Is this the actor's Downelink account or was his photo just used by someone else? Your guess is as good as mine.

Frankly Desirable

This desirable actor (DA) answered an ad in the personals section of a popular list abroad. DA sent his photos but hid under a fictitious name. DA and the male searcher hooked up several times. DA is top and does not kiss, according to the source.

Frankly, at first the searcher did not have a clue regarding the identity of DA until he saw this certain Filipino comedy film at a friend's place. When he got home, he researched online and found out DA is an actor and model in the Philippines.

Do you have an idea as to who this desirable actor is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them.

Out on Bail

FP’s attention was called by a group of designers (GD) who are unhappy with the outcome of the case of this family in the fashion industry. The stores of this family were trendsetters and even imitated by the rest at the height of its popularity.

GD laments that the board of directors, who belong to this family, are all out on bail after being indicted for allegedly pocketing the earnings of their stores. GD refutes the claim that the variety of stores closed down due to poor sales. Until the very end, the stores made money, ranging from 1M during lean months to as much as 2M to 3M in major malls.

Payments were either delayed or not made to the designers, rent, suppliers, and subcontractors, among others. Even GD remains unpaid until now. The little people (suppliers of accessories and subcontractors of those who made dresses for them) who have yet to be paid, have kept quiet as they did not want to be stressed out in pursuing the case.

GD remains steadfast in its cause for justice against this family. GD hates seeing some members of this family still living the high life in spite of what they have done.

Woo or Wah?

Hot actor (HA) is enjoying his share of the limelight these days. After one of the leading men in his teleserye had to take it easy, viewers quickly saw the chemistry HA had with his leading lady. In fact, viewers are hoping HA is wooing her and they really are an item. However, HA's new success has led to:

Woo: HA is a gentleman in taking care of his leading lady to the point that the director is getting jealous. HA is sincere with his feelings for his leading lady and will pursue her.

Wah: HA's success has gone to his head and is misbehaving. A director had to reprimand HA and that incident eventually embarrassed him. HA is not really interested in his leading lady outside of their teleserye.

So, which side will you take, woo or wah?

Letter from a Reader: Mixed-up My SIM

Dear FP,

As an avid reader of your blog, I have found your site as a considerable way to get our voices heard as consumers. I am going to forward this as well to the attention of NTC, but I believe that flagging this to your site first will substantially draw the attention my case deserves.

My horrible experience started when I signed up for a new line under my existing account last Jan 2nd in one of the malls in Pasig. The expectation was set for 24 to 48 hours to have it activated. Last Jan. 4, when 48 hours elapsed, I decided to have my brother follow this matter on my behalf by calling the telecom's hotline. He was advised that a ticket was logged to record this delayed concern and feedback will be given soon.

Two days later, there was still no return call. My brother followed up again. Soon after, he sought my help to call back if needed after the committed callback deadline of 3pm, as the line is under my name. We waited until 3:45pm, and by then I took over.

To make the long story short, I was denied several times of speaking to a supervisor or manager in their call center (outsourced to a local BPO firm) up until I was adamant in having my request expedited. The agent and the supervisor advised me to contact the branch where I filed my request as my need was beyond the call center's capabilities. However, the supervisor assured me that my request was already being addressed.

After a few minutes, the mobile number that was already existing and the one I was personally using to call them went out of service all of a sudden. Having worked for a Singaporean telco myself in the past, I suspected that an error in SIM mapping might have been the cause. So I tried and checked the inactive SIM that was meant for the activation of the new line, and I was right. My mobile number was transferred to this other SIM.

Things would have been more manageable on my part if only I wasn't using an iPhone 4S that requires a micro sim instead of the regular sized one. Due to their error, I had no way of using this newly activated SIM on my unit.

With this development, I was already blowing off my fuse and on the way to the nearest center to file a complaint, the supervisor suddenly called. She had a cheery tone and perhaps was horrified to learn of how things got seriously messed up. I asked for the number of the branch to get in touch with the same manager that I spoke with when I signed up for this new line.

While driving to the branch, I was able to reach the manager. In the midst of our heavy discussion, she informed me she was in the hospital. I made it clear that I have no intention of stressing her out further, so I requested to speak to her branch assistant. A few more minutes later, I got a call from a woman who got me more irritated because it seemed she had no sense of the gravity of my concern. I was losing business because my mobile cannot be contacted due to their error.

I hope this brings attention to how poorly this telecom service is treating its customers. No wonder people are switching to the other telecom.

Yours truly,

P.G. 

Pay Up Boy!

The TV host/actor owned a networking business engaged in telecommunications. He hired a contractor to do all the paper ads,tarps, stickers, fliers, etc. He paid the first 50% at the onset of the transaction. The contractor delivered but the tv host/actor did not. The agent tried to collect the balance but it was quite a useless challenge. The business of the tv host/ actor went down and he left the contractor unpaid with around 80k.

What's Her Preference?

Her godmother warned that questions or comments from the press regarding this young celebrity's (YC) sexuality are to be ignored. However, rumors are quite persistent that something more is happening between her and a female foreign member (FM) of her entourage.

Recently, a friend overheard FM sweetly saying to YC, "oh baby, you are getting wet" (or something to that effect), when YC just got out of the rain. Later, the friend sent a message to YC to ask if YC and FM are more than friends. YC immediately blocked her friend on Twitter.

Is this action a defensive confirmation that something is indeed going on? Your guess is as good as mine.

Please observe the guidelines in writing comments and remember that initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted. Follow MicSyLim on Twitter for the latest update.

Letter from a Reader: Not an Amiable Place

Dear Fashion PULIS,

Let me share our unfortunate incident in paradise with you and your readers. I hope this serves as a warning to all your readers.

Upon arrival, our group saw a placard having the name of the guests held by the driver of this resort. The group was informed that the transfer was part of our package and that we should ride with him. The group cancelled its pre-arranged booking with a certain transport company and opted for a more comfortable ride with the resort driver. The European owner even went to pick up the group at the jetty port.

While asking the front desk about additional charges for transfers to Kalibo en route to Manila, the European owner told the group to pay for the earlier transfers. To cut the long story short, the resort staff made a mistake and even apologized over the phone and sent the organizer of the group an apology letter stating that they will waive all transport fees due to the miscommunication.

At the end of the trip, after settling the bill consisting of accomodation, food, massages, bar expenses, etc.- which amounted to more than 300,000 pesos, the owner demanded the group to pay the one way transfers amounting to less than 10,000 pesos. After a long, heated argument, explaining to him that it was his transport staffs fault, he let the group leave his resort right away. Pointing to the door, he said, "Thank you for cheating me a few thousands" the European owner said in front of his staff, other guests, and the kids.

The group gave them good business and he opted to be rude and unprofessional to his customers. By the way, he also reprimanded the kids for running around the beach with the resort's beach towels. We also noticed that he seemed friendlier to his American and European guests. Call it discrimination?

Lastly, 5 people in our group were food poisoned after eating in this resort's restaurant. How bad can it get?

Yours truly,

Ann C.

Seen on TV

Their back-to-back dance numbers delighted the studio audience. As they were being interviewed, he kept his cool and just smiled. Her face changed when the emcees positioned them to be nearer. The tension can be felt because she could not smile and avoided eye contact with him. As the camera panned, the other performers kept screaming and making gestures for them to kiss. They shook hands but the teasing continued. He moved to her and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Not Seen on TV

At the backstage, the girl was hysterically crying as if someone close to her had died. People noticed her and she is not denying that she indeed cried. She even said there is nothing to worry about.

Did she cry because she is still hurting for being left just coldly? Did she weep because she realized he is missing in her life? Your guess is as good as mine.
