He added that while his decision has changed, his aspirations for the public remains.
"Gayunpaman, HINDI PO NAGBAGO ANG AKING LAYUNIN AT HANGAD PARA SA BAYAN," said the veteran broadcaster.
"Kasabay ng pagdarasal sa Poong Nazareno, napag-isip-isip kong mas makatutulong ako sa pagbibigay ng boses sa ating mga kababayan sa pamamagitan ng pamamahayag," he added.
De Castro promised that he would continue to give fellow Filipinos a voice, especially during these times.
"Patuloy tayong magiging boses ng ating mga kababayan, lalo na sa panahong katulad nito na ang boses na iyon ay nalulunod sa ingay ng pulitika at paggamit ng kapangyarihan para sa sariling interes ng iilan," he said.
In addition, De Castro thanked Manila Mayor Isko Moreno for welcoming him into the party.
His closing statement was, "Ituloy po natin ang pagtutulungan para sa mas malakas na boses ng bayan."
Noli de Castro is one of the most seasoned broadcasters in the Philippines. He also served as the Vice President of the country during the term of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
