Kapuso R&B singer Jay R Sillona joined ABS-CBN as one of the guest judges on top-rating noontime program, “It’s Showtime” on Monday, June 30, 2014.
The 33-year-old soul singer who is identified as one of the mainstays of rival network, GMA 7 surprised the “madlang pipol” or audience as he appeared on the variety show. He was introduced along with veteran singer Vernie Varga.
During his appearance on “It’s Showtime”, the Filipino-American R&B star gave a “sample” of his latest single, “Parachute.”
Meanwhile, the surprise of the Kapuso singer garnered various interpretations from the netizens with some asking whether he decided to transfer to Kapamilya Network. He has been in GMA-7 for 10 years already.
Reports earlier surfaced that Jay R is gearing up to transfer into other network after he hinted a post on Facebook last April 2014 regarding his future involvement on the country’s largest network.
The multi-awarded singer, whose contract with Kapuso Network expired, took to his official page on the social networking site where he asked his fans if they preferred him to GMA’s “Sunday All Stars,” where he performs or he is more suited to be one of the performers of ABS-CBN’s “ASAP.”
However, Jay R neither confirm nor deny if he has already signed a contract with Kapamilya.
The “Bakit Pa Ba” hitmaker also took to his Twitter and Instagram accounts where he shared his excitement about his surprise appearance on the noontime program.
