Unrelenting actress UA is often accused as cold and distant towards her fans HF especially those she meets in public. There had been many eyewitness accounts claiming that even picture-taking requests from UA is like asking for the moon.

One day while out in public, HF approached UA to have a photo with her. Instantly, UA got irritated, turned to her group and ranted in her dialect, “These people are so irritating. They’re always drooling at movie stars, always running after us!”

Turned out, the fan heard and understood what UA said – and in a language UA spoke, the fan retorted, “ Your attitude sucks!”

UA was flabbergasted, didn’t know what to do. Unfortunately for her, many people witnessed what happened, and like UA were shocked, too.

There are actually several anecdotes about UA displaying these attitudes. There was an incident when UA’s group was shooting in a prominent province in the South. The shoot was done in a local parish church. Again, UA was not in her pleasant mood, looking annoyed and making her displeasure felt towards the people there.

Her demeanor reached the head of the parish HP who got enraged and insulted. He lamented that other equally popular stars would also visit them and do shoots there, but none have shown an attitude as that of UA’s. In fact, he found other stars kind and respectful. Thus, upon learning of UA’s conduct, HP made a vow never to issue them permit anymore the next time a tv show or movie with UA in it shoots in their place.

One person known to UA quipped that being nice to fans is not asking too much. He believed that had UA been friendly and from the very beginning, she wouldn’t be so bashed as she is now. To which another replied that asking for UA to be nice and all would be laughable because she’s just not cut out for it.

A Quezon City Court has ruled in favor of Esabella Cabrera, winner of 1997 Mutya ng Pilipinas beauty pageant who got unceremoniously dethroned and stripped of her crown.

Pageant Organizer, Miss Asia Pacific Quest Inc. and former head Leandro Enriquez, Carousel Productions Inc. and former head Ramon Monzon; co-organizer Lorraine Schuck and 1997 Mutya ng Pilipinas 1st runner-up Sheryll Moraga were ordered to pay Php1.1 Million in damages to Cabrera.

Moraga was the one who replaced Cabrera and assumed the beauty title and crown, including all the prizes therein that should have otherwise gone to the latter.

Assisting Judge Maria Rita Bascos Sarabia of the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 221 rendered favorable decision on the civil suit filed by Cabrera reiterating that Cabrera's getting dethroned was done without due process.

Cabrera was crowned during the pageant held at Folk Arts Theater on May 3, 1997 and won prizes totalling Php 400,000. She was also crowned as Miss Avon and Miss Lux that gave her P10,000 in prizes each, plus commercial modeling contracts from the said cosmetics and beauty product companies.

It was learned that Cabrera was stripped of the crown after Shuck heard that Cabrera was about to get married to her then boyfriend.

Inspite of being told that what she heard was not true, Shuck allegedly forced her to resign and disown the title because Cabrera was also suspected of being pregnant, and thus she wouldn't be able to accomplish her responsibilities as Mutya ng Pilipinas winner.
