His announcement shocked many listeners of the popular radio talk show Boys Night Out, which he co-hosts alongside Tony Toni and Slick Rick, with Gino Quillamor, Jojo the Love Survivor, and Tin Gamboa (also known as DJ Suzy).
In a separate Instagram post, Sam clarified his decision to resign from the radio station and program, “Just to be clear.. Walang nag-away. Walang magkagalit.”
He added, “I believe I’ve given my all these past 17 years and I will forever be grateful for all the lessons I’ve learned and the lives I’ve touched.”
The radio and TV personality emphasized that Boys Night Out will continue “as usual,” and believed that the show will be in “great hands” with his co-hosts.
He also clarified that he’s not leaving the country, “I’m not leaving the country and I’ll still be hosting corporate/TV shows, events, weddings, and everything in between. PS: Wag lang children’s parties.”

Without disclosing his upcoming plans, Sam mentioned that it pains him to leave Boys Night Out, but he’s excited about “what’s ahead.” He revealed that he’ll stay until November this year, and jokingly denied joining Vivamax.
“Growth is often uncomfortable, messy, and full of feelings you weren’t expecting. But it’s necessary,” he concluded.
Meanwhile, Tin and Slick Rick sent their well wishes to Sam through social media posts.
“He’ll be on til November but I’ll save that post til that day comes. But for now, let’s just sit back and enjoy the time we got left on air. That doesn’t mean you’ll never see us as a group again, maybe you’ll catch us hosting as a group, doing things online and much much more!” Slick Rick wrote.
