstay and will bid farewell to Boy Pickup and Boy Basag from the Pick Up Lines Segment, which was one of the popular characters of the show.

It was confirmed by GMA corporate communications consultant which a statement was sent to Yahoo! Philippines OMG!.

“As Ogie Alcasid moves on to explore new grounds, GMA Network, his home for almost two decades, wishes him all the best. We thank him for being a part of the Network’s success all these years,” Butch Said.
