MANILA, Philippines – Making the big switch from Kapamilya to Kapatid is actor Aga Muhlach.
The multi-awarded actor finally confirmed his long-rumored transfer to TV5 in a press conference on March 30 where he said that he has signed a non-exclusive three-year contract with the ever-expanding network.
According to Muhlach, the decision to transfer was hinged on his eagerness to accomplish "more" in his decade-spanning show business career, a goal, which he said, TV5 supports.

“Ang plano sa akin ng TV5 marami talaga,” says he in an interview with “Balitang Tapat.”
Perci Intalan, TV5 Creative and Entertainment Production head, affirmed Muhlach's statement in a separate interview with Philippine Star.
“We have great plans for him. We’re planning to do a series for him, give him a hosting job for a game show, and another program that’s totally different from what he [usually] does,” he said.
Muhlach is very much excited with the prospect of having to stretch his capabilities from actor to all-around entertainer.
“Andiyan ‘yung nervousness, excitement but really I’m just so happy,” he said in the same "Balitang Tapat" report.
He said that Charlene Gonzales, his wife and one of the hosts of ABS-CBN’s “The Buzz,” approved of the transfer.
“My wife is just as excited as I am,” he said adding seemingly in jest, “Sabi ko nga sa kanya, ‘lika na.'"
In a separate interview with PEP, Muhlach admitted that ABS-CBN President Charo Santos Concio cried when he confirmed the transfer.
Prior to the switch, Muhlach did a slew of TV shows for the Kapamilya network including “Oki Doki Doc,” “Da Body en da Guard,” “Da Pilya en da Pilot,” “OK Fine Whatever,” among others.
He also did several movie projects under ABS-CBN's movie arm, Star Cinema.
In the "Balitang Tapat" report, Intalan hinted that their acquisition of Muhlach is just one of many to follow.
“Marami tayong wini-welcome at tinataya natin ito based on dun sa kung ano ang kaya nilang gawin,” he said.
