Sparkle GMA Artist Center closed the year on a high note — with fresh faces, renewed commitments, and a room filled with hope for what lies ahead.
On December 11, 2025, Sparkle held a contract signing at GMA Network, bringing together new talents and homegrown stars in a celebration of growth, trust, and shared dreams.
Leading the ceremony were GMA Network Senior Vice President for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide, and Support Group, and GMA Films President and CEO Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, alongside Joy Marcelo, First Vice President of Sparkle GMA Artist Center. They were joined by Sparkle’s top executives and talent leaders, all showing full support for the artists who continue to shape the Kapuso legacy.
The event was made even more meaningful with the presence of Kapuso artists and supporters, who welcomed the newest members of the Sparkle family with warm applause and encouragement.
Among those officially signing with Sparkle was Miggs Cuaderno — a multi-awarded actor who began his journey as a child star. Now stepping into more mature and complex roles, Miggs brings depth, versatility, and quiet strength to Sparkle’s growing roster.
Rising Kapuso star Jess Martinez, known from Sanggang Dikit FR, added excitement to the afternoon. Once a social media influencer, she continues her transformation into a full-fledged actress — confident, driven, and ready for bigger roles.
A major highlight of the day was the official welcome of the “Dance Diva” Regine Tolentino. A true multi-hyphenate — actress, dancer, fashion designer, and host — Regine joins Sparkle with the same passion that has inspired audiences for decades. Her artistry and entrepreneurial spirit bring a new kind of sparkle to the family.
The ceremony also marked heartfelt comebacks.
Actress Gwen Zamora returned to the Kapuso Network after stepping away from the spotlight to focus on family life. Now back with renewed passion, she is ready to embrace fresh projects and new chapters. Joining her is Bianca King, who also makes her return after spending recent years abroad. Her homecoming signals an exciting new phase in her career under Sparkle.
Adding youthful energy to the roster is Mr. Chinatown Philippines 2025 Tyronne Tan, who aims to grow his career in modeling, acting, and sports casting — while continuing to inspire as a content creator. Representing the next generation of Kapuso stars is Ms. Chinatown Philippines 2025 and Miss Teen International 2019 3rd Runner-Up Yza Thalia Uy, whose wit, charm, and creative spark shine through her work in hosting and modeling.
The event also celebrated loyalty.
Versatile actor Royce Cabrera reaffirmed his commitment to Sparkle after a strong run of projects across indie, mainstream, and theater — including Widow’s War, SLAY, Start-Up, Fuccbois, Balota, Green Bones, and the stage musical Foxtrot. His range and dedication continue to set him apart.
Actress Thea Tolentino renewed her contract as well, strengthening her place as one of her generation’s most dynamic performers. From Binibining Marikit to Lolong and Mano Po Legacy, her versatility remains undeniable.
Also renewing his ties with Sparkle is Jak Roberto — actor, singer, influencer, and entrepreneur. Fresh from the success of My Father’s Wife, Jak continues to grow both on screen and beyond, connecting with fans through his strong digital presence.
The afternoon ended with smiles, applause, and a shared sense of excitement.
With new collaborations, bold projects, and strengthened partnerships on the horizon, Sparkle GMA Artist Center looks ahead to a brighter 2026 — guided by talent, passion, and the enduring Kapuso spirit.
Congratulations to all our Sparkle artists — past, present, and future.
