Claudine Barretto-Santiago signed a two-year exclusive contract with GMA-7 last November 25, 2009. The newest Kapuso star was welcomed by the Kapuso Network’s officials and announced that they have lined up exciting projects for her.

Present in the contract signing were Viva Senior Vice President Veronique del Rosario-Corpus; GMA Network Senior Vice President for Entertainment Wilma Galvante; President, Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe Gozon; Executive Vice-President and COO Gilberto Duavit, Jr.; and Claudine’s parents Mr. and Mrs. Mike Barretto.

Earlier today, November 27, Bayani Agbayani signed a two-year exclusive contract with GMA Network. He returns as a Kapuso where he started his showbiz life as a production staff for the noontime show Lunch Date.

Present in the contract signing were Noel Ferrer, Bayani’s new manager; GMA Assistant Vice President for Magazines/ Musicals/ Variety and Specials Darling de Jesus; and Senior Vice President for Entertainment Wilma Galvante. The comedian used to be handled by Cornelia Lee (more popularly known as Tita Angge).

Noel informed PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) that his ward is “a talented performer who deserves this new break from his original home GMA-7. What’s good is that he will be able to share his clean brand of fun on TV, on film and in music once again.”

Incidentally, Noel has worked with Bayani as executive producer of the Sharon show and the ABS-CBN morning show Magandang Umaga Pilipinas.

In a previous article published in PEP, it states that Bayani will co-host a daily musical variety game show titled Bigay Todo and he will be part of the early primetime series First Luv.
