Celeste Cortesi, Isko Moreno join Sparkle


GMA has recently welcomed two new additions to their growing family: Beauty queen Celeste Cortesi and actor-politician-show host Isko Moreno.

The two expressed their thoughts about it in separate social media posts.

According to the Miss Universe Philippines 2022 titleholder, she's "happy" and "grateful" to finally call GMA her "home."

She then thanked Kapuso bosses Annette Gozon-Valdes, Joy Romina Marcelo, and Tracy Garcia for the "trust."

Celeste also expressed gratitude to her manager, Ranvel Rufino.

"I’m excited for what’s to come. Proud to be kapuso," she declared.

As for Isko, he couldn't help but get emotional coming home.

He wrote on Facebook: "Sa bawat nagsasarang pinto may bintana na laging nagbubukas. Ngayong araw, isang bagong yugto ng kabanata na naman ang aking binuksan."

"Hindi kaila sa lahat na bago ako makilala, pumasok sa mundo ng serbisyo publiko, at pagkatiwalaan ng taumbayan. Showbiz ang aking naging hagdanan at daan para makaahon sa kasadlakan ng aming buhay noon," he added.

"Ito ay sa pamamagitan ni Kuya Germs sa That's Entertainment at GMA Supershow. Kaya It's good to be home... where I started and start over again. Masaya akong magbalik sa aking first love bilang ta-artits dahil malaki ang utang na loob ko sa industriyang ito."

"Maraming salamat sa muling pagbubukas ng pintuan, GMA-7 Kapuso!"
