MANILA — TV host Melai Cantiveros renewed her contract with ABS-CBN on Wednesday.

Cantiveros was among the six artists to renew their contracts with the company.

During the ceremony, Cantiveros revealed the reason why she stays as a Kapamilya.

"Hindi ko ma-imagine ang sarili ko na awala ako sa ABS-CBN and kahit na sinabi ko to kina Maam Cory, Sir Mark na kahit na wala ang ABS-CBN uuwi na lang ako ng Gen San rather go to the other because, I'm so happy with this family," Cantiveros revealed.

Rose to fame as a big winner in Pinoy Big Brother in its "Double Up" edition in 2009, Cantiveros looked back to her career in ABS-CBN for more than 15 years.

"Overwhelmed talaga ako, lalo na sa pagmamahal na binibigay sa akin ni Direk Lauren at yung tiwala talaga ni Direk Lauren dahil I'm a simple woman ba sa Gen San na hindi ako nagti-tiwala sa sarili ko pero si Direk Lauren ang unang nagtiwala sa akin Sir Carlo (Katigbak) kaya nung paglabas ko ng PBB sinabi talaga ni Direk 'Melai mag-ayos ka, mas maganda pa 'yung nagpapa-picture sa'yo kasi hindi ako makapaniwala na artista na ako," the Kapamilya host said.

Aside from her hosting gigs from different ABS-CBN shows such as "Magandang Buhay", Cantiveros also hosted her first-ever Bisaya talk show program which aired on ABS-CBN Entertainment's YouTube channel.
