Karylle, who was identified as a GMA 7 Kapuso talent for 7 years, will now be seen in a number of Kapamilya shows, which include a musical variety show and a teleserye.
She will also record a new album in the Kapamilya station.
In GMA 7, her most memorable show was Encantadia when she was cast as one of the four female leads.
Still part of her stint as a Kapuso talent, she will sing the Philippine National Anthem during the fight of Manny Paquiao and Oscar dela Hoya on December 6, 2008 in Las Vegas.
Here's the official statement of STAGES, confirming Karylle's transfer to ABS-CBN:
"Karylle Tatlonghari receives the blessing of Wilma Galvante, GMA-7 SVP for Entertainment, and Darling de Jesus, GMA-7 AVP for Magazine/Musical/Variety, to do television projects with ABS-CBN.

"'As Karylle's new partner in the industry, we've been exploring the best projects for her, in and out of television networks, that will continuously hone her singing, acting and hosting skills. She's got incredible talent that is yet to realize its full potential,'" says Carlo Orosa, Business Head, STAGES Talent Group.
"Karylle is very grateful to GMA-7 for all the opportunities the network has given her. GMA-7 has been behind her success since the early years of her career.
"Galvante wishes her the best, and leaves the door open if she decides to return to GMA-7 someday.
"Karylle will finish her commitments in GMA-7 including her appearances on SOP, Kakasa Ka Ba sa Grade 5, and her singing the Philippine National Anthem at the Manny Pacquiao-Oscar de la Hoya boxing match at Las Vegas, Nevada on December 6.
