The piece was titled Para Sa Dalawang Dekada (For the Two Decades) and looked back at the two decades the actress spent with the network. She prefaced the poem by saying that it wasn’t an insinuation, complaint, nor criticism (parinig, reklamo, pagpuna).

The two and a half minute long video talked about the highs and lows she’s experienced in her acting career. She talked about how she didn’t grow up with a complete family, but the network was always there for her.

The actress also raised the question, “Sino nga ba ako (Who am I, really)?” With this, she got to know herself with the characters she played, referencing Basha from One More Chance and Bobbie from Four Sisters and a Wedding. But among the things that she isn’t sure of, she is sure that she is a Kapamilya.
