Standing Firm

A Network Executive (NE) was surprised at the request of Versatile Actor (VA). Since the time the go-signal to resume work was given for productions, teams have been extra-careful in following pandemic protocols. Swab tests, quarantine measures, and even production shutdown have been implemented to ensure safety in lock-in shoots. The untimely deaths of production people attributed to covid-19 have further escalated the measures.

VA asked NE for a 100% increase in his daily rate. VA cited that covid-19 was claiming lives left and right and he wants to secure his finances in case he might be hit by the virus during the project. NE said that higher management will have to be consulted. However, NE said that VA’s request might not be approved given that production teams have been implementing strict measures. VA said that his lawyer advised him to back out or ask for a raise given the covid risk.

After some time, VA followed up his request. NE said that the legal advice is to stick to the stipulations of the signed contract. In case VA gets hit by covid, the management has group insurance to shoulder hospitalization. Besides, doubling his rate is too much. VA was then told to take it or leave it, and he can opt to buy back his contract if he wants to. VA did not respond.

    4. Yung papansin D. The shorter D(with lots of acting awards under his belt) is more sensitive with regards to the current situation as opposed to the taller D.

  8. Could be A. When he couldnt get what he wanted, he agreed to still do the show without the increase. The FP article didnt mention if the actor was replaced or if he continued with threat to back out.

    1. basahin mo ulit. humihingi ng increase to secure his finances pag nagkasakit. secured na secured finances ni A dahil may businesses sya at property investment. also, since nag start ang covid last 2020,wala syang pahinga sa tv projects at endorsements so may nadagdag sa savings nya.
