Is Angelica Panganiban Sore That Derek Ramsay Left Her At Abs-Cbn And Moved To Tv5?

IS IT TRUE that Angelica Panganiban disapproved of Derek Ramsay’s transfer to TV5? “No, she’s very supportive,” says Derek when he was formally presented by the Kapatid Network to the press at EDSA Shangrila Plaza. “Kaya lang, I was in Australia when the report that I’ve signed up with TV5 came out at hindi ko agad nasabi sa kanya. When someone interviewed her about it, nagulat siya. Sabi niya sa’kin, nakakaloka ka, di mo nasabi sa’kin na pumirma ka na pala. Angel and I have separate careers, so it’s also not true na lilipat na rin siya.” Read, Angelica Panganiban gave her blessings to Derek Ramsay when he moved to TV5.

TV5 CEO Ray Espinosa says it’s not true either they’re paying him P600 million for signing up a 3-year contract with them. “His contract is much less than that,” he says. “So it’s not true that pera-pera lang lahat.”

“And it’s also not true that we got him after the success of his movies last year,” says TV5 Creative head Perci Intalan. “We first made an offer to him two years ago pa.”

“But I told them, I don’t move my talents,” says Derek’s manager, Jojie Dingcong. “Then Derek became an endorser of Smart and he told me TV5 has a new offer so I met with them. Both them and ABS have their own offer sheets and we studied them. It was a long process to assess them well. In the end, the offer of TV5 for him to sports oriented shows like ‘Amazing Race’ and hosting the London Olympics primer became the big clincher.”

“It’s a hard decision for me, but I’m really wired on sports,” adds Derek. “It’s my passion and I can’t turn my back on that. Hilig ko talaga ang sports and travelling, and TV5 gave me that. I’m looking forward to going to London to see my relatives there and I’ll bring Angel along for her to see where I grew up and studied. I’m also looking forward to meeting all the best athletes in the world.”

His photos with Zac Efron came out on the internet. “Yes, I was playing golf in Sydney and he was there. He was the one who approached me and said ‘I think I know you, you look familiar’. And I said, ‘No, you’re the ONE who looks familiar’. Ang dami niyang bodyguards.”

And someone quips “Baka type ka niya”, making Derek laugh.
