Supreme Idol Daniel Padilla marked another milestone in his career as he inked a new contract with ABS-CBN, embarking on a fresh journey filled with new and exciting projects that will showcase his multifaceted talent as an actor, singer, and performer.

During his special “Forever Kapamilya” contract signing, Daniel expressed his gratitude to ABS-CBN executives, industry mentors, co-workers, brand partners, family, friends, fans, and the people who have been instrumental in his career and personal growth.

ABS-CBN president and CEO Carlo Katigbak gave a meaningful message to Daniel saying, “When we lost our franchise may tinext ka sa akin, ‘salamat po sa pakikipaglaban, nagawa niyo na ho ang lahat. Ngayon ang Diyos na po ang bahala.’ So Deej, ibabalik ko sa’yo ang message mo sa akin. Masipag kang tao, isang artistang magaling, at isang anak na nagmamahal sa kanyang pamilya. Gawin mo lahat to be the best version of you and then Diyos na ang bahala. I’m sure you will achieve bigger and better successes and you will become what God has destined you to be.”

ABS-CBN COO for Broadcast Cory Vidanes also thanked Daniel for his loyalty to ABS-CBN over the past 15 years and commended the actor.

“We are forever grateful that we have a Daniel Padilla as a Kapamilya and we will forever be your Kapamilya. Supremo but grounded, supremo but generous, supremo but compassionate. Mahal ka namin, DJ,” she said.
