In the riveting soap opera of Philippine showbiz, the rumor mill is churning faster than a conspiracy theorist’s brain on caffeine. 

Toni Gonzaga, known for her plot twists both on and off-screen, is allegedly making a U-turn back to ABS-CBN, the anti-Marcos haven, leaving ALLTV in the dust. The irony is thicker than a teleserye plot as her husband, Paul Soriano, bids adieu to his role as Bongbong Marcos’ Special Assistant for Creative Communications. Are the Gonzaga-Soriano duo staging a coup against the Marcoses, or is this just another ingenious marketing strategy?

Perhaps Gonzaga is a secret fan of non-existent, no-franchise networks, or maybe she’s just nostalgic for the good old days of black-and-white TV. Either that or her crystal ball predicted the rise of holographic broadcasting. Whatever the reason, the real mystery here is why anyone would voluntarily leave a job with a title that sounds more fictional than the latest teleserye plot twist. Stay tuned for the next episode of “As the Network Turns.”
