The Lost Charisma

Making a comeback is a dreaded event for any celebrity because he/she would not have any idea if he/she would still be returning to the same status prior to the hiatus. However, comebacks are tests for the fanbase of the celebrity as well. As long as fans are loyal, any celebrity can take as much time to go on leave and confidently return to the support of the fandom.

When circumstances made Versatile Celebrity (VC) take time off, she had no choice but to leave everything behind and face a new chapter in her life. All was worth it anyway and VC was confident that she had something to return to when she was ready again. However, the cliché, “out of sight, out of mind” seemed real.

Once VC was among the consistently reliable and tested talent of her management. Any project she dabbles in would assure a great return in investment and ratings. Considered as a prized talent, VC seemed assure of her status in the network. Nonetheless, the entertainment industry is ever-changing and when VC returned, the reception was fine, but not thunderous. Her charm was not the same anymore.

During the evaluation of one of her projects, the results were dismal, but true. A big project of VC performed below expectations in terms of returns. Based on her previous records, the big project was a flop. Thus, the next big project of VC must be carefully planned. Then, her other project was just about mediocre. Her presence did not create the expected impact and did not generate as much excitement as the previous host. However, timing might not have been on the side of VC, as the production had a hard time in the show, anyway.

Incidentally, while the fate of a comeback for that project hangs in the balance for VC, Another Talent (AT) might have to be let go. If VC did not create the expected effect, AT generated the dreaded effect with his stance, which stirred reactions that were mostly negative. Thus, for now, VC and AT might not be around for the next round of the project.

Repost: Kiefer Ravena Suspended from Playing in the PBA Following FIBA Ban

The worst case scenario has come to fruition for Kiefer Ravena.

The NLEX rookie will not be allowed to play in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) while his FIBA suspension is in effect, the PBA Board confirmed Thursday.

FIBA has suspended Ravena for 18 months – from February 25, 2018 to August 24, 2019 – after the guard tested positive for three substances included in the Prohibited List of the World Anti-Doping Agency. He was tested after Gilas Pilipinas' game against Japan in the FIBA World Cup qualifiers in February.

"The board did take the decision of FIBA as very serious," PBA chairman Ricky Vargas said in a briefing at the league office. "It affects one of our star players."

"But it (the PBA Board) also recognized that we are a member of the SBP (Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas), and as a member of the SBP, we respect the rules that the SBP would promulgate," he added.

"And that is in consonance with the FIBA ruling of suspension."

Ravena's suspension was announced on Monday, but the SBP still asked FIBA for a clarification regarding his status in the PBA – hoping against hope that the rookie will be allowed to play for the Road Warriors even while suspended from international play.

But SBP president Al Panlilio admitted that he always knew their appeal was a long shot.

"I actually knew (FIBA's) answer even before I received their reply," he said.

"It's very clear naman, the ruling," Panlilio further said. "All leagues, even events – except for activities that are related to the anti-doping campaign. It's very clear that he's not allowed to play in any league."

"He's also not allowed to practice," he added. "He would have to do his own training."

Individual workouts

Ravena has already acknowledged that he has no choice but to conduct his own individual workouts, even as he stressed that he will continue to support the Road Warriors and the Gilas Pilipinas national team while serving his suspension.

"Walang competition, but it's all in the mind eh," Ravena said on Wednesday, after watching NLEX win its first game without him in the 2018 PBA Commissioner's Cup. "It's how I'm able to rise above it. Medyo mahirap pero kailangan lagpasan, kailangan gawin talaga kung ano ang kailangang gawin."

"Even though I'm not playing, I have to find my own ways of trying to keep in shape because, mamaya biglang ma-lift 'yung suspension ko or ma-ano 'yun ayoko na nagpapabaya ako, may mangyari pa sa career ko," he added.

"So I'm taking every day, a day at a time, taking care of my body, and just being ready for whatever."

Ravena was also advised by Vargas not to take any risks that may lead to yet another FIBA sanction.

"Don't risk it. Don't draw a line na, 'what if I do this, what if I do that,'" Vargas said. "Stay away from it. We don't want him to test the waters, na what if he plays in a barangay (league)."

Further appeal

Ravena will remain busy, however. Aside from doing his own workouts, he will also serve as the PBA's ambassador in its anti-doping campaign.

"Kiefer will be the best ambassador to spread the word and create awareness to educate all athletes, not only in basketball, but all Filipino athletes," said Panlilio.

The SBP will keep FIBA aware of their efforts to raise awareness in Filipino athletes, with Ravena front and center in the program.

"We'll document that, and we will continue to try down the road, maybe approach FIBA again and say, 'Ito ang ginagawa ng bata,'" Panlilio said.

"Malay niyo, kapag maganda ang behavior niya, makita ng FIBA, and request tayo na i-lessen (ang suspension)," added PBA commissioner Willie Marcial.

Any further appeal will have to come down the road, said Panlilio, as they just received a very definitive answer from FIBA. 

In the meantime, Ravena will be put in NLEX's reserve list.

Get Moving

Image courtesy of www.pinklover.snydle.com

Fans have been making noise in the social media accounts of Attractive Talent (AT) and rival network’s Male Personality (MP). They have been expressing disgust over the closeness of AT and MP and have been leaving mean and threatening messages. The root cause is that the fans cannot take that AT and Screen Partner (SP) have separated. Hence, they are blaming MP and AT for the break up.

The management of AT and SP had to make the decision of separating the duo for business purposes. Despite being together in many projects, the returns and the ratings have been way below expectations. Hence, something must be done soon, rather than insist on a partnership that is not working at all. Even if AT and SP tried to play the real game, there was no spark behind the camera. AT could not get the feels for SP and vice-versa. Thus, AT has been hanging around with MP, whom fans are suspecting to be her potential real partner. The management in this case has not been blind and allegedly requested AT to be mindful of her posts considering that MP comes from the other camp.

Incidentally, rumors have it that SP is not interested in AT despite her looks and charm, as his eyes are set on Co-Worker (CW). CW and SP started their careers almost at the same time, but it was SP who was noticed ahead given his innate acting talent. Nonetheless, loyalty pays, as CW would always be included in major projects even if the role is for supporting the lead. CW opted to remain where talent could be nurtured. Thus, CW did manage to get major breakthroughs, but has yet to work closely with SP in a major project. Moreover, the two cannot be paired off, as the liking of SP for CW must remain a secret, as there is the macho, straight image that must be protected.
