On the set of a television commercial shoot, everything was in place except for the male endorser's payment. Despite the brand manager's repeated assurance that his cheque for the payment was on its way, he pretended not to hear anything and just sat in one corner of the dressing room. He even refused to have his hair and make-up done while waiting for the cheque to be delivered.
When the envelope containing the cheque was finally handed by the brand manager to the endorser's handler, the endorser suddenly had a 180 degrees mood change. It was so obvious that he only perked up and started being friendly with everyone around after the payment was received.
gusto ko maglaro ng classic game na pacman. i dunno why?
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA May connect sa title yung name niya diba? :D
ReplyDeleteIm afriad of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
ReplyDeletehubby of J? baka naman na-trauma na sya before?? hindi nabayaran?
ReplyDeleteEto ba yun may BI din dito? Si Mr. Husband? :)
ReplyDeleteEasy. Hubby of The Queen of Drama.
ReplyDeleteis it the title b? >_<
ReplyDeletesi M ba yan?
ReplyDeleteBut thats normal.. i dont see anything wrong with that..
ReplyDeletei don't think it's the husband of J. maybe the clue is in the first 2 words in the title.
ReplyDeleteIn fairness andami nya commercials ha!!
ReplyDeleteMr. Why-are-you-even-a-star? Yung laging "in heat?"
ReplyDeleteI understand the No Pay No Work concept pero if the brand manager was assuring you na that the cheque is on the way, ano ba naman ang magready ka (hair and make-up) na para pag dating ng cheque shoot na agad. What do you guys think?
ReplyDeletebakit dollar sign? :D
ReplyDeletepero dapat naman before gawin ang commercial dapat buo na yung bayad.. di naman sa mukhang pera pero dapat ganun..
ReplyDeletesige sasali na lang ako sa isang talent show sa brotherhood station baka makilala ako ..
oo nga bakit dollaR yan?
ReplyDeleteSchoolmate mo yan fp dba?
ReplyDeleteBat andami mong BI about him and his wifey? Theyre a pretty cool couple kaya.. They seem very happy..
ReplyDeleteHe's the Champion in Mara's life
ReplyDeletebakit walang written contract of agreement prior to the shoot?
ReplyDeletesounds sketchy nga naman
buti nalang di sinabihan ng ng brand manager na -sira yan ! ayoko na katrabaho yan!

ReplyDeletegiveaway na kaya ung title.. :D
ReplyDeleteRararara!!!
ReplyDeletethis is R!
ReplyDelete-CUTE
natawa naman ako sa Mang Inasal at Aristocrat! lol!
ReplyDeletekung si M nga ito, he has all the right in the world to demand especially when it comes to endorsing a product, i think he has earned it! but bakit ganon, wala ba tong contract to begin with?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous said... But thats normal.. i dont see anything wrong with that.. July 10, 2011 1:49 PM It's normal to want a payment. But do you actually have to be bitchy about it. You can explain that you will wait for it before you will do the shoot and not pretend to not hear anything. That's just totally wrong an disrespectful in a way. And complete turnaround ng ugali after makuha yun payment? That says a lot.
ReplyDeletei met this guy sa mga drift race sessions namin and he seems so cool and friendly. yun wife ata ang medyo selosa coz tawag ng tawag sa cell phone nya. Agonizing nga eh! :)
ReplyDeletesi R na hubby ni J...kailangan na kailangan ata nila ng money kac dlawa anak nila eh...hehe! bka nagiipon sila ng trust fund pra sa mga bata...hehehe! xa dn ung nsa past BI mo db? :) ne
ReplyDeleteif this is r... this is sooo shocking.
ReplyDeletei don't think this is M though.
Sino si R? I need clues pa
ReplyDeleteyucch, never liked this guy, now pa more than ever. obviously mukhang pera. :P
ReplyDeleteChampion ang Chevy churva na ito. Gets nyo?
ReplyDeleteSira yan.
ReplyDeleteSino si R? Na hubby ni J?? More clues please FP readers/fanatics!!
ReplyDeleteChampion ito, pre! First, I thought it was M hehe
ReplyDeleteGive Mr. Mara naman a break, it was a verbal assurance lang naman from the brand manager eh. Pero di ba dapat bayad na ang talent fee before the shoot even begun? so maybe imbyerna kasi late na late na ang talent fee. Who knows what happened before the shoot and what's stipulated sa contract. Porke ba you're insisting on what you think is right may attitude problem ka na?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure gagawing issue rin ang pag-iinsist nila na 4 hours lang ang shoot ng anak nila (which is mandated by law).... sasabihing wala silang consideration sa production staff!!!
Ang sarap mag-mouthwash ngayon!
ReplyDeletewish na!
This is R, just look at the title. Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteyeah. this is R. this guy has an attitude, he hit his girls and he uses them for money. He was still with his GF when he started a relationship with J. the Ex supported him with all his luho.... He wanted to be a photog daw so the girl ( who has in the states at that time and unaware that he was cheating on her already) gave him a laptop, a professional camera and all the gadget that he needed. He accepted all the gifts and broke up with her after receiving them! tsk tsk.
ReplyDeleteare you serious? I always see him in campus before. he doesn't seem to be that type. hmm.
Deletei dont see anything wrong with waiting to get paid before lifting a finger if the contract says i should be fully paid before the shoot.
ReplyDeleteeh bakit ng mag shooshoot na eh wala pa ang cheke???? ano ako, uto uto na mag shooshoot ng hindi pa bayad? nek nek nila. galing galing nila mag pasign ng contract tapos ang kupad magbayad?
di pwedeng check is on its way... show me the manny talaga! oks lang yang ginawa nya.
daming estafador dyan!
Clue:
ReplyDeleteLook at tyler ty's (July 10, 2011 2:05 PM) comment. Nandun sa first sentence ang clue. LOL
hindi mo kailangan maging talentado para mahulaan si R!
ReplyDeleteAng misis na si J ay bida sa isa sa pinakamatagal na teleserye ng abscbn. Isa syang chef.
ReplyDeletegets ko yung R pero cno si M?
ReplyDeletethis is R partner ni J
ReplyDeletesira yan talaga... tapos kanta ka ng maraaaa.. claaaara..
ReplyDeleteDi ba rich naman family nya? Bakit sya ganun? Tingnan nyo previous BIs about them... may isang reader na nagcomment na ito daw si R, may PA pa na tagapalit ng shoes nya pag nag-aattend ng mga race... nuninu...
ReplyDeleteMay bago syang commercial ngayon, "light" lang naman. Tsaka may nakita akong print ad nilang mag-asawa endorsing a line of appliances.
--mall rat
Will somebody confirm if this is R who is the hubby J (who's close to famous female singer-actresses S & S)? Oh god the AGONy I feel if this is true. ZZZZ I'll sleep na nga lang, YO!
ReplyDeletec R na nga yan...
ReplyDeleteAh.. I think it's R na husband ni hefty J. =)
ReplyDeleteFeeling ko s R to.. nsa title e..baka naman he was stiffed before.. pero still he should have been friendly kc artista sya e.. chka tama dpat ng pa hair and makeup sya... kung d tlga tuloy, at least he was styled for free! hehe
ReplyDeleteyang ang champion
ReplyDeletethis is only one side of the story...wala tayo dun so we dont know exactly what happened. yung manager nya dapat ang nakiki-alam sa money matters ng talent nya. and he shouldnt have been there to begin with kung hindi fully paid ang TF. di din natin alam baka may precedent na yung brand manager. still, he took this talent's power to endorse kasi alam nya he has a good reputation and market value...so kung ano yung naka stipulate sa contract dapat sundin. malay mo nga andun sa contract nya na paid sya before he works, so meaning yung brand manager ang hindi sumunod sa contract. tama ba?
ReplyDeleteBrand manager cannot claim that everything is in place when the most important thing is not- ANDA!
ReplyDeletebrand manager had poor negotiation skills or lacking in effective communication skills. sana ganito sinabi niya.
"Hey R, i am very sorry delayed and delivery ng cheKe. Na confirm ko na that it is on the way.
I've explained the situation to the production that we will not roll the cameras until everything is truly in place.
i apologize talaga for the inconvenience. I am expecting a 2 hour wait.can i get you and your staff something to drink? eat? would you like us to put you in a nicer office/space while you are waiting.
Kung talaga may powers si brand manager, pwede nya rin siyang magpakitang gilas...i've called the main office and have a budget approved for hotel voucher, extra compensation etc.
OR
R could have the upper hand too, instead of idling in one corner, he could have approached it this way... Brand Manager, since wala pa yung cheke, there's no official work here. While waiting, can i make use of my time to do my other businesses?
Brand manager is at fault in this situation and must apologize front and back.
R was doing his job. He switched his gears on, when the work started. E pwedeng pwede naman siya nagpatuloy mag-dabog kasi na-dyahe ang oras niya. pero it looks like he was on working mode when things were truly in place.
C'mon don't be hypocrite guys. We all the want the ANDA but we are timid to admit it. lalo na for the women, for example, mostly don't negotiate for a higher pay even if they deserve it kasi money feels like a dirty issue and the dreaded the "mukhang pera" label.
3M page views before july 27! let's give it to fp!
ReplyDeletelegally, yes, dapat he gets paid, pero why on earth did he show up kung wala pang bayad? ethically , turn off ang attitude nya, it`s not like scam artist ang ka deal nya, there must be trust kahit paaano, kung wala kang tiwala sa ka deal mo, yun dont make any deal at all
ReplyDeleteClue on R: mouth wash! chevy chevy! Clue on J: mara maara!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Champion si R. Champ ha- champion ng mga labandera. :-p
ReplyDeleteHe deserves to be payed naman!Talented Filipino ito! oh alam nyo na? =D
ReplyDeleteSi R na mhilig sa mouth wash haha
ReplyDeletenako baka masira yan karir niya kung ganyan siya! un na!
ReplyDeleteTalented host siya di ba?
ReplyDeleteI think this is R, hubby ng original MC.
ReplyDeleteKapangalan siya ng isang sikat na composer....R. Parang gusto ko mag mouthwash....
ReplyDeleteSino si R? Na hubby ni J?? More clues please FP readers/fanatics!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't he a has been... Why is he still doing commercials pa?!? Parang he was just sikat coz of his are you in heat / elevator commercial eh...
ReplyDeleteTo those defending this behavior, I roll my eyes and say: oh, puh-lease. I've been a production manager (both in the Phils and overseas) and with all the things that need to be taken care of in a shoot, it always gives people in our position a little breathing room to settle everything at the end (along with waivers, releases and other things that need to be signed). I've never had this problem with any of my talents pulling long faces until they've gotten paid. If he had such a big problem with it then he should have simply specified that his fee needs to be settled at the beginning of the shoot. Then the person in charge would have made absolutely sure the cheque was on hand. (I usually have all the checks and petty cash with me at the start of the shoot... which is also part of being professional. It's a two-way street). No grumpiness, no prima donna behavior. It's simply called being gracious, professional and easy to work with.
ReplyDeleteOf course you'd say that, you're a production manager, helloooo!!! How one-sided. Hahaha. You said it yourself, you have the checks etc. at the start of the shoot as part of being professional. Hence, whoever was handling this shoot was not professional for not having the check with him/her at the start. Isn't it obvious? FYI, I never liked this host too, but I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to get paid first. The BI didn't say he was being bitchy about it, just that he refused to get prepped up without payment. Hand me a check for a big amount of money and I'd definitely perk up instantly. Wouldn't you? :P
Deletethe company is notorious for not payng their endorsers they hire to hawk their products. who can blame the dude? this is a lame BI.
ReplyDeleteJuly 11, 12:28AM TUMPAK! Couldn't agree with you more. You said everything I wanted to say..point by point!
ReplyDeleteIt is okay if you don't work until you get paid first. Wala naman masama duon. Pero nag issue talaga dyan is R's attitude. Pwede naman Nya sabihan ng maayos yung brand manager if it will be okay for him to wait for the payment before working, instead of snubbing everyone. Palibasa isa cyang KAPWA KO MAHAL KO. Marunong din mag diva-divahan.
ReplyDeletethe initials are in the title, rest assured?
ReplyDeleteThis is not our national knuckles, it's the mr. siopao (ie hubby of actress best known for her siopao face)
ReplyDeleteAnonymous July 11, 2011 12:53 AM : Sus, ano pa bang clue ang gusto mo ang dami dami na
ReplyDeletesi R ay isang talentado na host na mapapanod din sa isang palabas sa tv na hindi mawawala hanggat may bata!
ReplyDeleteR means business. He put his foot down in this situation- No pay, no work. Ganun lang kasimple.
ReplyDeleteJust because he does not want to kiss a**, attitude problem na.
Professionalism naman kasi brand manager, hindi mo naman kamag-anak yan. May rest-assured ka pang nalalaman. Dapat ang pinag-iringan mo yung kampo mo na nagschedule ng shoot, hindi naman pala kayo ready to roll. Or sana, nagdasal ka na sana na-late siya.
ay naku ang daming naiinggit.may kasabihan nga naman na ang puno pag maraming bunga pinupukol.....ang sasabihin ko lang kung may attitude problem si R,eh di sana wala ng kukuha sa kanya bilang endoerser di ba.common sense duhhhhhhhhhhhh.siguraduhin lang ng source mo na totoo at walang halong inggit.dahil ako may source din,yun lang.chaos
ReplyDeleteI love you FP - I am getting soooo good at this!
ReplyDeletenasa title ang clue...it's R (mara's hubby)
ReplyDeletetwelve
feeling naman tong magasawa na to...plastic pa...as if naman may tatangkilik ng mga ineendorse nila dahil sa kanila, tulad na lang nung diet tablets ni J, wala namang effect, tingnan mo katawan nya ngayon...anyways, dati pa naman ung tablets na un eh pangpaliit ng katawan kaso lalaki ang mukha mo daw...hahaha
ReplyDeleteanonymous @ 3:02 pm. u dnt know this couple..they are good and they help a lot of people and charities apart from they help all their family's friends and relatives, what happened was until the day of the shoot itself wala pa din ang bayad which was stipulated that he has to be paid before the commercial shoot, he showed up there as a sign of profesionalism but the people he works with are not, so i guess bitch or no bitch he has all the right, most here give comments and opinion based on hearsays, dami kasi chismosa and they make it their own as if they really had encountered all this celebs nuf said
ReplyDeleteR again .. lol .. I'm still recovering from the other BI .. hehe the 12 hour one .. ;-) ..
ReplyDeleteBased on the how the BI is written and the comments that followed... Aba! napaka-ungrateful naman ni brand manager at hindi na-appreciate na dumating si R and he stuck around sa set kahit hindi pa sila ready. paano kung sinabi ni R, uwi daw muna siya magpa-dede ng bata? R had every right to do what he wants until officially under your clock.
ReplyDeletebrand manager you should have told your crew that you effed up and owned up you mistakes. hindi na i-baback stab mo ang talent. kahit salbahe pa siya sa totoong buhay, labas na tayo dun. he made life for everyone easy naman when the work commenced. trabaho lang mga beki!
don't blame him with the way things are going now PAY na muna. baka hindi ka pa mabayaran!
ReplyDeletehindi naman kagandahan si J. sabi nga ng iba diyan siofao fez. Ang mga luha ni J, nanggagaling sa pisngi niya- golden luha yan! At hindi rin kagwapuhan si R.
ReplyDeletePero ang ganda ng endorsement raket nila? Ano ba ang pinakain nila sa mga taga-showbiz at sinusundan pa rin sila?
Hindi naman sila ma-epal sa public compared sa iba diyan na twitter ng twitter. Diba private pa nga yung kasal nila? Kung yung network lang ang masusunod, special telecast pa yan with product placements.
I think there's nothing seriously wrong with them, wag na hanapan ng mali. Dapat i-appreciate nyo that they set an example of decency by not washing their dirty laundry in public.
haha gawin nating light ang agony sa pag-gagantsilyo wishawish...
ReplyDeleteang isyu is the attitude. oo sige, tama na he shouldn't work kung wala pang bayad pero kelangan bang magpakita ng di kagandahang asal. tapos biglang turn around kung andyan na yun pera? ano yun? wag sisihin ang brand manager.
ReplyDeletethat's how i see it.
I think there's nothing seriously wrong with them, wag na hanapan ng mali. Dapat i-appreciate nyo that they set an example of decency by not washing their dirty laundry in public. -
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with them? sana makatrabaho mo sila. makikita mo rin what's wrong with them. promise.
if they are horrible na makatrabajo, then dapat matagal na silang walang raket. kasi sa totoo lang, hindi na sila maningning. ang daming ibang talents diyan, and probably cheaper pa. ang shoba na ni missus, si mister parang peter pan syndrome.
ReplyDeletenanggagalaiti na yun sa brand manager kahit dumating na ang pera. but he has to fulfill his end of the deal, kaya makipagplastikan na para mabilis matapos. at the end of the day it's just a job.
situations like this should not be new to the brand manager, and an experienced one knows how to handle this professionally.
i've worked in the industry and some ad agencies are notorious for not paying up on time and in the end the suppliers have to wait for weeks to get their PF, minsan pa nga they shoulder muna the expenses pagwala pang pera from agencies. I think this actor is just being cautious na he gets paid for what he's supposed to do. His aloof attitude might have stemmed from past experiences and IMHO a celebrity doesnt need to be ma PR all the time. Tao rin naman sila na kelangan ng "switch off" mode from being a celebrity. bakit sa TMZ when they ambush interview celebs and the reporters get brushed off hindi naman ganun ka big deal yun.
ReplyDeleteahh si Rest assured na nga YANg guy pala. how sad!
ReplyDeleteits definitely not M. its 10am - 10pm guy..
ReplyDeleteyung mukhang pera ay yung atat na atat mag-pa make-up hindi naman pala siguradong mababayaran. counting chicks before getting hatched baga.
ReplyDeletetintext ka na ni misis! gawin mong light!
ReplyDeleteok lng yan. kesa naman d mabayaran!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you have some ounce of common sense in your body, you would know that he is not just a local celebrity and his stature is something that all of us could not even fathom. Now for someone of his stature, he has managers handling his payments, contracts, engagements etc., and payments mostly are made not on the day of the shoots but as early as the contract signing etc. etc. Have you seen his international endorsements? Local endorsements are just barya to him compared to these, hindi naman niya papabayaan ang sarili niya to stoop down to that level na mag antay ng cheke on the day of the shoot, if you know him he is so professional.
ReplyDelete@Anon July 14, 2011 8:31 AM - before you get your panties (or briefs - basta I hope it's not commando lol) in a bunch, blind item refers to R the husband of Mara Clara and not the politician. Chastise the commenters for getting the item wrong, the word money was meant to confuse and it appears that it's serving its purpose well based on the number of posts naming politician. But I have to agree on what you said, at this point M is so above any of our local stars and other celebs. He is an A-lister by Hollywood standards. He has his Achilles heel but it only proves he's human. Anyway I never agreed with the whole idea that public figures like celebrities and athletes are youth models. I grew up saturated in media yet I never revered any celebrity or athlete in that manner. Parents, don't be lazy and let some celebrity or athlete raise your kids. These celebrities and athletes should inspire but overall, kids should draw their greatest inspiration from the ones who brought them into the world. Parents who are content to let media raise their kids then raise hell over controversies and scandals later on are just LAZY.
ReplyDeletewhat's wrong with that? maybe he got burned before... not an issue for me...
ReplyDeletesyempre need ni R kumita nakakapressure kaya maging asawa ni J.. pansin nyo mega hard-working talaga si R mula nung naging sila ni J. hehe
ReplyDelete
