Seasoned Personality (SP) used to have everything at her whim. With hard work and pure talent, SP gained her fortune and admiration of ordinary folks. SP bought land, cars, homes, and anything she fancied. Her fans showed loyalty such that their passion for her has reverberated for years. However, SP became generous to a fault, trusted kin to take care of her properties, and lived to the fullest. Without proper guidance, SP almost lost everything and much of her savings were squandered. Love and vices ruled her life, and by the time she came to her senses, what of what she had lost could be regained. The properties seemed to be not hers anymore, the mansions were sold, and her family had all dispersed.

SP, despite having gained and lost all material assets, has one trait that she kept in her heart. Having seen and lived in poverty, she had made it a point to make sure she continues to help a Close Kin (CK), who is undergoing a difficult trial. However, with limited resources, SP had to scourge for financial help. Her last projects with a big network were not successful enough for the public to give her much deserved attention. With no convincing ratings, the network did not give SP another project right after her last one ended. Yet, SP was much thankful when another network gave her a brief project, but more importantly, this project was a sign that gaps were mended.

Initially, SP approached Young Character Actress (YC), who has had projects one after the other. If it were not for SP, YC would not be having a career, which has brought her fame and fortune. Unfortunately, YC turned down SP and refused to help her. Perhaps, YC had gone tired of helping SP. After all, whenever SP has money, she also spends it to a fault on other people. After YC, SP then turned to Character Actor (CA), thinking that blood would be thicker than water. Like her experience with YC, CA did not lift a finger to give assistance to SP. While he has a business, extending help to SP was out of the question. However, despite her experience with YC and SA, SP never spoke against them.

SP never gave up and finally, someone whom she had helped paid it forward. Like YC, if it were not for SP, Versatile Talent (VT) would not have had a good start in her life. Growing up, SP gave VT the simple joys that shaped her character and introduced her to the chaos of showbiz. Although VT does not have as much resources as YC and CA, she accommodated SP and gave as much assistance as she could. After all, SP was not seeking help for herself, but for someone who needs it more, which was CK.

Although things seem to remain tough for SP, the industry and her fans have not forgotten her. Even if at times, her past would be unearthed, SP continues to be optimistic and live selflessly. It is such a pity that YC and CA could not help SP anymore. Perhaps, they have been burned several times and could not give SP another chance. Yet, the question of helping might be irrelevant when time comes that YC and CA realize their actions would be too late.

‘Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.’ - Melody Beattie

President-elect Rodrigo Duterte will not hold any press conferences for now, according to his executive assistant.

“Sa ngayon wala munang press con para walang mali,” Christopher “Bong” Go said in an ambush interview here on Friday.

This was to avoid misinterpretation of the incoming President’s statements, said Go.

All interviews and statements of Duterte, he said, would be coursed through the People’s Television (PTV4) network.

“Lahat ng statement idadaan muna sa state-owned station,” he said.

Duterte’s decision came amid heavy criticisms after he issued an appalling statement on journalist killings and justified whistling at a female reporter during a press conference in this city as “freedom of expression.”
