An opportunity to penetrate the international market is often a goal for most showbiz stars. However, not every performer will be given the chance to be invited to act or to audition for international roles. For the few who opted to pursue careers abroad, fewer were able to make a name for themselves. Most return home empty-handed, but make it a point to stress that they gained valuable experience, if not exposure.

When female model (FM) was announced to take on the hosting chores of an international franchise, it was a proud moment for the local followers of the said program. After all, it was another recognition that a Filipino talent was of international caliber. Besides, optimism followed as the opportunity could open bigger doors for FM.

Alas, within few weeks into the show, stories about FM’s backstage behavior are emerging. Some stories claim that FM exhibited her bratty behavior, which did not surprise those who learned about such incidents. Now, another story reveals that FM has another behavior that is indicative of her lack of skills as a host. Allegedly, FM refuses to memorize her lines and prefers to have the script fed to her via an earpiece. Her dependency on the words relayed to her dampens the spontaneity of the program. The crew was stunned as they expected FM to be more skilled.

Too bad, but despite the exposure, FM needs to work harder or face the fact that she is not of international standards. After all, a pretty face is never a guarantee that one can wing it.

Letter from a Reader: Liceo de Cagayan University Students Clean Third Floor Classroom Windows

Dear FashionPulis,

Yesterday (March 13, 2015), I sent my daughters to school (Liceo de Cagayan University) and after making sure that they are inside their respective class rooms, I took a trip to the comfort room. When I was about to exit the comfort room, I noticed students shouting something from the outside. Right there and then, I stepped outside (the comfort room has an exit that leads to the back of the building) to check what was happening, and to my surprise, I saw students on the third floor cleaning their classroom. If you can see the photos, the students are standing on a very unsafe ledge. I think even construction workers need to wear harness for this kind of job. These students are young and naive and they do not realize how dangerous this can be.

This school is rather prestigious here in Cagayan de Oro. I do not think the parents are aware that the lives of their children are in danger while they are in school. I am sure they all think that their children's teachers are taking good care of them.

My question to this school is why are the students allowed to even go outside? This photo was taken around nine in the morning when classes were ongoing, and again I ask, where are their teachers? We do not pay more than PhP 40,000 a year just to put the lives of our children in danger!

Yours truly,

Cris Dina

Actress Liezl Martinez passed away on Saturday morning after a long battle with cancer.

"Si Liezl, yung pamangkin ko, namatay kaninang umaga, 6:15 a.m., stage 4 cancer," said her uncle, Cheng Muhlach.

Muhlach said the 47-year-old actress was in the hospital since Monday.

"All the family is here. Ibuburol siya sa Arlington," he said.

Family friend Shirley Kwan who is also the manager of Albert Martinez, Liezl's husband, said in a statement that the actress "peacefully passed away in her sleep."
