A Clever Performance

While we are in the heat of mind-boggling corruption scandals in the political arena, let us have a little bit of dissection at one of the low profile politicians LP and his media wife MW.

Although married to a media personality, LP is quite low-key and hardly ever in the news. When some of his family members were once controversial, LP remained muted. Only when he ran for public office and won did he become to get noticed – for the wrong reasons.

Prior to politics, even while being married to MW, the family’s lifestyle was just regular by standards – as in ordinary middle class. She with her television commitments while he in his corporate world. But that isn’t so in the now. Some people within the couple’s circle have noticed a big difference ever since LP joined the political bandwagon.

Reportedly after winning the elections, LP and MW family’s lifestyle had drastically changed. For one, the once simple abode has now reportedly transformed into a mansion. Their kids now get to travel abroad as frequently as they like. One or two of them are currently enrolled in a prestigious university abroad. These and more happened within LP’s first term in office. Is this how lucrative being in government has become?

How much is the salary of an elected government official and a media person? Does that equate to something so huge as to afford such a lifestyle? Hmmm..quite seamless execution.

Some say that generally, LP’s side of the family is low profile at best, yet scandalously controversial at some point in time. Right now, it is the younger LP who is in the public eye, fueled as it is with the gigantic controversies that have surfaced in the recent past. Fortunately for him, compared to others who are similarly situated, LP is still out of the radar – for now.

Guidelines Set to Protect Ryzza Mae Dizon

Following two incidents that spurred collective outrage over the treatment of precocious child talent Ryzza Mae Dizon in her own show, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has come up with guidelines as agreed upon by representatives of TAPE Inc., producer of "The Ryzza Mae Show."

The MTRCB detailed the agreement of its meeting with TAPE on its Twitter account.



One of the incidents involved comedian-host Vic Sotto spraying juice on Dizon’s face.

TAPE explained that it did not reach the child talent’s face.



Both parties have agreed to involve Dizon in the creative process behind her show, with the assistance of “responsible adults,” as mentioned on Twitter.

Willie Revillame Concedes to 'Showtime' and 'Eat Bulaga'

Willie Revillame has admitted that the viewership of his noontime program aired on TV5 "fell below expectations," as the controversial host gears up for the show's last month on air and his planned retirement.

The 52-year-old TV host shared the ratings disappointment in a feature on Revillame's Wil Tower Mall published Wednesday on the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Revillame spoke about "Wowowillie," which is aired in the same timeslot as ABS-CBN's "It's Showtime" and TAPE's "Eat Bulaga."

Referring to the hosts of the 34-year-old program aired on GMA-7, Revillame said, "No one can beat the rapport of Tito (Sotto), Vic (Sotto) and Joey (de Leon)."

"No matter how good your show is, if the signal is not strong, people won't watch you," the former ABS-CBN star added.

Whereas both "Eat Bulaga" and "It's Showtime" have consistently placed in the Top 20 programs nationwide, according to multinational market research group Kantar Media, "Wowowillie" has repeatedly lagged behind its rival shows by as much as 10 percentage points in national TV ratings.

The latest TV ratings data of Kantar Media released on Wednesday, for instance, shows that "Eat Bulaga" and "It's Showtime" garnered nationwide ratings of 16.3% and 13.7%, respectively, on September 9, while "Wowowillie" only registered 2.9% on the same day.

Kantar Media uses a nationwide panel size of 2,609 urban and rural homes, representing 100% of the total Philippine TV viewing population.

Show's end, retirement

"Wowowillie," which has undergone numerous revamps since its 2010 debut as "Willing Willie," is set to air its last episode on October 12, Revillame said.

He first announced the game show's end in May, saying he has opted not to renew his contract with the Manny Pangilinan-owned network.

"My life was about TV hosting and entertainment. When I talked to Sen. [Manuel] Villar (Revillame's business partner), my perspective changed. You have to be stable," said the TV host, who has four children from four past relationships.

"I thought of the future — not just for my family. I want to share my success with the less fortunate. All these (points to a table) will turn to dust. As long as I live, I want to do something that will make people happy. Life is about giving and forgiving. The world doesn't have to see," Revillame said.

Missing the Young Entertainer

Image courtesy of www.facebook.com

Absence makes the heart go fonder. However, in local showbusiness, the absence of a talent can spell doom to his/her career. Thus, fans of this young performer (YP) are in panic as YP has not been visible in his home network. When YP was starting out, he was being groomed as the next top talent of the station. YP has the boyish looks, charm, talent, and a hit loveteam. This combination was leading YP to be the next important star of his generation.

However, after his weekly show had undergone a major change, the public was expecting YP to be part of the entourage of talents. YP already rehearsed for the pilot episode of the said show, but was pulled out when his management realized YP would not have a solo spot. Then, the network offered YP to do an after series that would show his acting talent and make him visible for the whole week. Again, his management turned it down, as they did not agree with some of the effects in the series.

Now, the fans are in panic as YP as several months have passed since he was seen on television. The network might suddenly lose interest in YP as more talents are emerging, and it might just be a matter of time another talent can do what YP is known for. Worse, the public might forget YP, and he might have a hard time getting back his groove.

While YP belongs to a showbiz royalty, his management should not allow his absence in the local scene to continue. Perhaps, they could throw in some suggestions for his future projects. His showbiz lineage took time and patience to build the name that he is now enjoying. YP should continue to live up to his family’s reputation, and start getting into projects.
