Drinks on Me

Over the years, Gorgeous Hunk (GH) has been making the most of his career opportunities. From a newbie in the industry who could hardly speak straight Filipino, GH has transformed his weakness and he can now be cast in roles easier. However, these days, GH seems to be in a career lull, but his network usually provides him with projects sooner or later.

One of the activities that GH has been observed to be fond of is bar-hopping. GH loves to hang out in bars and engages in small talk from one table to another. GH does not even know the guests, but he makes time to drop by a word of two. Subsequently, those guests are sometimes starstruck, as GH is a celebrity in his own right. Thus, GH would receive attention and be treated like a peer even by new people he had just met in the bar.

As GH is charming, he can easily win people over. Given his looks, GH is attractive and sometimes, people he approaches would be flattered. However, someone noticed that GH had an odd behavior while doing his usual table-hopping at bars. People in bars often have drinks on hand or on their table. Other than being with friends, unwinding and drinking are typical indulgences during the night. GH, who is a regular, already knows how to get a drink free. When he makes his way from table to table, GH was noticed to be grabbing a drink or two from the table of people he engages in conversations. Thus, GH gets his alcohol fill and does not even shell out a single cent. Before anyone can call his attention, reactions would be between shock and tolerance, as a celebrity was the one who drank anyway.

Meddlesome Actors

Although the production team would acknowledge that the flow of a series on TV comes from the collective brains of the writing pool and director, few would acknowledge that other parties can influence the outcome. To earn income, networks must have a strong programming lineup that would ensure viewership, and when viewership is high, advertisers scramble to place their ads. Thus, the program should attract viewers and a strategy is to place popular personalities in the cast.

Nonetheless, while the production team strives to entertain the viewers, several factors can affect their work. Even if the writers have a concrete and solid plan on how the story will flow, a suggestion or a request from someone can require revisions. Take the case of two popular celebrities in a network.

Male Personality (MP) has spent many years building his career and reputation. His work hours are impressive and MP took advantage of the break he was given to improve his craft. MP thus endeared himself to the production team and the network as well. During an early significant project, MP flexed his muscles when he felt uncomfortable with Fellow Lead (FL). Equally talented and appealing, FL can match or even surpass the acting of MP. One day, the production team got word of a request from MP. He wanted the scenes of FL to be reduced. Apparently, MP did not want to be overshadowed by FL. MP got his request and the writers went back to the drawing board.

Similarly, Female Celebrity (FC), who projects a goody-two-shoes image, might not be as innocent. In a project, FC shared top billing with Pretty Actress (PA). PA can act well regardless of the role. Even if she has a cameo, she will still give it her all. Meanwhile, FC is as reliable in the acting department, but in terms of fanbase, her network is wider than that of PA. That fact did not matter, as FC suggested certain revisions be done in their project. When PA read the last parts of her scenes in the project with FC, she could only wonder why her character was not included until the very end despite being a major player.

Repost: Lea Salonga Recalls Secret Wedding Day of Matteo Guidicelli and Sarah Geronimo

It seems there’s been a lot going on this past week. I thought what I called my birthday week would be somewhat uneventful, with just the usual filming of “The Voice Teens” battle round rehearsals and mentoring, plus personal celebrations before and after. Nope, that was definitely not the case.

When I showed up to start my workday on Friday, the building was in its usual state of hum and hubbub, except that every employee was dressed in white with ribbons on their chests in the colors of the ABS-CBN logo.

A solidarity rally was scheduled for that evening and everyone was unified with the dress code for the day. My filming day would end around the time the rally was to begin.

However, quiet would not be the word of the day. Not at all.

The day before, Thursday, there was already buzz that one of our beloved coaches Sarah Geronimo was getting married on this day in a secret ceremony somewhere in the metropolis.

I got an e-mail from my boss here at the Inquirer asking if there was any truth to it, and I answered with a, “Huh? She’s filming today!” I was in another part of the city getting ready for an event.

A lot of the staff at “The Voice” didn’t actually think it was true, because she was present and working without any sign of stress or rushing. A bunch of us were on Facebook jokingly discussing it, not thinking for even a minute that this whole wedding thing was anything but a sham.

Then, on Friday, as I was walking from my dressing room to the studio, the news that ended up reverberating throughout the city… and eventually the country… met us head-on: SHE GOT MARRIED! SHE ACTUALLY GOT MARRIED!

So many questions started firing from and in all directions: Where did it happen? What time did it happen? Who knew about it? How on earth did they keep it a secret?

But here’s the most important question for any of us to ask: Is she happy?

I would like to believe the answer to that question is yes.

Later that evening, as I was having supper with a bunch of friends close to home, a video call from her husband came in. I got to see her face, completely scrubbed of make-up, flashing a brand-new piece of hardware on her finger, with him flashing his own. And she looks happy. They both do. Truly, peacefully, undoubtedly happy.

To the new Mr. and Mrs. Guidicelli, my most heartfelt congratulations and best wishes!

Ohhhhhhh, this full week of taping is going to be so much fuuuuuuuun!
