Karla Estrada says goodbye to “Magandang Buhay” after hosting it for more than five years.

The morning of ABS-CBN’s show on Friday was filled with both pleasure and sadness.

“Ang aking puIot of the day, let me quote the letter of St. Paul to Timothy: ‘I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race and I have kept my faith.’ It has always been from ambition to mission. Isang paghakbang ang bawat magandang buhay sa umaga para lagpasan, higitan at ipagmalaki ang nagdaan. The support, the applause, the comments, bawat paghanga at pagtitiwala niyo, ‘yung panahon na inilaan niyo para pakinggan ang kuwento ng ‘Magandang Buhay’ …nag-uumapaw po ang puso ko sa pasasalamat. Babaunin ko sa bagong yugto ng aking buhay ang mga itinurong kuwento ng aking magandang buhay,” Karla said.

“I really want to say thank you to all the staff and crew ng ‘Magandang Buhay.’ Salamat sa tawanan at iyakan natin. Thank you very much. Maraming, maraming salamat. Hindi ko ipagpapalit ang ating pinagsamahan kahit saan man tayo makarating. Pagpasensiyahan niyo na ang aking kadramahan minsan, pero I love you at nandito lang ako bilang Momshie Karla niyo saan man tayo makarating. Puwede niyo akong katokin any time, tawagan any time,” Karla added.

Estrada also expressed gratitude to co-hosts Jolina Magdangal and Melai Cantiveros.

“Thank you Momshie Jols at Momshie Mels, gusto ko na lumaki ‘yung mga bata, na nagmamahalan ang mga anak natin, ganun pa rin. ‘Yung farm ko sa Tacloban tapos i-invite ko kayo, tapos matatanda na tayo na pinag-uusapan, hindi nabura sa isip ko yan at kinapitan ko ‘yan. That’s why I know I have prayed that this time again we will see each other, thank you,” Karla stated.

Magdangal and Cantiveros also spoke about the next stage that Estrada would go through during the program.

Cantiveros and Magdangal are pleased and glad to see Estrada pursuing what she enjoys.

Estrada’s close friends, Negi and KaladKaren, also visited the studio and attested to the actress’ helpfulness.

Magui and Carmella Estrada, Estrada’s children, also attended and offered some personal information about their mother. Estrada’s children said that no matter what happened, they would support their mother, whom they described as a very helpful person.

Estrada also praised her children, headed by Daniel Padilla, for their unwavering support in all of her life decisions.

“Sa aking panganay na si Daniel, siya kasi ang nagli-lead ng pack, siya kasi ang lider ng kanyang mga kapatid. Anak, napagaling mong ehemplo sa mga kapatid mo, maraming salamat. Thank you very much, anak, Daniel,” she said.

Estrada temporarily quit “Magandang Buhay” when she began campaigning for a party-list that won the last election.
