“GMA, you gave me a home, a platform, and the space to keep growing. Hindi niyo lang ako tinulungan as an artist—you remind me of what else I’m capable of. To my NYMA family—thank you for being here, for guiding me, and for pushing me to explore new spaces. Thank you for showing the world the other side of me. The funnier side, the lighter side, the more human side. You’ve helped me connect with a whole new generation. And of course, to my wife, Kat—thank you for being my constant through it all. To our media partners and members of the press—maraming salamat sa inyong walang sawang suporta. Thank you for helping amplify my milestones, for keeping my journey visible and relevant, and for sharing my story with the world. I truly appreciate all the time, effort, and space you’ve given me through the years. o my CFs and everyone who’s supported me from the very beginning, thank you for growing with me.” ~Christian Bautista, Asia's Romantic Balladeer
As a devoted Kapuso, Asia's Romantic Balladeer—award-winning singer, multi-platinum artist, actor, and host—reaffirms his relationship with GMA Network by renewing his contract.
Christian formally signed a contract renewal at Studio 6, GMA Network Center, on May 6, 2025, after more than ten years of steadfast devotion since becoming a member of the Kapuso family in 2013.
Present at the signing were top GMA Network executives: President and CEO Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr., Executive Vice President and CFO Felipe S. Yalong, and Officer-in-Charge for the Entertainment Group and Vice President for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy.
NYMA's Chief Operating Officer and Christian's business partner and wife, Kat Ramnani-Bautista, are both attending the event as part of his management team. Their attendance demonstrated the robust network of support that has contributed to Christian's success.
Several other GMA officers were also present to support the contract signing, including First Vice President and Head of International Operations, Mr. Joseph T. Francia; Vice President for Comedy, Infotainment, Game, and Reality Productions, Ms. Janine Piad-Nacar; Vice President for Musical, Variety, Specials, and Alternative Productions, Ms. Gigi Santiago-Lara; and Consultant for the Entertainment Group, Ms. Darling de Jesus-Bodegon.
“As his business partner and wife, I couldn’t be more proud of the longevity of his career, and he continues to prove that he still has so much more to offer. We’re truly grateful to GMA for giving him the space to grow and the platform to share his artistry. For us at NYMA, it’s both an honor and a privilege to be working alongside a network that has supported him for over a decade. We deeply appreciate the trust and look forward to continuing this meaningful partnership.” ~Kat Bautista, Christian’s Manager, Business Partner, and Wife
Christian has long established himself as one of GMA’s most versatile and beloved artists—from being a firm yet inspiring coach on The Clash to delivering standout performances every Sunday on All-Out Sundays.
Beyond local stages, he continues to expand his pan-Asian presence through music and digital collaborations. Just recently, he was recognized as one of the 100 Most Influential Filipinos in the World by The Outstanding Filipinos in America—an award he will be receiving this October in Las Vegas.
To cap off the event, Christian serenaded the crowd with one of his timeless hits, The Way You Look at Me, as a heartfelt tribute to GMA Network and all attendees.
Congratulations, Kapuso! Congratulations, Christian Bautista!
