Presumed Extra

That morning, Network Newbie (NN) woke up early full of excitement. The day marked his first step towards the realization of his dream, which is something that he felt his former network could not do to his career anymore. Instead of valuing loyalty, NN decided to move even if that means starting from the bottom.

Unlike his peers who made the move, the entry of NN into his new station was not given as much publicity. NN quietly slipped into his new station without much fuss. Sadly, his absence in his previous home was not noticed at all. NN became impatient when he was not getting the breaks he felt he needed, such as more substantial roles in challenging projects. NN wanted to develop his acting range, from comedy to drama, but his network could only do so much. Worse, the preoccupation with Hot Idol (HI) seems to have resulted in his former network ignoring its other talents. NN felt left out, and wanted freedom.

The desire for better roles seems to have come true for NN when he made the move. He was seen in a minor role in a movie and soon, he received the coveted call slip that he was going to have a role in a teleserye with a hot loveteam.

Thus, that morning, NN prepared for his role, and arriving early, he stayed at the tent for the actors of the teleserye while waiting to be called for his scene. In a few minutes, Lead Actress (LA) and Lead Performer (LP) entered the tent. NN smiled at the couple and hoped for a pleasant welcome. Instead, LP approached him and told him to leave the tent, which was reserved for lead actors of the project only. Besides, LA was tired and wanted to rest. Further, she needed privacy.

Shocked at the reception coming from LP, NN had no choice but to leave immediately. No one from the production was around to introduce him formally to the couple and tell them that he was the latest addition to the show. Still, NN felt so small, like an extra, which would have never happened had he stayed in his former network. Incidentally, even when he was starting out, he was accorded with respect because people in his former network knew of his connection with an influential insider.

YES, it’s official. After months of rumors going around the tourism industry on his impending appointment, actor Cesar Montano has been named as COO of the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB), well-placed sources at the Department of Tourism (DOT) and TPB confirmed to the BusinessMirror.

“Actual appointment papers [of Montano]” were received from Malacañang, the sources said, when asked how the DOT management, led by Tourism Secretary Wanda Corazon T. Teo, was informed of the appointment of the multiawarded actor.

Teo failed to respond to text messages about Montano’s appointment, but DOT Spokesman and Assistant Secretary Frederick B. Alegre said: “We will be issuing an official statement once he is sworn into office.”

The TPB, formerly the Philippine Conventions and Visitors Corp., is tasked with formulating and implementing an integrated domestic and international promotions and marketing program for the DOT. It was recently headed by 30-year-tourism-marketing veteran Domingo Ramon Enerio III.

Montano’s longtime Manager Shirley Pizarro said she had yet to confirm with the actor about the appointment, and could not reach him by phone as of press time.

Asked how this would impact on his film career, she said: “He has films in the planning stage. I’m not sure what will be the implication of the new post on his career. But if I know him, he will probably find a way to make his showbiz career work for this new appointment.”

Montano was recently part of President Duterte’s business delegation to Beijing, reportedly looking for Chinese investors for an upcoming movie.

While tourism sources said it has not yet been decided when the 54-year-old Montano would actually assume his post at the TPB, he is supposed to attend the TPB Board of Directors meeting on December 15. “He will be there to observe and be introduced to the [TPB officers and staff],” the sources revealed.

The TPB board is chaired by the tourism secretary, with the TPB COO as vice chair, while members include the COO of the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority; the secretaries of the departments of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Industry, and Transportation; and five representatives from industry stakeholders as nominated by the private sector-led Tourism Congress.

Under Republic Act 9353, or the Tourism Act of 2009, the COO of the TPB is supposed to be elected by its board of directors “from a list of qualified applicants and appointed by the secretary.” The same law requires the COO to be “a Filipino citizen, have a bachelor’s degree in any of the following fields: business, law, tourism, public administration or other relevant fields and have demonstrated expertise therein; and have occupied a managerial position for at least five years.”

Considered a government-owned and –controlled corporation, the TPB’s board has to nominate/elect its COO annually.

Aside from acting in films, Montano is also a film producer, director and singer. He won awards for acting and directing films, such as Ang Bukas ay Akin, Panaghoy sa Suba (The Call of the River), José Rizal, Muro Ami (Reef Hunters), Bagong Buwan, Ligalig and El Presidente.

According to an entry in Wikipedia, Montano, whose real name is Cesar Manhilot and traces his roots to Baclayon in Bohol, “went to Santa Ana Elementary School, Mariano Marcos Memorial High School and finished engineering at Lyceum of the Philippines University in Intramuros, Manila.”

He made unsuccessful tries for elective office, starting with the Senatorial elections in 2007, for governor of Bohol in 2010, and as a party-list represantive in 2016.

Montano is estranged from his wife actress Sunshine Cruz, who filed an annulment of their marriage in 2014. They have three daughters.
