Kuya Kim Atienza nagpaalam na sa TV Patrol

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

The personalities, the entertainment, the icons & the culture that shaped us, are slowly fading.

Kuya Kim leaving ABSCBN, Disney Channel signing off, our favorite cartoon actors dying left and right. nakakalungkot din noh?

Kuya Kim Atienza delivers his last weather forecast on TV Patrol this Friday as he bids farewell on the network.

Kuya Kim Atienza nagpaalam na sa TV Patrol.

"For the last time, hanggang sa huling pagkakataon, ang buhay ay weather-weather lang

Hanggang sa muli, Kapamilya."

What hurts more than break-up? ICONS of ABS-CBN leaving the network.

Matanglawin and Weather Weather lang is waving for farewell. I know Kuya Kim did it for the good. He has a family to feed. But I just can't help it. This is so heartbreaking.

Kuya Kim Atienza is a huge part of my childhood. From early morning trivias, Matanglawin and weather forecast every night. It's just heartbreaking to see him say "Ang buhay ay weather-weather Lang" one last time. 

You can feel how sincere he is on his farewell message. You can see how thankful he is to his second home for 17 years, ABS-CBN, to the bashers of Kuya Kim that’s LOYALTY. 

Though I'm still happy for him to going to Kapuso network...

New home, new shows and continue what you’ve started now as a Kapuso Kuya Kim‼️Welcome to GMA-7!

I wonder how this network loyalty by viewers started, Kapamilya kapuso or whatever. When i was growing up, televiewers watch all channels as long as they were entertained. Now, it seemed only one channel can please a televiewer. Funny!

Yah I feel you! I believe even a solid Kapuso will feel the same kung si Mike Enriquez or Jessica Soho ay lilipat ng istasyon. Kasi yon na ang nakasanayan natin. But I think nakaka refresh din tignan kung lalabas si Kuya Kim sa GMA-7. Kaya still do support him.

Are you still so mad at the people who denied the network's franchise? Dapat Lang! We should never, never forgive the Duterte administration for what they did to ABS-CBN.

Ewan ko kung ako lang ha? Kasi importante sa akin ang loyalty at utang na loob eh. Kung ang isang kumpanya ay madaming opportunity ba binigay sa akin at doon ako nakilala, natuto at nagkaroon,  hindi ko yan iiwan sa panahong down siya. Kasi siguro naman may ipon ako para makatawid sa araw araw.

Ok lang yan... Siguro 1 year na lang, balik na kayo. Kapit lang kapamilya.

Still part of the aftermath of the non-renewal of franchise. This hurts more than that actress' transfer. Hindi siya magiging Kuya Kim kung hindi dahil sa ABS-CBN, at kay Ernie Baron. Good luck sa bagong show, and thank you for giving us educational information on free TV.

ABS-CBN's statement on Kim Atienza parting ways with the network. "All the best, Kuya Kim! Forever Kapamilya." 

TV Patrol will never be the same again without Kuya Kim…but like what he always says:

“Ang buhay ay weather-weather lang”

When the high tide goes out, he will be back. 

Kuya Kim leaving TV Patrol gave the same feeling I had when Noli de Castro left the show when he decided to run for VP. He'll come back soon. It is not like Ernie Baron retiring and making way for Kuya Kim Atienza. That said, who will fill in those boots?

Also, the new guy needs to have a good catchphrase. "Kung walang knowledge, wapang power. Buh-bye!" by Ernie Baron is still iconic. Walang makakatapat dyan.

JUST IN: TV Patrol has found a replacement in line with Kuya Kim's departure from the network's flagship newscast program.

Everyone: “Endgame is the crossover event of the century.”

Kuya Kim and Mang Tani on 24 Oras: 

But seriously, I hope, that with Kuya Kim’s departure from ABS-CBN, the company will train more journalists focused in the education and science beats. Can we quickly think of anybody who can/will replace him?

Matanglawin was a special program, perhaps the only educational tv show in free TV.

I remember a conversation back then, that the company seldom trains journalists as figures to be the next host/anchor. There are only special cases because of their following and recognizability. Maybe it’s high time they should train more people.

I know TV Patrol can still survive and will find a replacement for him soon. 

A heartbreak it is but we need to move on and adapt with the changes that is bound to happen. 

TV Patrol's farewell to Kuya Kim was indeed a tear-jerker. 

Must be really hard to leave a network that served as home, because as they always say, in ABS-CBN, they're all treated as family. All the best, Kuya Kim Atienza!
