Veteran broadcast journalist Pinky Webb recently paid a heartfelt visit to the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center in Quezon City, taking a moment to say goodbye to the iconic structure that played a significant role in her career.

It is worth noting that the building and its iconic Millennium Transmitter are set to be dismantled following the sale of a portion of the media giant’s property in Quezon City to Ayala Land Inc.

In an emotional Instagram post, Webb shared a photo of herself at the media giant’s headquarters. She was joined by Ces Drilon, KC Constantino-Torres, and Yvette White-Nepomuceno.

In the caption, Webb, who spent many years as a journalist under ABS-CBN, conveyed her appreciation for the meaningful experiences and professional growth she achieved during her time with the company.

“Decades of learning, growing and loving. Forever grateful,” she earnestly wrote.

“Once a Kapamilya, always a Kapamilya,” Webb concluded her post, echoing a sentiment shared by many who have been part of the ABS-CBN family.

Webb’s visit and tribute post evoked a sense of nostalgia among her colleagues and supporters, while also highlighting ABS-CBN’s lasting legacy in Philippine media, even as its physical structures prepare to be taken down.

ABS-CBN is one of the leading media companies in the Philippines. Its 25-year franchise expired on May 4, 2020 and the Committee on Legislative Franchises of the House of Representatives officially rejected on July 10 its bid to secure another franchise.
