They Don’t Like Pro Bono

Image courtesy of www.dukeo.com

All stars know that there are paid performances – and there are charities. Charities, otherwise known as fundraising are worthwhile campaigns that help raise awareness on the plight of the disadvantaged and offer assistance for their welfare.

Most popular celebrities are often asked by organizations to lend support for certain charities owing to the impact that their names and status would bring to the cause. To be fair, more and more celebrities, even those who are not as popular take heed and even help voluntarily without being asked. They know that this is a way to pay forward and share their blessings to make a difference.

Normally, stars donate cash or perform for free to raise the much-needed funds. They are asked  to give whatever they can – no matter how small – as every cent counts. These wonderful people give their time, and talent to help raise the money.

Popular Teen Actor TA was reportedly approached by an Organization Committee OC through His Mother HM if he can perform for a fundraising campaign for a school. The performance would just be brief as his presence was more important. Needless to say, it was understood that the said performance would be pro bono. What a shock it was to the OC committee members when HM quoted them an amount for TA’s talent fee. But what shocked them even more was the amount being asked - too impossibly high for the purpose.

When told that OC would not be able to afford any amount as they were in fact raising funds, HM allegedly sent hints that TA would not be able to perform for them. And since it would be crass to decline OC just like that, HM tried to soften the blow by telling them that she would just try to help them with sponsors, venue and the like.

But she and the OC knew very well that those were not their concern but the support that would come from TA which would have been a big boost for the school’s campaign. But unfortunately,  HM looked the other way. The committee members could only shake their heads in disbelief.

Those privy remarked that TA and HM should have been more sensitive in dealing with such propositions. After all, if lesser stars can do it, why can’t the very privileged TA?

    8. anon 2:41 --> Honor is the American spelling of the word meaning, among things, (1) great respect or recognition, and (2) to show respect for. Honour is the preferred spelling outside the U.S.


      thus, tama si anon 12:25

    11. 2:41 AM "Honour" is also an alternative spelling for "honor." Tama lang ang spelling ni 12:25 AM. Think before you correct.

  12. Well dpat ung school lumapit sa management nung network, nde din kasi pde mabook ang isang prime talent ng di alam ng network kung may tf at below 100k nde na papakeelaman nung network un pero kung pro bono at more than 100k tsaka mangengeelam ung network. Mas mahigpit kasi kpag fund rasing activities ang aapearan ng artista, kasi unang una they need to check the purpose of raising funds, kung di b ito conflict sa mga charities ng network. Kaya siguro nagpapabayad si mother para maka lusot, though may rate card kasi sila kaya yun lng ung sinusunod. Nde lng yan nagkaintindihan, kasi once mura ang binigay nilang presyo at kumalat yan mas malaking gulo yan internally. Dpat ung school sa network lumapit.

    5. "Ay maganda yang project niyo, and my S and I will be glad to help, but can we ask the network first? Para naman hindi magka-conflict?"

      Pwede namang ganito ang isagot ni mother di ba? Ang nega niya! Mariano garapon!

    6. Well said..korek ka ati!

      Delete
    7. Yes if that's the case then the mother should have referred the school to the network/management instead of handling the affair on her own.

      Wrong pa rin si mader dear

      Delete
    8. My gosh! People nowadays are quick to judge..You don't even know the other side of the story..There could be a good reason kung bakit dinecline ni mudra other than TF issue.. Hindi naman yata pwede na basta basta na lang magperform yung bata porket for fundraising kuno.. Fundraising para ba sa ano? There's a lot of factors na dapat iconsider ano..

      -not a fantard, though

    9. Mukhang pera lang talaga ang mader. Yung school na yan big time din. Naging usap usapan yan sa PTA.

    1. He's endorsing a school that he's not studying in. So what's wrong with performing for a school na he's not studying in as well? PALUSOT.com

    2. Anon 1:42 it could be a breach of contract on his part. Baka nasa contract nya na since he's endorsing a school, he can't perform in other schools lalo na kung rival school ito. I'm not a fan, nag iisip lang.

      Delete
    3. the point is humihingi ng TF ung mudrakels. Kung breach of contract, di na dapat pumayag si mother in the first place

      Delete
    4. ANON 12:49 am and ANON 2:41 am, then the mother should've been upfront and said that hindi yung may paligoy ligoy pa sya. Fact is, nanghuhula lang din kayo.

    5. AnonymousOctober 23, 2014 at 2:41 AM

      kung breach of contract ang isa sa reasons, at kung meron ngang ganun, bakit ihihngi pa ng TF si mudra? Does it mean pag may bayad ng malaki ay walang breach of contract, pero pag pro bono,meron? Anong klaseng logic yon?

      Delete
    6. Eh bakit nag quote pa ng malaking halaga si Mader at nagbigay pa ng maraming excuses kung pwede naman palang tanggihan na lang nils yun in because of certain clauses in his endorsement?

      Delete
    7. @Anon 12:49am. The story is clear, they didn't want to perform because of TF issues. not because he is endorsing another school.

      Delete
    8. tama baka mag-conflict nga. pero ang i-eendorse ay yung charity event at hindi yung school so pwede ring hindi conflict. pero mahirap nga minsan palusutin yan kasi sa mga technicalitites. pero hindi pa rin excuse yun para humingi ng bayad. kasi kung ang talagang rason ay dahil sa contract-contract na yan e di sana hindi sya nag-charge in the first place at ang sinabi lang nya ay bawal po sa contract. the fact na nag-charge sya means pwede if the price is right. nag-iisip lang ng walang gustong paboran haha. agree ako sa comment na PALUSOT.com hahaha

      Delete
    9. Anon 2:41 kung may breach of contract why not tell the said school coordinator directly that D can't do it because of the said breach? Why even quote an amount? Thus it mean to say that if the school agreed on the amount then D can perform even with the impending breach? I'm not also a fan, nag iisip lang din. :D

    10. Anon 2:41 hindi mo ba nabasa? Nagquote agad si HM ng TF. Kung concern siya sa contract ng anak niya, edi sana tumanggi na siya nung una

  14. Aww. Akala ko ba ok itong si HM bilang galing sila sa hirap. I don't think na nakarating pa to kay D. Baka nga walang kaaalam-alam si D na tumanggi si mudra. Pero I heard ang laki talaga ng TF ni D ngayon, superstar levels daw. Grabe naman kasi ang faneys support talaga sa endorsements.

    ReplyDelete
  15. For sure si D ito. Parang nasilaw na ata ang nanay sa pera ah. hmmmm. Sa laki ba naman ng TF ngayon ni D talagang tatanggi ang ganyang kaliliit na charity events. Dapat libre na lang. Tsk Im a fan of D pa nman.

  18. fundraising campaign for a school? i think it depends what type of school and etc. if it was a charity then i would understand their dismay. pero school? towards what purpose?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Ginulo mo lang ang utak mo. For charity nga eh. Lalagyan pa ng ulterior motive ang something innocent like charity.

      Delete
    2. yes, schools do have fundraising events and usually for a good purpose. now, if they are afraid that the purpose would not be to their liking or it would be fraudulent, then they should have just asked what the school's purpose was. if that's their primary concern, then they should have just asked and not quoted a price. people, don't be blinded by your admiration for these artists. sometimes you just have to accept the fact that they make wrong decisions too and you don't have to give an arm and a leg to cover up for them. they don't even care. if you like them, then just accept that they have made an unpopular decision and just hope that they won't do it again. this won't tarnish K's reputation forever (and most definitely not D's) so don't be afraid this will start your idol's downfall.

  23. Si D ang TA and ang mudra ay si C, I think.

    Naconfirm ko sa quote sa huli "flower" - referring to involved person sa recent controversy. Kung totoo ito nakaklungkot kasi di ba bago sya sumikat di naman sila ganon kayaman, so now sana naman tumulong. Pero oh well, choice naman nya yun.

  37. Hindi ako fan ni D pero I don't think his mother would do that. Mukhang "wais" si madir at alam nya kung ano ang makakasama sa image ng anak niya. Tignan mo, ang bilis nya mag damage control when naging controversial anak nya.

    Usually, if di sila papayag mag appearance, they'll make up some lame excuse like busy, may taping or what not.

  38. Kung sa legit Charity or organisation I think is okay but sa school??? C'mon... Not a fan! But lawakan ang utak. Maybe a famous alumni would be better.

  40. if I were OC..kunin nya lng si J..madami din fans yun..im sure mkahelp s organization nila.. katapusan na etech ni TA.. yung HM ksi pkialamera.

    ReplyDelete
  41. If this is D I think there's another reason for it why they declined. D together with other artists will have a charity event and it was said that D didn't accept any payment and donated his TF to charity, so I don't think he'll decline that school event if it's really for charity.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Takot na kasi maghirap yang si madir kaya garapalan na sa pera.

    ReplyDelete
  43. well, what do u expect from the mother? si bagets ang pangkabuhayan showcase nila, so make hay while the sun shines!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I dont see the reason why they would be offended if a celebrity dont agree for an appearance in a charity event. You are asking A FAVOR in the first place. Nakikiusap ka lang, nung hindi pumayag ikaw pa galit?
