Bernal renews her exclusive contract with GMA Network

Multi-talented actress Kris Bernal remains a loyal Kapuso as she renewed last March 7 her exclusive contract with GMA Network , Inc .
Kris , one of the Network ’ s top leading ladies , was discovered in the fourth season of the realitybased artista search Starstruck . After almost ten years of being a Kapuso , Kris has been blessed with numerous projects that showcased her versatility and talent and the Network is proud to have her as one of its homegrown artists .
She feels grateful for her strong relationship with GMA through the years , “ Eto yung gusto ng puso ko , kung saan ako kumportable , where I feel complete , where I ’ m satisfied and contented . I ’ m very thankful na nandito pa rin ako at binigyan ulit ako ng chance .”
Present in the contractsigning were GMA Films President Annette M . Gozon , GMA Senior Vice President for Entertainment Lilybeth G . Rasonable , GMA Artist Center Assistant Vice President and Head for Talent Imaging and Marketing Unit Simoun Ferrer , and GMAAC Talent Manager Tracy Garcia .
After her commendable portrayal of a woman with learning disability in Little Nanay , GMA once again entrusted Kris with another challenging project as she topbills the remake of the successful TV series Impostora where she will play a dual character .
“ Masaya ako dahil ang gandaganda ng project na binigay nila sa akin , yung Impostora . Dito talaga ako mahahasa , at mag-gogrow . Ito na siguro yung pinakachallenging character para sa akin . Sobrang hirap din nung sa Little Nanay pero at least dun , isa lang ang role ko . Eto kasi sa Impostora , pabago-bago ako , hindi lang sa acting , sa pananamit din , may prosthetics pa ako and iba ’ t-ibang makeup at look .”
Meanwhile , Rasonable has nothing but good words for Kris and she is pleased that Kris continues to affirm her loyalty to GMA , “ Kris started out with our Network , and we ’ re happy all the time kapag ang ating mga naumpisahang artista na naggrow with us , dinevelop natin , ay patuloy na nananatili dito sa Network . Ito ang kanilang tahanan , and we ’ re happy that they continue to be with us .”
The GMA executive further reveals that Kris ’ upcoming project will hone her more as a dramatic actress , “ She ’ s doing a soap now . This is going to be a very challenging soap for her kasi she ’ s playing two starkly different characters so talagang it will be an acting challenge for her . So far , we ’ ve seen the rushes and she ’ s doing excellently .” ●
