Talagang naging emotional nga ako noong pumasok ako sa basement at umakyat ng second floor at pumunta sa dressing room,” he narrated.</p><p>“Sabi ko, ‘Akala ko talaga, hindi na ako makakapasok dito, e.’”</p><p>Guidicelli, 30, made his showbiz debut in 2006 under ABS-CBN’s talent agency Star Magic. In 2019, he departed the management firm and signed a contract with Viva Artists Agency.</p><p>His last major project with ABS-CBN was in 2018, as one of the lead stars of the fantaserye “Bagani.”</p><p>“I’m very, very thankful to Toni Gonzaga for inviting me to co-host with her,” he said of his first ABS-CBN stint in two years.</p><p>“It’s very nice. It’s nice because nakita ko ‘yung ibang mga taga-production, na ang tagal naming hindi nagkita. Kaso lang, kaunti na sila.”</p><p>Guidicelli was referring to the back-to-back crises that beset ABS-CBN this year: its forced broadcast shutdown, which resulted in the retrenchment out thousands of employees; on top of the coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>Mentioning the exodus of retrenched workers to TV5, where Guidicelli has ongoing programs, he added, “Puro ABS-CBN naman doon, e. Masaya pa rin naman. We still see the same faces.”</p><p>“At the end of the day, the world is round, and we’re all going to see each other again.”</p><div><strong>Related videos:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-BUufUDjmWU?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s9hSVuh5I5Y?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
