Three years ago, actor Rayver Cruz signed with GMA Network and its talent management arm, Artist Center, to explore other facets of his career, tackle onscreen roles that he hasn’t done before, and rediscover his other abilities as a well-rounded talent.
Speaking to Manila Standard Entertainment right after he signed a contract with his new mother network, the then 29-year-old actor talked about his plans as new Kapuso. He also shared with us his expectations of working in a different home studio.
Fast-forward to today, Rayver is positive that all his expectations have been met giving him another big reason to renew his ties with the network.
“The network exceeded my expectations. They showered me with projects since I rejoined GMA,” Rayver told the author.
“I’m thankful that up to now tuloy tuloy ang projects ko with them and they entrusted me with big, important assignments,” he added.
In the past three years of being with GMA, Rayver felt how the network was able to unleash his other capabilities. He considers his being a host in numerous programs and shows has helped him develop the skill and confidence talking in front of the camera.
“I really didn’t expect that I could be a good host. Ang galing lang ng GMA kasi nang nakita nila pwede kong gawin yun, they capitalized on that and made sure that I would be trained to be a good host,” he admitted.
“I can say that I’m already confident being a host. I know I could do it before but I had doubts. GMA helped me become better on this skill.”
Since joining GMA in 2018, Rayver has been part of shows such as Asawa Ko, Karibal Ko, Hanggang sa Dulo ng Buhay Ko, All-Out Sundays, and The Clash.
