During a studio tour, visitors got a good view of how things were run in a network. Perhaps the success of this network is in the independence of its program departments that are segregated based on the genre. On that day, the visitors noticed that the point person (PP) of the comedy group (CG) seemed to be a bit irate. However, being a professional, PP toured the group and gave a glimpse of the responsibilities that go with the work.
The mobile phone of PP rang, and apparently, PP was informed of a minor problem with the audience during the taping of a comedy show. One of the audience raised a dirty finger, which the camera captured. PP sighed with relief as that part could be edited. Of course, PP had to be careful as the network would not want a repeat of the nonchalant cursing of a studio audience in their live show.
After a while, the phone rang again. This time, the tour group saw how PP got more irate. One of the staff called PP to inform the head that virile actor (VA) threatened not to show up in the taping of his comedy show if his drama series will not be returned to its original time slot. PP had to call VA and explain to him that the decision of the drama department is not within PP’s powers. PP had to beg VA to stay with the comedy show, but based on her reaction, VA seemed to be adamant to leave the comedy show if his condition will not be granted.
Then, PP blurted out, to the shock of the tour group, “Well, if you do not want to return to the show, fine! I’ll just look for your replacement!”
Now, does VA think he is really that important to the network? VA already did a few actions that made viewers and netizens uncomfortable and turned off recently. Of course, his network did not have an official statement regarding his stunts, and it was assumed that management was cool about them. Incidentally, the comedy show has garnered awards, commendable ratings, and an indefinite run, while his drama series is also garnering ratings but has a more definite period for running.
As we ask if VA will make good on his threat, he was missed in the last episode, and a quick check on the wikipage of the comedy show has interesting information – the absence of VA in the current cast list. Moreover, his drama series is still on a later time.
The once invincible golfer, Tiger Woods, seems to have learned that “money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.” Will VA ever learn?

It Pays to Keep Your Cool

Every election campaign season is a test of patience and endurance both for the candidates and the electorate as well. The candidates to survive the agonizing rigors of the campaign trail, and the electorate to endure the kind of candidates' profiles thrown at them – those that they see and hear on television, radio, and in social media every minute of their waking hours.
Candidates make sure no stones are unturned to be able to get that much-coveted seat. All that dancing, singing, “smiling like idiots” (to quote from Sen. Miriam Santiago) are clear manifestations as to the extent these candidates will go through for those very precious votes. Needless to say, the bottomless cash that keep changing hands from the top one up there to the lowliest kid on the street.
If only for these, elections are definitely more fun (and more funds) in the Philippines.
If you have insufficient cash and connections, it will be very hard to keep up with the game. That is why candidates take years to prepare and strategize. Strategizing will not only need money, but tons of patience as well. Veterans or newbies alike, candidates need a lot of exposure in all areas of media – print, radio, tv, social networks. Constant and relevant media exposure is battle half-won.
At a taping for a new network program for election candidates, a Political Reelectionist couldn’t hide his disgust and impatience after having been made to wait for his turn to be interviewed on the program. He was complaining about the long wait and wanted to be put on cue right away. Program staff had already explained to him that such couldn’t be accommodated since it was on a “first come-first served “ basis. But PR wouldn’t hear of it and without any warning, he walked out of the show -- still ranting non-stop.
All candidates go through a lot of sacrifices. Yet this early, PR wants to feel special. Wonder why he had to behave that way. Hasn't his years of battle to win a struggle not taught him that patience is indeed a virtue?
