Determined, but Ditched

One thing that is admirable about the team of Gritty Talent (GT) is the determination to picture her as a successful part of her network’s pool. Although GT is goal-oriented, obstacles seem to be in her way that prevent her from achieving success this early in her career, or at the very least, reach the achievements of her contemporaries.

Similar to the test path for increasing fame, GT has been paired with young male talents that her fans like for her. However, none of the boys stayed long enough for various reasons. Being young, their attitudes would clash and separating feelings from professionalism was still hard. Peer pressure from non-showbiz friends even affected the attitude of the male ex-partners.

During an event that was to showcase the talent of GT, press releases indicated that all tickets have been sold out. While the news was true, an alleged claim continues to hover the event. Allegedly, her team bought most of the tickets and were given away without charge to GT’s fans. Thus, GT was assured of a captive audience in her not-so-big venue. With the ‘success’, her management was indeed happy, after all, most effort came from her camp, outside of her network.

Incidentally, GT was unhappy at the ditching of a Male Talent (MT) for his stint as a guest at the said event. This rejection prodded GT to release her angst in social media. Well, MT has his strong backers and he can very well charter his own course without having to rely on a loveteam. Somehow, MT just does not click with GT and they seem to rub each other off cam the wrong way. It’s just too bad that the fans were beginning to like him for her as a loveteam partner

‘Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.’ –Calvin Coolidge

Repost: Eddie Garcia Might be Taken Off His Life Support System

More than 96 hours after the accident on the Tondo set of a GMA 7 soap last Saturday noon, Eddie Garcia has remained comatose and is dramatically deteriorating even if he has been on life support machine at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Makati Medical Center (MCC) where he was transferred early Sunday morning from the Mary Johnston Hospital.

Eddie and co-stars playing cops, among them Jestoni Alarcon and Romnick Sarmenta, were shooting a gunfight scene against goons. In the ABS-CBN series FPJ’s Ang Probisyano, Eddie’s role as mafia head Don Emilio is mostly “sedentary” so he isn’t made to move a lot.

At MCC, Eddie was placed under a 48-hour “critical observation” and STAR sources said that as of press time, he was unresponsive, practically brain dead, even if his heart continues to function normally. His condition was described as “Glasgow coma, the lowest rate.” 

“He was declared DOA (Dead On Arrival) at the first hospital,” said Eddie’s long-time partner of 33 years Lillibeth Romero who was talking to The STAR about the tragic incident for the first time. “I learned that when he stumbled on a cable wire and hit his head on the pavement, he broke his spinal cord. It was the ‘freakest’ of accidents that could have been prevented.”  

During the confusion at Mary Johnston, Lillibeth’s son Nikki Romero was swamped with inquiries about what really happened and said it could have been a heart attack, which was later corrected after doctors at Mary Johnston checked Eddie and said he didn’t suffer a heart attack at all. GMA 7 sources issued what was purported to be an “official family statement” based on what Nikki said, only to clarify in a succeeding statement that it was investigating what really happened despite a graphic video clip that went viral only minutes after the accident.

“Eddie was revived at Mary Johnston and moved to Makati Med where my uncle, Dr. Enrique Lagman, confirmed that he suffered neither a heart attack nor an aneurism,” added Lillibeth who has booked a room so she could watch over Eddie and entertain visiting friend and relatives. “I was asked if I wanted to have Eddie resuscitated but I bided my time. I might make a decision this afternoon (yesterday).”

Although she said that she was not blaming anybody for the accident and was even thanking the people who lifted (the unconscious) Eddie from the pavement and carried him to a passing cab, Lillibeth said that (the GMA 7) management should have assigned a medic or a standby vehicle on the set.

She was saddened by the fact that nobody from GMA 7 was “manning the set” and noted that some of those who helped Eddie had no shirt on, obviously bystanders.

“I was told that the accident happened on the third shoot of the same scene from another angle,” related Lillibeth, “and they should have checked the condition of the street and if cable wires were scattered all around. It was an accident that could have been prevented.”

As of yesterday afternoon, Lillibeth hadn’t talked with the GMA 7 management yet.

According to GMA executive Lilybeth Rasonable, GMA has been in touch with the family of Eddie since Day 1.

Lillibeth recalled that Eddie left home at 5 o’clock that Saturday morning after a breakfast of cereals and bananas.

“He reminded the maid to wake him up at 4 o’clock. At the breakfast table, I even kidded him, ‘Uy, you will be the earliest to arrive on the set again ha. He was never late, always the first to arrive on the set, always prepared for the day’s shoot.”

A few hours later, according to Lillibeth, she called Eddie’s driver and bodyguard to check if Eddie was waiting for a “take” at a comfortable place. It was so hot and the shoot was done outdoors on Vitas St. in Tondo.

“I rest assured when they told me that Eddie was in an air-conditioned tent.”

Lillibeth revealed that Eddie was in the pink of health since they undergo executive check-up once every three months. 

“His blood pressure and blood sugar were normal,” said Lillibeth, “and he even campaigned (for a party list) in last May 13 elections, staying under the oppressive sun for hours. I was with him, prepared with towels, drinks and sandwiches. So I was devastated when I saw that accident on the video clip. And it had to happen in line of work! I saw the video only once and I don’t want to see it again.”

Asked if she felt any premonition, Lillibeth said no.

“Nothing unusual the night before and the morning of that day,” said Lillibeth, choking back emotion. “Everything was the usual. As he used to, he was smiling when he bade me goodbye. At the ICU, I keep on whispering to him, never mind if he doesn’t respond at all, not even with a slight movement of his fingers.”

Making Sure

Image courtesy of www.123rf.com

Experienced Actress (EA) is in a precarious position these days. Her role in a network’s top series was not supposed to go very far, as the original plot allegedly had her character killed off. With no project in sight, EA’s source of income would have been cut and add to her financial woes. EA, then, had to think of a solution fast or else she might fall into the trap of despondency again.

Humbly, EA talked with Influential Talent (IT), who might be able to persuade the management to extend her role in the series. EA admitted that none of her children is giving her support, as they fear she would just use their money to fend for her other needs. They told her to stop her habit and stay away from casinos. However, EA did not take their word seriously and now, instead of relaxing through her older years, she has to work harder. Similarly, her management gave the same condition, that is, if she gets involved in anything prohibitive, the opportunity given to her will be revoked. Sadly, the effects of substance abuse are seen in her acting and facial expressions.

Taking a chance on IT’s value to the network, EA explained her situation. She could not ask any financial help from IT, as she has been allowed to stay in IT’s home without rent. IT understood the situation of EA and promised to see what can be done on her part.

IT approached Top Honcho (TP) to intercede on behalf of EA. TP was very much aware of the past and present life of EA. TP knows about the bad habits of EA that almost ruined her career. In the same breath, TP also knows the competence of EA and a good actress is hard to turn down, which is the reason the network considered her for the role. IT suggested if the project could incorporate the role of EA in the story, instead of killing her off immediately. EA would continue fixing her life to ensure she will not let the station down.

Things were resolved and IT managed to touch the heart of TP. EA is still working and her character is still alive in the project. Of course, the question of whether EA has truly turned her back away from her bad habits remains to be seen.
