GMA Network maintains earlier statement regarding Sarah Lahbati incident

CEBU, Philippines - GMA Network, in its reply to Sarah Lahbati’s latest tweets, maintains that the actress – a homegrown talent developed, trained, and promoted by GMA – has violated its contract with the network.

In the said statement the Kapuso Network said that it is “not going to comment at this time on the other statements of Sarah Lahbati that has no relevance to the violation of her contract with GMA.” It further added that the walk-out incident involving the actress is still being investigated.

This follows a number of tweets posted by Sarah Lahbati on her Twitter account after the Kapuso Network issued a statement on January 3, which was in response to an earlier set of tweets from Sarah Lahbati.

In the earlier GMA statement, the Network pointed out that Sarah Lahbati’s request to take a leave of absence of one month from GMA Network to de-stress and unwind was disapproved because her reasons were vague and due to her pending obligations.

The actress, however, tweeted on the evening of January 2 that she will go to Switzerland despite the disapproval given to her last December.

The Network also mentioned that Sarah Lahbati is under investigation specifically for walking out from a taping, which incurred a substantial increase in the production cost. (FREEMAN)
