Choosing to be Indifferent Instead of Saving the Family Reputation
Image courtesy of www.pixgood.com
Being part of society’s elite often adds pressure to meeting certain expectations that one should create a favorable impression in the eyes of the public. Other than debuts or balls, weddings are significant particularly if either party comes from a familiar name in high society. While non-showbiz clans keep their affairs private, the wedding of this couple was thrust in the limelight due to a controversy, which made headlines for a few days.
All ended well, as the couple was able to have their wedding in another venue. However, the aftermath of the wedding is another story. Allegedly, the couple still owes some of the suppliers involved in their wedding. The second round of checks allegedly bounced. Although the said amount might not be a big sum for either family, the businesses can feel the pinch of the unpaid accounts.
Allegedly, The Wife (TW) does not want to offer solutions for the problem and insists that the issue is the problem of her husband (TH). This attitude stems from the notion that the wedding was something that the elders of the groom/husband wanted. In other words, TW seems indifferent when it came to spending for their wedding. However, rumors have it that the side of TH is not really in favor of TW as their daughter-in-law, as she has a very strong personality and haughty at times. The parents, of course, have no choice, but to allow their son to marry.
The financial situation was made worse by the failure to sell a property, which could have made the groom’s family more liquid in terms of assets.
What is sad about this situation is that the payments are long overdue and the families involved belong to the moneyed. If they wanted to, payment should have been settled immediately. Now, this story is making the rounds in social circles and having debts could tarnish the family name. The elite will not look at this situation favorably. Instead of saving the face of the family she now belongs to, TW would rather detach herself.
‘A good name is still to be preferred over great riches. Especially it is to be preferred to the appearance of riches, aquired with nothing down and nothing to pay for 2 months.’― Ezra Taft Benson

Is Kapuso Jennylyn Mercardo Barred from Promoting ‘Prenup’ at Kapamilya Shows?
Image courtesy of www.balitangtrending.com
The unexpected phenomenal rise of the loveteam of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza or ALDUB, has escalated the network war between ABS-CBN 2 and GMA 7. While both stations can claim dominance over certain timeslots, Eat Bulaga! and It’s Showtime! have been steadily competing for the noontime slot. As EB’s ALDUB seems to be unstoppable, the rivalry between the networks has affected other movers in the entertainment industry.
A possible victim in this war for station dominance is presumably movie outfit, Regal Entertainment. Allegedly, GMA star Jennylyn Mercado was scheduled to guest in Kapamilya shows to promote “Prenup,” where she costars with Sam Milby and other talents of ABS-CBN. However, due to the rivalry, all guestings of Mercado were cancelled. “Prenup” is produced by Regal. Previously, GMA stars, like Carla Abellana, were allowed to promote their movies in shows of ABS-CBN.
In an attempt to provide an alternative to EB’s Kalyeserye, It’s Showtime! has introduced various innovations. A search was launched for Mr. Pastillas as a match for Pastillas Girl, who was discovered for posting a video on how to make the famous confection. Then, as a kickoff to the anniversary, KathNiel, JaDine, LizQuen, and KimXi all appeared in the show, which coincided with the National Pabebe Wave Day of EB.

Letter from a Reader: The Copy and Paste Food Blogger
Image courtesy of Fashion PULIS reader
Hi Fashion Pulis!
I would like to draw your readers’ attention to a food blogger’s (FB) penchant for copy-pasting. FB is a self proclaimed foodie, yet when it comes to writing about wines FB resorts to copying the winemaker’s notes verbatim, without crediting the sources.
To illustrate:
You can tell how weak FB's wine knowledge is with a simple slip-up like this:
There’s really no shame in admitting that FB does not have a good knowledge about wines, but FB should at least have the decency to admit this. Proper citation is a very basic rule of writing, and as someone who makes a living from writing, FB should know this full well and be more responsible about it.
FB's lifting isn’t limited to wine though. In a post about Vietnamese cuisine, I spotted these passages:
If you scour FB's blog you’ll find more snippets like these. It’s easy to tell which lines aren’t original because FB's real writing is different, so whenever a sentence is uncharacteristically well-composed, chances are FB simply copied it from somewhere, like a press kit provided by the establishment or company. There’s nothing wrong with referencing the press kit, but if FB is simply too lazy to paraphrase then FB should use quotation marks!
Plagiarism (whether borne of intent or ignorance) has always been something I strongly deplore, and I can't stand seeing someone gain so much popularity while passing off other people's writing as his/her own. Sadly, in our country intellectual theft isn’t taken seriously (hello Tito Sotto). I can only hope that this FB realizes the error of copy-pasting.
Thanks Fashion Pulis for helping bring this to light.
Yours truly,
Elle

Backfiring Assumptions
Image courtesy of www.nbcnews.com
After a tumultuous event, Intriguing Actress (IA) finally found Someone Interesting (SI) online. Yes, IA had ventured in cyberspace to give love a second try. Soon, IA developed feelings for SI and asked him to come over to town. Unfortunately, IA found out that SI was not as well off as she had hoped him to be.
When SI came, IA had to be the gracious host, and thus, supported his needs. SI allegedly is staying with IA and is trying to make a career in the competitive culinary field. The irony here is that someone in IA’s past used to be in culinary as well. While restaurants are springing left and right in the country, putting up a restaurant with a foreign chef still requires much investment. If SI intends to establish himself, he has to offer something unique but attractive to the local foodies. Moreover, he has to be able to convince investors to support his endeavor.
Given that IA is still trying to reestablish herself in her genre, generating the money to support her alleged lover will be challenging. Before spending on anyone else, IA has to think of her children and other legal battles that have come her way in the past years. With such situation, however, IA seems to be amiss in some of her financial commitments. Some are pointing out that she might be spending on SI at the expense of neglecting to pay her obligations. Hopefully, her creditors will not make public such financial matters, as IA needs all the positive vibes to revitalize her struggling career.
Looking back at the life of IA, several points standout. First, at the height of her career, she had a series of movies that showcased her range of talents and she established a reputation for being one of the country’s finest actresses. Second, when IA loves, she is passionate to the point that she will readily give up her career. Third, IA can be quite feisty when it comes to issues involving her, and thus, she was, at one point, a favorite subject for media to cover. Finally, the many challenging moments in her life taught IA to swallow her pride, at least for the project she needs to sustain her lifestyle.
