Ogie Alcasid is now a Kapatid

Singer-composer Ogie Alcasid is now officially with TV5 after he signed a contract with the No. 3 network on Tuesday.

In his official Instagram account, Alcasid posted a photo of him with caption: "thank you for the warm welcome tv5."

Earlier on Tuesday, Alcasid even asked for prayers as he is set to open a new chapter in his career.

"My friends, I humbly ask you for a prayer as is sign with tv5 this afternoon. Kayo naman lagi ang nariyan and once again I ask 4 yr support," Alcasid said.

"This new chapter will be full of challenges and i owe it to all of you to do my very best with God as my beacon and guide. Salamat, kapatid," he added.

Alcasid, who has been with GMA-7 for 18 years, reportedly met with GMA executives in June to inform them about his decision to leave the network.

In a statement released last month, GMA Network confirmed the report.

"As Ogie Alcasid moves on to explore new grounds, GMA Network, his home for almost two decades, wishes him all the best. We thank him for being a part of the Network's success all these years," the network said.

"His achievements as a singer, songwriter, comedian, host and actor make Ogie the icon that he is now. And the Kapuso Network is proud to have been with him throughout this journey," it added.
