I also want to thank Sparkle, thank you so much po. Sa GMA Entertainment Group, thank you for allowing me to grow and to all the people I’ve worked with, GMA Synergy even GMA News and sa GMA Pictures din po.”
“Kaya nga tinawag na Kapuso kasi dito, mafi-feel mo ’yung love ng mga tao na nakasuporta sa ’yo, at tumutulong sayo na mag-improve sa craft mo. Dito ko nakita at naramdaman ’yun, with GMA. That’s why I’m forever proud to be a Kapuso (That’s why it’s called Kapuso because you’ll feel the love of the people who support you and help you improve your craft. This is where I saw and felt that),” the Limitless Star added.
Meanwhile, Atty.

At hindi ako nagkakamali, sigurado sa hinaharap, madadagdagan pa ’yan. So, stay the course stay the person you are (And I wasn’t mistaken. For sure, in the future, there will be more).”
Yalong was grateful as Julie Anne continues to stay with GMA, “I would like to extend my thank you to Julie Anne for again trusting GMA Network and Sparkle to continue to manage your career. I’ve seen how Julie Anne grew from a kid to a singer and an actress. No doubt and I think no one can contest that she is also the premiere singing talent of GMA Network.”

Not only with your talent but with who you are, and we can’t wait to see what else you can achieve.”
Rasonable added that the Entertainment Group is ready to provide Julie Anne the platform to continue showing her many talents, “Asahan mo na palaging ang Entertainment Group ay gagawa ng mga proyekto, ng mga palabas na susuporta sa iyo. Makikipag-collaborate with different groups here in the network para lalong mapalago ang iyong career.
