Mang Tani welcomes Kuya Kim to GMA Network

Nathaniel "Mang Tani" Cruz just gave Kim Atienza a warm welcome to GMA Network!

In Monday's episode of "24 Oras," just after the announcement that Kuya Kim is now a Kapuso, Mang Tani took the time to send him a short message fresh from Australia.

"Hi, pwede na kitang tawagin ngayong Kapusong Kuya Kim. [Hi, now I can call you Kapusong Kuya Kim.] Welcome," he said.

"Natatandaan mo ba 'yung matagal na matagal na panahon na magsisimula ka sa bagong trabaho mo no'n at ako naman ay nasa PAGASA? Matagal na 'yon pero ngayon, magkakasama na tayong dalawa."

["Do you remember when a long time ago, you were just starting with your new job while I was with PAGASA? That's long ago, but now, we are finally together."]

Before ending his video message, Mang Tani assured Kuya Kim that he will have a great time.

"Defnitely, you will enjoy itong Kapuso network. Kapusong Kuya Kim, welcome!" he said.

We can't wait to see you together on "24 Oras," Mang Tani and Kuya Kim!
