More Questions Than Answers

Image courtesy of www.westhavenbob.blogspot.com

How true is the buzz that balikbayan celebrity (C) was indeed paid a very substantial interview fee by a network? The original network, which wanted to interview C, turned down the idea when C asked for almost a million. By this time, more questions were generated by the interview of C.

First, the publicity said the male host will be conducting the interview. It turned out that a guest female host (FH) did the interview. Did the brother of C have a hand in this? The other hosts were disappointed that FH conducted the interview even if she was just a guest host during the show. Second, why was the interview geared towards an interest as to whether C had completed the reassignment? At least, C was smart enough to say that whatever is in between the legs is a private matter.

If you watched the interview over the weekend, do you think the interview of C was worth it or did it smell of gimmickry for the survival of the show?

Letter from a Reader: Repeatedly Ignored

Image courtesy of www.badideatshirts.com 

Dear FP,

I've been using my prepaid number since 1999. I've kept this number because it's easy to memorize. Even if my family and friends have changed their mobile numbers many times, they still know my number by heart. But with the disappointing turn of events lately, I'm starting to have a change of mind.

My dilemma started last week of February. I was in the NAIA Airport last February 25 for my flight to New York. I registered for international roaming and got a confirmation. When I arrived in the US, my phone could not pick up any signal. I've been trying to do manual signal connection for days but to no avail. So I tweeted the customer service to raise my concern and they were able to address my issue and connected me to international roaming.

I came back March 12, 11 PM. Upon arriving in Manila, I deactivated my international roaming. I got a confirmation from that it was deactivated. Then, I immediately registered to avail of the one week free calls and text. The response says they cannot accomodate my request and I have to check this certain plan that is for postpaid account.

March 13. I tried connecting the whole day but still the same response. I called the hotline for support but told me just to try it again and again because the current promo might have high volume of users. I also tweeted the customer service and sent them a DM but got no response.

March 14. I got a reply from the customer after 25 hours. I gave my mobile number and they told me that I will be given feedback within 24 hours. I called the hotline again and they told me that a report was submitted for my concern.

March 15. I tweeted the customer service. My tweets were ignored. I called the hotline and told me that their maximum time for resolution is 2 days.

March 16. I tweeted the customer service but still ignored. I called the hotline and told me that they will escalate my issue to their supervisor to prioritize my issue.

March 17. I tweeted and sent a DM to the customer service but my tweets and DMs were ignored. Called the hotline and still no feedback on my issue from their support team. Promised to escalate the issue.

March 18. Tweet and DM ignored by the customer service. Agent from hotline still promised to prioritize my issue.

It's so frustrating that they have been ignoring my tweets and DM. I just hate that they say they will resolve the issue within 2 days but never even gave me a feedback. The least they could do is to acknowledge or give a few words about the issue. I may be a prepaid user but I have been using this for 13 years already.

Thanks FP.

Yours,
J. Rivera

The Confession That Will Never Be Heard

Image Courtesy of www.connect.redesignme.com 

Recently, media personality (MP) staged a public proposal to his new girlfriend. His followers were surprised as they were more familiar with his long-term relationship with another woman. While MP and the bride to be are happy with the engagement, there is a sad story behind this. In the course of their relationship, he got her pregnant but the would-have-been first child was never born. The reason was that she was still young and studying then.

MP gained fame for giving advice to his listeners and confessions of his listeners. He did some appearances in other media but his followers could not generate the needed ratings to sustain a daily show.

Do you know who MP is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

GMA Network's Response to PFF Statement About Arnold Clavio

Image courtesy of www.gmanetwork.com

Below is the official response from GMA Network to the statement of the Philippine Football Federation about Arnold Clavio:


Kamakailan, inireklamo ng sexual harassment ang dalawang miyembro ng Philippine Azkals ni dating Philippine Olympic Committee President Cristy Ramos, anak ni dating Pangulong Ramos.

Nitong Martes, napag-usapan po sa Unang Hirit ang sexual harassment complaint ni Cristy Ramos laban sa dalawang miyembro ng Azkals kung saan nagbigay ang ilang hosts ng kani-kanilang opinyon.

Kahapon, nakatanggap ang GMA Network ng liham mula sa Philippine Football Federation o PFF kung saan inireklamo ang mga komentaryo nina Arnold Clavio at Rhea Santos sa kanilang programa.

Nais po linawin ng GMA Network na ang mga inirereklamong pahayag ay hindi bahagi ng aming news reporting kung saan tanging mga statement of facts ang ibinabalita at kung saan walang puwang ang pagbibigay ng opinyon ng mga host. Ang mga inireklamong pahayag ay unscripted discussion ng Unang Hirit hosts sa commentary segment ng programa kung saan sila ay nagpalitan ng opinyon at nagbigay ng kani-kanilang pananaw tungkol sa naturang issue.

Nalulungkot po ang GMA Network na iba ang naging intindi ng Philippine Football Federation sa mga sinabi ni Arnold. Ang pinapatungkulan ni Arnold ay hindi kung Filipino citizen o kung may lahing Pilipino ang mga Azkals kundi kung naisapuso at naisaisip ba nila ang kulturang Pinoy.

Ang issue na tinalakay sa Unang Hirit ay sexual harassment—isang mahalagang issue kung saan matindi ang paninindigan ng mga host. Meron pong karapatan sina Arnold, Rhea at iba pang host na ihayag ang kanilang opinyon, isang karapatang pinoprotektahan ng ating Saligang Batas. Sang-ayon man kami o hindi sa kanilang opinyon, ang karapatan nilang ihayag ito ay kinikilala ng GMA Network tulad ng aming pagrespeto sa karapatan ng publiko at maging ng PFF na maghayag ng kanilang opinyon—basta ang nasabing opinyon ay hindi labag sa batas.

Sa liham ng Philippine Football Federation, sinabi nilang racist, discriminatory, libelous at malicious ang mga pahayag nina Arnold Clavio at Rhea Santos. Pero ang GMA Network po, walang nakitang racist, walang discriminatory, walang libelous at walang malicious sa mga komentaryo nina Arnold at Rhea.

Official statement of Arnold Clavio on the Azkals issue:

GMA News anchor Arnold Clavio responds to criticisms about the recent remarks he made about the sexual harassment case currently faced by some members of the Philippine Azkals:

Mga igan, nakakalungkot na may negatibong reaksyon ang naging pahayag ko tungkol sa Philippine Azkals kaugnay ng sexual harassment complaint ni Ms. Cristy Ramos. Wala po akong ganoong intensyon. Ang isyu po rito ay sexual harassment at kung may nagamit man po akong mga salita na hindi angkop, nagpapakumbaba po ako at humihingi ng pang-unawa. Dun naman po sa mga kasama kong nanindigan laban sa sexual harassment, maraming salamat po. Seryoso pong isyu ito na dapat bantayan.

-Arnold Clavio

Getting Attention

Image Courtesy of www.cartoonstock.com 

One of the networks chose to build up this young performer (P) as its prime star. P was given the lead in highly-publicized TV projects with the best casts the network can afford. Even if P had drama assignments, she still did comedy and hosting jobs for the network. Even if her shows did not do well, P still kept her privileged position. She felt she was the princess of the network and she behaved like one.

Other than the “princess” attitude getting into her head, P has a reputation of seeking attention and wanting to be the center of events. If she does not like who she’s working with, P makes it a point to let that person feel her discomfort. For instance, a staff was handing her an invitation. While the staff stood in front of her, she asked a barrage of questions, such as if she really needed that invitation for her entry to the event. In the end, P embarrassed the staff, whose job was merely to deliver the invitation.

While working on a soap, P often arrived late on the set. When asked why she was late, she said rudely that she went to a coffee shop first. Then, she would take her time before stepping out of her car as she still had to put on make-up. The lack of professionalism on P’s part did not escape the attention of a respected actress (RA), who played a significant role in the said soap. What infuriated RA was the fact that P made them wait for two hours on the set. RA gave P a mouthful and ranted that she (P) was just a newcomer who had no right to make anyone wait and that she should learn respect. The incident with RA rattled P to a point that she was uncomfortable on the set. Worse, she wanted her character to be killed off, which was quite impossible because she was playing the lead role.

Do you know who P and RA are? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Open for Booking

This muscled model turned occasional actor (MM) has a sideline. MM is available for bookings for US$400. The catch is – he does it in the US. In Manila, MM models and appears in TV and movies. In print or onramp, he is a favorite model for underwear. He has acted in a couple of movies and appeared in a reality show, among others. MM hardly has promo pictures showing him fully clothed (except when he was part of a wholesome fantasy teleserye).

Lacking in Refinement and Grace

Image courtesy of www.photoshopfiles.com

In a formal dinner party, the behavior of a host writer (HW) broke the rules of social graces. When HW saw he was seated next to a socialite food expert, he switched her name card and reasoned that they were not close so she had to be moved. He wanted his groupies to be seated next to him. However, the socialite chef knew her original seat. The other socialites saw what he did and whispered among themselves of his lack of respect.

During dinner, the guests were praising the fashion sense of one of the socialites. As if on cue, one of the groupies in the circle of HW started saying things that diverted the attention of the guests to her. The socialites started talking among themselves of the presumptuous behavior of this group, who thinks the world revolves around them.

Do you know who HW is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

On Purpose or a Miscue?

Image courtesy of www.susiessentences.blogspot.com

In a number with a female entertainer (FE), a female singer (FS) went ahead of her entrance cue. The original cue was for FS to step out only when it was her turn for the duet, which was about a minute after the part of FE. FE had to establish her moment first. 

However, FS showed herself just as FE was only about to begin her song. As fans were already screaming, the lights had to brighten more to accommodate both of them. Focus then shifted to FS even if FE was still singing. 

As to why FS came out too early, she probably did not want to miss a thing unless she did it on purpose just to remind everyone who the true concert princess is from the very start.

Do you know who FE and FS are? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Cruel in Real Life

Image courtesy of www.cruelgirl.com

As is common knowledge in showbiz - screen villains are mostly good and nice people in real life. Well, it holds true to some extent. But not to this senior actress (SA) who's reel persona isn't that far from the real one.

SA is a regular customer of a big garden shop in an upscale community. She would drop by there regularly to buy some plants for her garden needs. She's a hard bargainer, too. In fact, her bargaining stance is always coupled with brash treatment she gives people who attend to her at the shop.

The staff/gardeners at the shop are already used to her not-so-pleasant treatment of them, as if they were her own househelp. She would demand arrogantly how she would want her plants handled, as if the trained staff are ignorant on what to do.

In one of her visits, a familiar man at the shop volunteered to attend to her...for the first time. And as expected, SA was her usual annoying self, throwing her weight around. Luck must be smiling on her as the guy remained obedient and unaffected, or was he just blessed with the patience?

But hold on. SA's comeuppance would come a little later. As the guy was carrying her goods to her waiting vehicle, she ordered him in an abrupt tone, "Hurry up! Watch out, do not ruin my plants!"

The poor guy dutifully obeyed. At which instance, SA asked him, "Hey, what's your name and what do you do here?" The maligned guy, softly answered, " I own this shop, Madam."

Poll: Do You Think They Look Alike?

Fuerza Bruta - Girl's Night

The Handless Maiden

The host/actress/singer (HAS) staged her own scene upon her arrival at the backstage of an event. Immediately, she demanded the make-up artist, hair stylist, etc. attend to her. Then, she instructed her PA to get her hand lotion. The onlookers were stunned when the PA applied and rubbed the lotion on the arms of HAS as if on cue. Some of them said it was as though HAS had no hands to do such a task herself.

Did she lose track of time such that she was in a hurried behavior that day? Or was she stressed out as she might have already discovered the questionable photos of her boyfriend?

HAS is well-loved on camera because of her talent and wit. Her candid response sometime ago unwittingly fanned the flames of a controversy. That was a rare moment as she was at a loss for words when the audience and the other hosts laughed at what she said.

Do you know who HAS is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Mean and Loud

Another blunder to the saying not to judge a book by it's pretty cover. A good-looking showbiz reporter (SR) from a major network is an example. This lady's public demeanor was a big let-down.

She was just done covering a contract-signing event of a big management agency. As she headed out with her crew, while waiting for her turn at the elevator, she seemed to be calling attention to herself by talking a lot to a gay companion about everything gossip.

While already inside that packed elevator, people thought she'd calm down and zip her mouth. But that wasn't so. For she continued her gossip, this time gloatingly. The topic? The most-talked about Girlfriend in town. As if bragging to one and all the latest update that time -- about how this certain office strongly admonished GF's manager for granting too much media interviews concerning her relationship.

Contradicting her sophisticated facade, SR's déclassé demeanor drew a lot of sneers from elevator passengers.

Not the Greatest of All Time

Radio Personality (RP) met Stunning Actress (SA) twice and got two different reactions from her. In the first incident, SA smiled at RP as he was stepping out of his mini-cooper. RP approached SA and took advantage of the opportunity to chat with her. RP has a reputation of being a smooth talker so it was easy for him to converse with her. They talked for about 20 minutes. SA even said she listened to his show.

The second incident happened a few days later when RP saw SA again. This time, RP was in his Honda Civic. He pulled over near SA, got down, and said hello to her. SA looked at him from head to foot with no expression. Then, SA walked away. RP was stunned at the attitude of SA. A few days ago, she was so gracious but now, she did not even recognize him.

Other than dabbling in radio with two other jocks, RP has modelled for certain advocacies. SA is known for her behavior in public, which some people attribute to her attempts at being accepted in the social circle. Incidentally, her partner and RP have something in common (and this has nothing to do with cars).

Payments are Due

Image courtesy of www.discountletting.co.uk

Is it true that the head of a talent agency got arrested for not paying employee dues to a government agency? According to a source, the head posted bail to avoid spending the weekend in jail. The family also wanted to keep the event a secret and not have the press prying into what transpired. The said agency is still active and handles the career of a few talents, including some relatives.

This story comes as a wonder because apparently the political connections of the head did not stop the court from serving the warrant. Hopefully, the head can clear and hurdle this legal battle without expending too much energy.

Do you know who the head of the agency is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

She's Popularly Stingy

Image courtesy of www.farahinzuhairi.blogspot.com

Sometime ago, this once immensely popular celebrity couple, (girl GC and boy BC), now separated, put up for sale their conjugal home in a subdivision somewhere in the south. Another couple, movie director/producer, known for true-to-life, sensational movies offered to buy the mansion for close to P40M.

Transaction was done quick. BC was unbelievably over-generous, didn't take a cent from the proceeds of the sale, and gave everything to GC and their kids.

The very lucky GC, whose star had already dimmed for years, not only pocketed the big pot. Known in the industry as very stingy even during her heydey, GC also sold most of their appliances, including the personal belongings of BC, from his shoes to his undergarments (even those that were too old to be sold).

BC's career also dimmed for a while, but is now so back having projects left and right - big thanks to his new management. Which could probably explain why he chose not to dip his fingers anymore from the sale of their property.

Do you know who GC is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Out in the Open

These photos of a gay performer (GF) with a basketball player (BP) are making rounds in the net. GF is known for supporting the team of BP. In fact, GF was often seen rooting for BP's team last year.

These photos show GF with the family members of BP. Rumors have it that GF and BP share something special. Perhaps, GF can be really extra-friendly to people and behave in the exact opposite of the stories about him being so unlikeable. BP might even be enjoying the attention given by GF. Hopefully, they are happy together with each one getting what he wants from the other.

Gracious Exit

Image courtesy of www.psdgraphics.com

For the past weeks, the media was having a blast in airing the sides of Female DJ 1 (DJ1) and Female DJ 2 (DJ2) regarding the latter's leaving their morning show. DJ2 hinted that she was removed from the show because DJ1 told the management she could not work with her anymore. Then media played up statements like DJ1 was power-tripping because of her recent status as the constant date of this powerful man. While everyone hoped DJ1 would just keep quiet, she behaved otherwise. DJ1 answered publicly the allegations of DJ2 several times. Even the other co-hosts got into the fray as they actually discussed on air what happened to the relationship of the two DJs and the management.

DJ1 finally made a decision that caught everyone unguarded. She filed her resignation early this week. She said she suffered from emotional distress over the last few months and that she realized she could not handle the format of the show anymore. Lately, listeners were more interested in finding out more about her love life. However, speculations have it that some higher-ups from the riverside advised her camp to avoid making comments regarding the issue.

Later this week, DJ1 will say her farewell to their listeners, ending the good times she shared with the people and listeners of the show.

Incidentally, in relation to the Unhealthy Rivalry story posted last February 22, other sources say that the reason why management had to let go of DJ2 was that she had allegedly gotten into a tiff not just with DJ1 but also with other members of the station.

The Menace of a Manager-Lover Scorned

The prolific talent manager (PM) fell in love with this drama hunk (H) at first sight. PM took charge of the career of H and immediately brought him to a network and a film producer. With the persistence of PM, H got his share of good projects, endorsements, and awards. H was elevated to leading man status in no time. Meanwhile, PM showered H with special attention and extra care. H, in turn, noticed how much PM cared for him and he reciprocated.

In one out of town trip, H gave PM what he wanted. After spending the night with H, PM felt more in love with his talent. Then, he forbade H to have any off-cam involvement with women for the sake of his career. Away from the public, PM would confront any actress linked to H. It came to a point that PM asked H to choose between a sexy actress (SA) or his career. PM even hired a reporter to do the demolition job on an ex-lover of H. Despite these failed relationships, H is a ladies’ man. Within weeks after ending a relationship, H is already dating or is into a relationship with another woman. His latest companion (LC), shown in the photos, comes from the network’s reliable talents.

It seems that H is enjoying the company of LC even if both of them give ambiguous answers when asked about their relationship. Now, will PM allow this relationship to continue? What will happen to the love of PM for H? Will PM let go and take the role of the martyr-lover? Or, will PM give in to the fury of the scorned lover? Let us wait and see.

Piercing Smell

The sexy actress was quite demanding and choosy in the clothes she was going to wear in the show. When her scene was over, she asked for a new set of clothes and returned the clothes she had used. The assistants noticed a fishy smell pervading in the air.

Eventually, they realized that the source of the indescribable odor was from the set of clothes that the sexy actress had just returned. It must have been a very bad red letter day for the sexy actress, they concluded.
