  1. I think that Manny the Movie Guy is more lively than Ricky Lo. However, Anne has NO right to be too picky to an interviewer.

    1. Kasi it's like talking to someone na bobo kasi eh. Kaw? Di ka din ba maiirita? plus, ricky lo could have said sorry or kahit man lang an apology right? Eh hindi eh, parang "ok, moving on" lang. :D

    2. IMO khit ordinary na tao pag walang kwenta kausap di ineentertain...yan pa kaya...

    3. Come on, she's an international star (that means she's not just someone you see everyday in real life). She should have known better.

    4. I agree with Anon 5:06 and 5:09. Just say sorry, and be sensitive enough to ask better questions.

    5. Ewan ko sa inyo, basta ako, kahit nagkamali lang si Ricky Lo, he does not deserve that kind of lambastments.

    6. wala namang nilambast, molybdenum. mabait pa nga si anne kung tutuusin. regardless of whatever their respective statuses are, tama ang sagot ni anne kasi bastos ang approach ni ricky. magtanong ka ba naman about too personal questions AT isingit mo ba naman ang pangalan ni Lea Salonga na wala naman sa movie, if I were in Anne's shoes, mas sarcastic siguro ang sagot ko kay Ricky. paminsan minsan dapat sinusupalpal mo ang mga taong "feeling" magaling or nagmamagaling.

    7. Discrimination! Masyadong nangdiscriminate si Anne Hathaway, insecure kay lea!

    8. Anon 8:12 PM You're not making sense.

      I like how Manny did his interview. He can make his interviewee relax. Manny listened to what Anne had to say.

      Ricky didn't listen. All he had in his head were his questions to extract the ho-hum Pinoy connection answers he always had to have in his article. Sooooo formulaic, soooo passé!

    9. It was ricky lo who was rude and stupid with his questions, oqening line pa lng kaka asar na. Tapos mag interview ka habang nagbabasa ng txt. Obviously he was not prepared. And to bring up a name of someone who was not in the movie twice. Totally uncalled for.

    11. I have to agree with Anon 8:12 (solidly). Granted, the rest of you do not like Ricky Lo's awkwardness, but the way Anne answered Ricky's questions is rude. She should have known better. However, to anon 8:12, I doubt insecure si Anne kay Lea.

      At anon 7:49, don't you think that being sarcastic is MORE rude!? I salute the likes of Amanda Seyfried and Suraj Sharma for being more considerate. Eh si Anne H., it seems that the "diva" and "prima donna" rumors against her are becoming true. Peace.

    12. lambastment. by golly, this is yet another classic case of someone trying to pass himself/herself as someone with a gift for words and ends up as a lost (neither here nor there) wordsmith. comments posted in this site have been very entertaining for the most part and they are amusing and instructive in a lot of ways too. however, there are a lot of crimes committed here vis-a-vis grammar, language, and the written word. I've read it all too often said here in the articles' comments section that we should not be snarky, naysay, or nitpick our fellow posters but admittedly, there is no excuse to these barbarisms they chronically commit. Regardless of the language used, one must always try and labor to appropriate it well. Worth mentioning in this regard then are the legions of witty bekis who have had such deft mastery of the dynamics of the language they chose to use as to bend it to their will while at the same time engaging in artful wordplay and puns in their posts.

      The claim that Anne felt insecure because of Lea is absurd. For starters, Anne might not even know her and even if she does, why should she be "insecure" of her?

      The problem with many Filipinos, Ricky Lo being not the least of which, is that we tend to be presumptuous. We presume that the celebrated of us (e.g. "Lea Salonga", "Imelda Marcos") is acclaimed all over the world. We stubbornly insist on "connecting" ourselves and creating a link, no matter how remote, with famous people. How many times have we seen and heard it reported on our local news channels that someone who is 1/16th or 1/20th Filipino has won this or that award in this or that country? How many times have we been asked by a fellow Filipino we casually met here or abroad if we know this or that person just because he/she found out that the person he/she knows and you his/her new acquaintance came from the same city or province?

      Think before you react.

      Saying that Anne's conduct to Ricky was outright discrimination and that her response upon being asked about Lea was a sign of her insecurity is not only premature but a product of a myopic, judgmental mind.

      A good reference to Anne's attitude would be her past interviews, including those she gave to US-based Filipino journalists like Ruben Nepales.

      As a gauge/measure upon which claims of her being discriminatory would be set against, methinks that there is no better method of comparison than this. Anne with Ricky Lo the Filipino and Anne with Ruben Nepales the Filipino.

      Before saying anything, know the facts first.

    15. but Anne Hathaway IS Anne Hathaway. Ricky Lo should have come prepared with intelligent questions. He even handed his phone to Anne w/c I think is unethical. Ricky should have read it for her instead. AND to ask if she was ever been poor and hungry? WTF right? :))

      Delete
    16. The way Ricky asked questions is different than what Manny does. Sabi nga it is not about the question but how you asked it. Ricky's tone in questioning is different thanthe other one. And I noticed that Ricky kept on interrupting Anne, she sometimes was not able to finish her sentence. Anyway, by watching this two videos, I never finished Ricky's interview but bitin ako sa interview ni Manny. :-p

      Delete
    17. I agree that ricky lo was really bobo in this interview. BUT Anne's response at the end of the interview was a major turn off. Gawd, will it cost her a million bucks to invite fans to see her movie. She was so rude.

      Delete
    18. There is nothing wrong with Anne Hathaway or her response in the Ricky Lo interview. It is RL who botched the interview.

      Delete
    19. Manny's is relaxed and conversational. Mas interesting panoorin, pareho sila ni Anne na light ang mood and may flow ang usap. Si Ricky Lo eh parang mema lang at pilit pinapasok si Lea Salonga sa usapan! Yan tuloy, nabastos ng di oras! Umpisa pa lang, mali na sya. Tsk tsk.

      Delete
    20. Defensive si Anne H kasi alam nya pinoy si Ricky Lo, so from the start alam na nya na ikokonek si lea sa mga questions. Pero over sya sa pagka defensive, lumalabas na insecure sya. Ask all those who watched her movie and ung play ni lea, they are the ones who know how good lea was... Insecure si Anne H.

    24. The title of the interview should have been --- "The Insecure Anne Hathaway!" Korek to those who commented na insecure nga si Anne Hathaway kay Lea. She's very sarcastic. Wala sya sa kalingkingan ni Lea.

  2. Im sorry, Ricky has been a "journalist" far too long than I could remember. But I never once liked him. I find him so boring and trying hard. I never understood also why they even allow him to face big stars. Seriously, he doesn't sound and look credible.

Next time sana kay Boy abunda and the likes na lang ibigay para hindi nakakahiya sya pa naman nagrepresent sa Philippines.

    2. Hollywood stars, when promoting their movies, dont talk about their personal lives, but they focus on the movie itself... talk show hosts Jimmy Kimmel or Jay Leno knows best how to make their interviewees comfortable and they keep it light. We have to keep in mind that these are Hollywood stars and notpinoy artista na puro iyak and drama during interviews.

  14. i think manny's interview is way better because he was able to put anne at ease and kept her engaged and open during the interview. she was very pleasant and even shared personal info (about her getting married), which showed that she was comfortable.

    unlike in ricky's interview, she gave one word answers and was standoffish probably because the rapport was not there. he also kept cutting her off and his questions were very shallow.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Who is that guy? He is good. He listens and based his questions based on Anne's answers. I guess that makes for a good interviewer. Listen and formulate your questions based on the answer then you can squeeze in your listed questions without being irrelevant.

  16. I think the problem with the Ricky Lo interview was that he went there unprepared AND wanting to impress Anne Hathaway with the fact that he knows Lea Salonga and Lea knows her. That's why he was so distracted (unless he was just stoned). Ricky Lo should have focused on Anne and the interview. I didn't find Anne bitchy. She was uncomfortable because of Ricky Lo's demeanor.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I agree! Also guess he is not aware of the difference between Philippine showbiz and Hollywood not to mention Anne Hathaway's caliber and status as an actress. As an interviewer, and as a journalist (as PhilStar claim he is) Ricky Lo should be aware and sensitive about being "politically correct" and what is acceptable/unacceptable in a conversation.

    2. I was watching his Saturday Show on GMA. They were interviewing Gloria Romero. Ganung-ganun ang pag interview ni Ricky Lo kay Anne. Hindi na naisip iba ang culture sa Holloywood.

  17. Manny the Movie Guy isn't that articulate like Ricky Lo but his energy level was a winner. I think that made Anne really comfortable. Ricky Lo was kinda mumbling, and his diction sucked (I honestly couldn't understand half of what he was saying). Lessons learned: You don't have to be perfect in grammar or American accent, as long as you establish rapport with the interviewee, you are energetic, you stick with your point of discussion, and you speak clearly, then you wouldn't be receiving sarcastic and cringe-worthy answers from them.

    I guess it's time they let Ricky Lo rest from interviewing international stars. Manny the Movie Guy, Boy Abunda, or Kris Aquino should be sent instead to avoid another embarrassment.

    3. Hahaha AnonymousJanuary 19, 2013 at 5:47 PM, I've seen quite a few interviews of Boy Abunda with famous international stars, so far, the magic mirror hasn't been "put up". I don't know, but have you ever seen Boy Abunda ask his international interviewees questions involving the magic mirror? I think he does that for showbiz oriented scoops/local celebrities with issues. Hehe! ;)

    7. Please read, Manny the Movie Guy isn't that articulate like Ricky Lo. It DID NOT say that Manny the Movie Guy isn't that articulate UNLIKE Ricky Lo. It is said there that they are both not articulate, but Manny was a winner.

      Delete
    8. kailan ba naging articulate si Ricky Lo? Diba inalis ito sa ABS-CBN kaya dinampot ng GMA?

      Delete
  18. It is really about making your interviewee feel comfortable from the start, asking the right questions to get sincere answers, listening to your interviewee and throw good follow-up questions, not strictly following the guide questions on your cue card, researching beforehand for fresh/unasked questions, and just being sensitive overall.

    MannytheMovieGuy made me feel interested as to what he's going to ask Anne next, and what Anne's answer's going to be. It was not his bubbly persona that stood out (heck, it might also dangerously come off as OA to some). He listened well and made Anne feel important through his witty comments. He was funny, yes, but still stuck to the topic (Anne as Fantine, and Les Mis.

    Ricky Lo asked similar questions, but he set the mood wrong right from the start, and got worse as the interview progressed.

  26. Ricky Lo--- epic fail! I don't understand why they keep on sending him to cover Hollywood stars! If I were Anne, I would have been so pissed too. I have nothing against Lea Salonga (She's the epitome of perfection for me) but this interview has nothing to do with Lea and questions should have been about this film. Anne even tried to be nice the first time he mentioned Lea and she even looked happy reading the text but it was just too much when Ricky Lo did it again.

    Manny on the other hand was so alive and you can sense that he really knew what he was talking about.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I agree. Why insert Lea Salonga in the interview? And to actually show the text from his phone? It's unprofessional. Mention Lea once is fine. But don't keep talking about her. This interview is about Anne and Les Miserables. There is a difference in interviewing a local Filipino artist and a foreign artist. The interviewer would have to consider the cultural differences. Ricky Lo was also unprepared in the interview. It seems like he didn't even watch the movie.

      Manny The Movie Guy, obviously did his homework. He came prepared and was knowledgeable about the subject. He formed his questions around Anne's answers., not just reading a list of questions he prepared like Ricky Lo. He made Anne at ease which Anne positively responded to. She gave witty answers, joked with him and even talked about her age and wedding. This is how you do an interview. Ricky Lo should take notes.

  36. Akala kasi ni Ricky Lo he can always fool people on his level of "competence" kung meron may. His interview with Anne proves that sooner or later, your true worth and competence (again kung meron man) will show.

  39. GMA 7, pls naman stop sending Ricky Lo to do interviews with international stars na, he could write but he's not competent and doesn't have the skills to do an interview, even with our local stars, napakaboring nya, kahit as host, he bores me to hell. Magsulat na lang sya, dun ok pa sya,But Anne Hathaway went way too low, when she said "Why don't u invite them?" She was pissed off, ok, but she could have ended the conversation with tact since tactless na rin lang naman yung nag-interview sa kanya.napasama din tuloy tingin ko sa kanya, imbes na si Ricky LOW lang ang nakakahiya,.

  40. GRABE. Kitang kita yung difference! Anne is so comfortable and at ease with Manny. While with Ricky, she looks like she wants to be rescued.

    ReplyDelete
  41. If you google Anne Hathaway makikita mo na rude talaga sya que sa interviews o co-star like what Joseph Gordon-Levitt said. Yung mga tanong kasi ni Ricky Lo ay pangshowbiz dito sa Pinas at nakikisakay na nga lang c Anne tungkol kay Lea Salonga, para pa syang fan na message-message kuno. Isa pa naging defensive si Anne dahil baka itong mapersonal na interviewer na ito ay matanong sya sa picture nyang walang panty lately na nakita na lahat. Maski nga kay Matt Lauer sa TV interview, rude si Anne.

    1. she has a right to be rude. she is an artist, not a celebrity, and she values her craft. the biggest difference between pinoy actors and those in Hollywood is these artists try to maintain the strongest presence of craftsmanship to their work. Here in the Philippines, our actors are hungry for attention and not for the work they are able to produce. the Filipinos value more the intrigues and kilig-kilig in their roles rather than focusing on what difference did their roles make in the lives of the people who watch them. Did you ever wonder why there has been no Filipino movie ever nominated in the Oscars? The reason is that our artists try to focus more on overacting in their movies rather than honing their crafts and create this simple emotion that touches the moviegoers lives. that is the major difference, all the other countries nominated in the film focuses more on the influence their film makes to society rather than how their fans would love it. That is why I believe that the Indie film industry of the Philippines has more class than those of the other major film outfits. the movies they produce have depth, have stories, and have the basics of good storytelling instead of just focusing on selling the movie to make a profit.

    1. She hasn't wanted to talk about it coz she's had too much flak from it

    2. Just so you know, weight issue is very sensitive in America. Ricky Lo should have made his research and come well prepared for the interview.

    3. duh, marami nang tinanong nyan. siya lang ang maarte. actually bitch talaga siya. buti na lang dahil dito sa interview na ito, nalaman ng mga tao na she is in fact a bitch. sana inisip nya rin na hindi taga america ang mag-iinterview sa kanya. so most probably iba yung style ng mga tanong natin. sa sunod kung ayaw nilang tinatanong ng mga ganyang bagay, i-screen muna nila yung mga questions ng mga interviewer.

    4. Waaay before pinalabas yung les mis, sinabi na ni anne na ayaw niyang pag-usapan yung tungkol sa paglose niya ng weight. Ricky lo should have done research first ng hindi nasosopla.

    5. Bastos? She was smiling and keeping her poise kahit asar na asar na siya. She wasn't rude at all! Sensitive ka lang masyado.

    6. Anon 10:18, you don't talk about weight in America. It's considered rude!

    7. Lest we forget, Manny the Movie Guy asked tge same question but was not given a "rude" answer. It was a matter of timing and the right rapport.

    9. teh sa US sensitive na issue lalo na sa mga "HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES" ang tungkol sa weight loss dahil konti issue lang akusahan na sila na anorexic or bulimic kaya ayaw nya pag usapan yun tungkol dun!

  44. The problem with Ricky Lo is: 1) He had to say I have this important friend over and over again as if to bloat his importance as a journalist, 2) He only asked Anne once about how she prepared for the role. Other than that everything was trying to get a sob story about the life of Anne Hathaway. Akala niya yata interview dapat yun for "Wish ko lang!" program. In fairness to him, he was only catering to what some people want to hear na gumapang siya sa lusak and finally nagtagumpay. Trite! 3) Finally, he tried to get a 5 second clip asking Anne to say something to Lea. I love Lea but we have to understand who is the bigger star. I guess to Mr. Ricky Lo it would have been a good sound bite sa primetime news. Sa pilipinas kasi pagkatapos ng bawat interview panghuli parati na sasabihin ng interviewer, Oh sige! Invite mo na sila sa movie mo or gig mo.

  45. kung si matt lauer nga tinatarayan ni anne, si ricky lo pa kaya. Feelingera siya hindi naman ako nagalingan sa kanya as fantine. Mas ok pa din si uma thurman.
    Anyway mas ok itong interview na ito he came prepared at smart ang mga tanong.

    ReplyDelete
  46. The reason why she doesn't want to talk about the weight loss is because she doesn't want other kids to follow what she did to achieve that weight. It wasn't being bastos. She did try to get into the spirit of the interview when Ricky Lo mentioned Leah. In fairness to Mr. Ricky Lo ginagawa lang niya yung tingin niya gustong marinig ng mga viewers na kesyo bilib si Anne sa mga Filipino. He should have talked more about the movie and less about her as a showbiz personality.

  50. I agree that Ricky Lo's interview lacked substance and depth plus the thing with fishing anything Filipino out of Anne was plain stupid. However, Anne's "why don't you invite them" comment was out of the line too. It's her movie after all and no matter how famous she is, she could have at least acknowledged her fans. A simple message would have sufficed.

    sabi ng mga babae, ok lang daw na tanungin kung pano nag lose ng weight but NOT kung pano naibalik, at napaka-personal na question the interview is about the MOVIE not her, sanay kasi tayo na kadramahan ang interview....

  53. I think the interview would have to improve tremendously to even qualify as "painful to watch". Aside from the inapprorpiate and very personal questions, i think what irritated and annoyed Anne Hathaway was Ricky Lo's "nervous laugh"... it seemed as if he was not sensing Anne's annoyance by him.

  58. Let's set aside the pronunciation and diction issues of Ricky Lo, his worst sin was he seemed unprepared, awkward, distracted, and, worst of all for an interviewer, had no awareness of what's happening and how the interviewee is feeling/acting. As an interviewer, it's your job to make the subject comfortable, engaged, and continue to communicate. Kahit ma-annoy ang subject basta engaged at communicative, it would still have been a good interview. Ang nangyari with Anne e she shut down... the worst thing that could happen in an interview. And, I agree, I think he focused too much on the fact na kilala niya si Lea Salonga and was trying to make a connection between Anne and Lea. I think Anne truly admires Lea pero I think because of Ricky's badgering on the Lea subject, medyo na-put in a bad light si Lea with Anne (kahit na walang involvement si Lea)... Too bad.

    1. Well, it should also apply to Ricky... him being the interviewer doesn't make him any better than her and giving him the right to put her in an awkward position---> in asking personal questions ("have you been poor? hungry?") or almost using her and Lea to aggrandize himself (intentionally or unintentionally)....

    2. No, the secret to a good interview is to stay on topic. Lea Salonga is not part of the movie so why should he ask Anne about her? Plus, give a message? bakit? Mag kaaway ba sila ni lea na dapat siya mag message na good luck or something? to be a good interviewer, you need to talk about the issues, and this means talking about the movie and not stupid questions. From the very start, Ricky Lo never had anything good to say about the movie. Plus, check him out, he has a set of questions on his hand. This means that he is not candid enough about the interview. He merely wants to show that he has interviewed another big star rather than proving that he has the capacity to do good interviews.

      Delete
    3. I beg to differ! There is no secret, really. If you come to the interview prepared, if you asked the right questions (meaning, well researched, relevant and intelligent questions), and you are not awkward in the way you speak or move, then a good rapport will follow.

  70. move na kayo guys, ok lang yan. anne hathaway lang naman yan. artista lang naman yan kahit a-lister pa kuno siya. hindi rin naman sila tinitake seriously sa bansa nila.

    it would be a different situation kung ang ininterview ni ricky lo ay presidente. dun dapat talagang matinding research ang kailangan. or scientist na masyadong mahalaga ang contribution sa humanity.

    anne is trying to sound smart kaya lang hindi nya inakala na mabababaw pala ang mga tanong sa kanya. dun siya naging bitchy. she probably wants to be taken seriously. hihi.

  71. Susme, di pa ba tapos ito? Baka naman hukayin pa yung past interview ni Ricky kay Anne. Para namang si Anne Hathaway ang bida ng Les Mis. Wala pa atang 10 minutes ang screen time nya eh. It's a press junket interview, walang kwenta yan dahil bayad si Ricky, et al ng Les Miserables team para i-promote ang pelikula. O ayan, na-promote na nga ng todo-todo kaya dapat may bonus si Ricky Lo.

  77. Manny also asked personal questions, pero it was after they discussed about the movie. plus, yes, he really made Anne feel comfortable by acknowledging her answers and basing his next questions on the answers. he came prepared, but he still made the interview very conversational. i guess that made Anne feel that she can share some personal things with Manny (imagine, pati yung marriage, nireveal nya, eh hindi naman related sa movie!).

  83. mr ricky lo, with all due respect, and i presume you know this already because you're in the business for so long, an interview should always be about the subject, not about the interviewer or some other person. why do you keep on dragging lea salonga's name when she's not even part of the movie. if this interview was embarassing for us, i think it's more embarassing for lea. he got what he deserved. if you think anne was rude in the last part, i think mr lo was more rude when he kept looking on his cell phone (to open lea's message), butting in even when anne wasnt done talking yet, talking about lea salonga for several times, asking anne questions about being poor and hungry. duh! stupid is what stupid gets.

    as for manny, i love the way he did the interview. saw his interview with the other cast members, and they all looked they had fun talking to him, making jokes and sharing personal experiences, because he made them feel that the interview was about THEM.
