Zsa Zsa Padilla has bid an emotional farewell to the iconic ABS-CBN tower, as the network transitions into a new chapter. With ABS-CBN Corporation recently sealing a deal with Ayala Land Inc. for the sale of part of its Quezon City property, Zsa Zsa shared her personal reflections on the changes she’s witnessed throughout her career.

In a heartfelt post, Zsa Zsa recalled her early days in the 1980s when she began her singing career. “I’ve witnessed the many transformations of the ABS-CBN compound over the years,” she wrote. Back then, the space was still occupied by PTV 4, and she remembered promoting her songs in one of the studios. “The ELJ building was just a parking lot back then,” she added.

As ABS-CBN went through significant changes, Zsa Zsa continued to be a part of the network's growing legacy. During the Aquino administration, ABS-CBN reopened its doors, and Zsa Zsa had the honor of doing a musical special. Then came the network’s glorious resurgence with shows like Home Along da Riles, Palibhasa Lalake, and The Sharon Cuneta Show, forever etched in the memories of Filipino viewers.

In 1996, Zsa Zsa became a regular on ASAP, a show that became not only a milestone in her career but a key part of her life.

Fast forward to the present, and Zsa Zsa found herself standing with her ASAP family at the ABS-CBN tower for a Patrol segment. “I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of melancholy,” she shared. “This place holds decades of history, memories, and milestones—not just for us, but for everyone who grew up watching.”

As the tower stands on the brink of transformation, Zsa Zsa’s post reflects the bittersweet moment of saying goodbye to a place that has witnessed so much of her own journey, as well as the shared history of countless Filipinos.
