Like or Dislike: Ruffa Gutierrez for Metro

Metro magazine’s September issue is set to take readers on yet another international adventure as it highlights the beauty, bravado, and boldness of Italian fashion. This month, we take you on a journey of style as we welcome the new fashion season with the Autumn/Winter 2013 collections of some of Italy’s biggest names: Gucci, Emporio Armani, Salvatore Ferragamo, Bottega Veneta, and Furla—first to be seen in Metro. Juxtaposed against the Tuscan city that is called home by greats such as Dante Alighieri, Sandro Boticelli, and Michelangelo’s David, Florence provided the picture perfect backdrop for our biggest fashion issue of the year. From the dramatic piazzas and historic bridges to the vineyards and villas that show authentic Florentine landscapes, the Metro team orchestrated each picture to show the story we wanted to tell—an Italian contessa, a chic seductress, a woman who embodies the fullness of the Florence lifestyle.

This was a woman who flourished under the spotlight, a fashion persona to be reckoned with, a star who dominates everywhere she goes—none other than Philippine entertainment royalty, Ruffa Gutierrez. An actress, television host, multi-brand endorser, fashion icon, and former beauty queen, Ruffa’s statuesque presence and vivacious personality made her the perfect choice for our September issue. Ruffa took on the character of our heroine, turning heads and drawing a crowd of admirers everywhere we went in Florence.

In this issue, Metro also showcases the best of the Italian collections in a spectacular fashion editorial shot on the streets of Florence. Get ready to imbibe the top trends of A/W 2013 with our comprehensive fashion and beauty trend reports, plus learn what products you should stock up on for the colder months ahead (hint: It’s all about glitz and crimson!). Metro is available nationwide for P150. Like Metro on Facebook (www.facebook.com/Metro.Magazine) and follow us on Twitter and Instagram (@MetroMagPH)

Is She Justified for Asserting Herself?

Network veteran NV’s recent issues with her network HN had sent some tonques wagging amid speculations over the real issues that NV wanted to raise regarding her status in the network.

The recent blow that befell her show had many people in the production involved expressing their disgust over its fate. In front of NV, they seemed okay, but deep within, they were very disheartened knowing that the show was rating well. Reportedly, majority of the talents have also expressed disappointment towards NV for what happened. They assumed that something big must have bothered NV and the show became the sacrificial lamb.

Both PT and the show’s talents felt strongly about loss of income resulting from its unfortunate demise. While others secretly blame NV for being overtaken by her emotions, others also point to NV’s handler for allegedly being the one behind her drastic decision.

Right now, NV is reportedly asking for new terms on her contract. She would not be asking for an increase in talent fee but she wants 2 things:

1.Play or pay contract - meaning she will be paid for a project but if the project gets cancelled for some reason not of her doing, the she will still be paid the same contracted amount. If HN will not agree with play or pay, NV wants a non-exclusive contract.

2. NV’s teleserye timeslot should be on primetime, not in the afternoon or weekend programming. Primetime means program will be aired at reasonable time at least within 1st or 2nd program after the early evening news but not in the late hours.

HN has reportedly not yet responded to NV’s new terms. There are talks that should HN not agree to it, NV is certain of transferring network.
