It was just two years ago when TV5 under a new and aggressive control of businessman Manny Pangilinan made a grand debut on Philippine television. What happened after the launch made a big impact on everyone in the industry - insiders, players and observers. Not to mention, the network rivals who did not see the cash giant coming. For people behind TV5 began talking to stars and their managers to offer deals that were just too hard to resist. Star piracy became a daily buzz word and order of the day. For truly, they walked the talk, and the industry was jolted like never before. TV5 projected an endless cash flow image to whoever it sees fit to engage in their network.
Stars and their managers were all agog, quick to the draw, sending feelers that they were available for a deal of a lifetime. And who wouldn't be blown away by sky-high talent fees, four to seven times bigger, laid beautifully before anyone willing to be tempted.
And so it went. Stars, both popular and has-been knocked at MVP's door, signed up and were stamped a new name - Kapatid, TV5's new catchword. Soon they were given projects, and cameras began rolling. Everyone was happy and excited. Everything was just too good to be true. TV5 produced shows for their new talents. But it ended there.
After two years, came the painful, horrifying truth: TV5 is losing money - by the billions. The reason is a dead give-away: hardly anyone is watching their shows. Rating is single digit. No audience. No advertisers. Their stars remain unpopular, and worse, those whose stars were still shining prior to the transfer have dimmed soon after. What gives?
With the exception of some: Talentadong Pinoy, Who Wants to be a Millionire, Face-to-Face, the rest of TV5 programs leave a lot to be desired. One viewer's collective assumption says it all: "Shows are stupid, mediocre, shallow, lack creativity and are devoid of quality. TV5 is banking on the idea that all Filipinos are stupid and poor."
Suddenly it dawned on everyone that it's not just the stars that guarantee network profitability. Indeed, some serious thought could have been done prior to executing major decisions. They focused on contracting has-beens at mind-boggling talent fees, but forgot to hire competent minds to run and get the shows going. That was the biggest blunder. No production can make a show succeed if it lacks the skills of brilliant and creative writers, talented directors, and all the right minds that will ensure the quality and content of the program. Otherwise, the show is doomed.
Stars have to be packaged with utmost caution and foresight, to know their professional strengths and weaknesses not just give them projects without thought and study. They should be given regular workshops to further hone and fine-tune their skills. Competition is getting harsher by the day, no one is sacred to be spared.
Rival networks like ABS-CBN and GMA invest so much in their talents and creatives. Not only are workshops done on a regular basis - both the shows and the stars - especially those from Kapamilya are aggressively marketed locally and globally. These translate to not a few endorsements and international projects for the deserving ones.
The planned buying/merging with GMA7 sounds not a brilliant idea if done for the wrong reasons. Doing it to limit and restrain the competition may not be good enough as everyone knows how globally well-placed, unstoppable and aggressive ABS-CBN can be.
What TV5 should do instead is to hire the best minds and pay them accordingly. Along with directors, it's about time that writers, these unsung heroes, are given their just dues.
What about the stars' gargantuan talent fees? I should say that anything or any work that is solely motivated by money will not bring in the best desired results. Proof? It's so close to home, no further proof is needed.
That is why their upcoming star search called Artista Academy with yet another mind-boggling twenty million-peso pot for the top prize sounds like another disaster and embarrassment waiting to happen. Nothing, certainly not the lure of that kind of money can bring out the best talent in anyone, unless talent is properly motivated, nurtured and expertly handled.
We really wish the best for TV5. Mr. Pangilinan has definitely shown to one and all how astute and great a businessman he is. May all his tv investments bear good fruits, in terms of acquiring the best talents and people in the industry.
And these people should better be sure that they deserve to be housed in that P6 billion worth of new TV5 corporate headquarters and studios soon to be completed within the year.
i agree! very well written piece FP!
ReplyDeletevery well said FP! I just have some question, when I was in the philippines I used to watch willie revillame on his noon time show in abs, How is it now? I know he transferred to TV5, is it doing good when it comes to rating?
DeleteHinay hinay lang naman dapat if they want to beat gma and abs. Success doesnt come overnight.
DeleteSaka namirata nga sila ng artista, yung mga patapon pa at laos na!
When u pirate peole, dapat yung at the top of their game and not those na palaos na
Dapat they pirated Piolo, Sarah, Dingdong, Marian yung mga top stars. Buy their contract out. Nagpaka agressive na rin sila sana itinodo na nila.
Nope.... That's where you're wrong. Hindi lahat nasisilaw ng pera. Nag offer na sila kay piolo pero di nila to nakuha. And look at john lloyd na halos lahat ng movies nag hit pero di rin lumipat. And look what happened to the careers of Aga, Sharon & Derek.....where are they now?
DeleteYes! It was rumored that JLC was offered 800 million by TV5, with or without work, but of course, JLC declined :)
DeleteQuestion: aside from the 1B ano yung sinasabi ni mega na reason bakit sya lumipat? Di naman nya inaamin na pera di ba? So ano yung reason na sinasabi nya why she made the switch? Kasi super sa tagal nung sharon na show nya sa ere na kahit perya na At comedy bar at pinakamababang ratings ata sa lahat ng shows sa dos eh pinagpatuloy pa din nila dahil sa hiya kay sharon.. Yun pa ba ang di mahal? Yung biggest looser ok naman eh mas mataas pa nga ratings nun kesa sa talk show nya ngayon sa 5.. Ano ba gusto nyang show? Like kay kristeta? Di talaga bagay sa kanya talk show kasi lahat fave nya.. Si tetay honest yun pag ayaw nya kaya gusto ng tao.. Saka ang in ngayon mga teleserye so dapat nag ganun si mega.. Kaysa sya ang bigyan ng bagay na show Na actually wala namang bagay kasi nga di na pleasant sa tv ang laki, dapat sya ang bumabagay sa mga shows na in ngayon.. Dapat she learn to reinvent herself.. At higit sa lahat... DELETE HER TWITTER ACCOUNT NA! hehe
Deletetanggalin kasi ang malas especially si shrek ferminita!!
ReplyDeleteMajor pampasira c shrek fermin haha!
DeleteCorrect k dyan teh.
Deletekaloka tong comment na itey! hahahahaahahah
DeleteSa lahat ng career ng mga napirata ng TV5... RIP
ReplyDeletehahaha!
DeleteKung ang 20 million na yan ay ipinamimigay na lang sa mahirap matutuwa pa ako. Kaysa sa isang tao lang na manalo nyan at in the end di naman din sisikat. Sinisilaw lang nila ang mga tao sa pera.
ReplyDeletei think that's TV5's mantra - silawin ng pera ang artista at audience. clearly, not everyone can be bought!
DeleteVery well said FP. I think TV5 fails to realize that stars are just a part of the equation that makes a show/channel great. The creative, the crew, and the marketing people work hand in hand to make a phenomenon.
ReplyDeleteNakakapanghinayang lang to think that MVP is "wasting" money on what could've been a promising alternative to ABS and GMA.
Further, ang problema din kasi those artistas MVP are after na sana would help his channel to get a head-on battle with other networks are only seeing him as cash cow. kung meron mang silang ise-share na talent eh pilit. if TV5 would like to be the talk of the town positively including their artistas wherever channel they are, sila na mismong mga artista ang maging creative part behind the cam. i believe that is how the channels yesteryears flourished. mga artista nga noon, pinulot lang kung saan-saan basta mahusay at nakikipagtulungan sa mga istasyon kesehodang kaunti lang ang bayad sa kanila.
Deletesa ngayon din kasi, because of network wars, ang mga artista (and even the other people na lumalabas) ay mere robots ng kung anong gustong ipakita ng mga nakatataas ay iyon lang ang masusunod. Sa ABS-CBN, oo magagaling sila sa pag-arte, nagpupumilit sa comedy. Sa larangan naman ng pambalitaan, remember abs-cbn ay pinakapinagkakatiwalaan kaya naman ng tumakbo sa politika sila ria hontiveros, teddy boy locsin, loren legarda at noli de castro eh nanalo sila. But, that affected the luster of ABS-CBN news at somehow kahit hindi ipahalata ay nakikitang may corporate politics sa kung anong ibabalita. Sa GMA, ok ang comedy. Sa paghubog ng kahusayan ng artista nila, parang si elisa lang, NASAAN? ang kahusayan. Sa GMA current affairs dept nila wala namang masasabi pero kung makabanat sila ng walang kinikilingan, walang pinoprotektahan, parang si Kris Aquino lang kay Manay Lolit before, it cheapens the show.
Suma tutal, TV 5 must learn with the mistakes of other channels. if he shares what is in his mind minus the money, everything will be fine. Indeed people working for the company needs money for their living but if those people do diisregard or are not being accountable that TV 5 is where they get their living, malamang eh maging has-been na ang channel nila.
Bravo! Thank you for this good analysis. Ang galing!
DeleteTinayp mo yan using a fon?!!!? Tiyaga mo Anonymous 12:14! Para lang talaga maiparating mo ang opinion mong Hindi naman gagawin ni MVP o Bigwigs (VIVA) ng TV5! Walamg kwenta!
DeleteBakit, Anon 9:59 PM, ikaw ba eh may suhestiyon o pangaral nang sinunod na ng isang, halimbawa eh, head of state or chairman of a multi billion dollar conglomerate? Hula ko lang eh wala rin, so hinay-hinay lang sa pagsasabi ng walang kwenta next time, hanepo? Echoserang frog.
DeleteVerry well said fo!
ReplyDeletevery well said FP! ABS-CBN should give you credits for this very articulate write-up!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Very objective. Nice piece, FP!
DeleteVery well said 👏👏👏
ReplyDeletekinuha p kc c galvante eh.... wala ngang napasikat n todo sa GMA...
ReplyDeleteI really wish MVP the best. He's putting in a lot of money as an investment and i just hope the people who work for him strive equally hard para maiangat naman yung station. I heard they don't have good reception in several areas so i guess dapat lang i-improve din nila yung 'signal' para naman merong manonood even if it's just out of curiosity. Yes, i agree, their stars should undergo workshops to continually improve themselves or else go into oblivion!
ReplyDeleteI don't. FYI po, si MVP na ang CEO ng Meralco since last year at magtaka kayo kung bakit nagtataas sila ng singil sa kuryente. Kelangan makabawi ng kita...
DeleteYung generation companies po ang nagtaas ng malaki distribution company lang po ang meralco.
DeleteClearly, "Anonymous 1:27 a.m." does not know a single thing about businesses and multi-sectoral corporations.
DeleteAgree July 19, 2012 8:40 AM.
DeleteHay nako July 19, 2012 1:27 AM. Ang pera ng korporasyon ay hindi katulad ng paglilipat ng mga barya mula sa pitaka papunta sa alkansya. Kung ganon na rin lang, matagal nang lumubog si MVP at ibang negosyante.
improve the free TV signal! not everyone has cable. mas malinaw pa ang signal ng mga religious stations.
ReplyDeleteuna, ayaw ng pinoy ang walang loyalty at sakim sa pera. pinalabas nila na namirata sila gamit ang pera. so, kahit anong galing pa ng mga artista, eh nasira na sila sa ganung perception.
pangalawa, the station should look into the market. itarget nila ang youth and mothers. di ba ginawa yan ng abs. nagsimula sa angtv. yung mga fans nila jolina at claud, sinundan sila sa gimmick. nawala ang kinang nila jolens and clau, pero ang dating batang fans nila, tumanda na with abs, at may mga pamilya na loyal sa abs.
pangatlo, mamigay sila ng gadgets/pera throughout the day by encouraging viewers to send their smart mobile numbers. tapos, magparaffle at tawagan. dapat nanunuod para manalo. abs and gma had their all-day raffle.
tama ito lahat!
DeleteKorek! Yan din ang una kong pakiwari sa kanila eh. Kaya lahat ng lumilipat dun like Shawie, Derek, hindi ako natutuwa kasi ang ganda ng trato sa kanila ng home network nila tapos biglang aalis. Sila Maricel at Dolphy naintindihan ko pa kasi naka-tengga sila eh, pero si Derek halimbawa sobrang busy tapos biglang ganon? Cristy Fermin: irrelevant cow. Ruffa G: irrelevant social climbing cow. Shalala: Fugly cow. Mariel and Ruffa Mae: "Meh" and Willie is irreverent and now irrelevant. Tama sabi ni FP: work motivated solely by money will not produce good results.
DeleteFor the raffles, sinubukan na nila yan dun sa wanna-be ASAP show nila noon tuwing Sunday na may 5M pang jackpot money pero walang pumansin.
dito sa amin sa cebu napakalinaw na nga nang tv5 at minsan ang pangit nang signal nang abs-cbn pero nagtitiis talaga kami sa pag-adjust nang antenna namin para lang mapanood ang shows nang kapamilya network
DeleteABS parin talaga kami... Ano namang meron sa TV5 kahit malinaw na ang kanilang signal? Yun pa rin? Si mega?? Laos na nga yun eh!!!
DeleteHahaha! You're so mean, ha! But that's what it is - Truth hurts.
DeleteTotoo yan, one of the problems of ABC 5 is the signal. Parang sa Novaliches lang sila malinaw.
DeleteMalakas ang pakiramdam ko... As in... VibEs talaga... Na pag nagsimula na ang programa ni Derek Ramsey sa Kapatid Network... Hindi pa rin tataas ang ratings nila. Ayan kase!
ReplyDeleteang bilis nang karma
DeleteI really admire your writing. Very direct to the point.
ReplyDeletePacifica
Kaya nagagalit si Mega sa yo fp eh! Obvious na nga, bini I mo pa. Love love Fp!
ReplyDeleteThis article is spot on FP! I was at a TV5 launching event here in Cebu about a year ago (back then the sole problem why Cebuanos haven't gotten into the "TV5 mania" was because of poor signal), and I was talking to one of the staff and asked her "Why don't you hire writers or PR personnel too? How about acting coaches?". She just laughed at me and said that the only people that matter are the celebrities and that the more they bank on them the more chance they'll have of beating the other two networks. Shame.
ReplyDeleteWeh?
Deleteif only they hired me, i could have put my creativity into use. i have so many ideas for a great tv show u know, like csi tondo, patulugin si kuya germs, aawitan kita (hip hop edition), and batibot on ice. oo, ako na ang may bright minds!

DeleteVery well said FP...
ReplyDeleteI had the same thoughts as i was observing some aggressive actions being done by TV5. Yet again, the saying that goes " Viewers are more loyal to the network than to the STARS they idolize" is proven. Sharon Cuneta or AGa muhlach or even Willie Revillame are undoubtedly Industry icons, but sad to say , at the current times, pale in comparison to the likes of Anne Curtis,Angel Locsin, Kim Chiu or Sarah Geronimo in terms of Bankability and mass appeal.
As gabby Lopez once said, "STARS COME AND GO BUT THE NETWORK REMAINS" . The Star Magic, which was formed twenty years ago , is a clear indication that ABS-CBN already prepared a long time ago new batches of stars to replace those who might transfer to other networks.
isa din sa reason kung bakit hindi nila matatalo ang ABS eh kasi aawayin ba nila ang kapamilya network? marami silang negative na sinasabi nang lumipat sila sa tv5 kaya ayan tuloy buti nga!
Deleteyeah! parang nawawala ang shine nila when they transferred to tv5 look at Derek Ramsay parang may biglang kulang sa kanya dunno why
Deleteit took ABS and GMA decades to get to where they are now. TV5 has been on for what like 2 years only? may shortage din kasi sa mga magagaling na directors, scriptwriters, etc. give them a few more years, they may pull a pleasant surprise and change the pinoy TV industry.
DeleteMVP is not the most vest palayer in the teevee areana after owl.
ReplyDelete- MVP is not the most versatile player in the tv industry after all. -

DeleteI agree Anonymous July 19, 2012 1:18 AM! It's really annoying how some people make themselves looks stupid. The comments are not even funny.
DeleteIs this the new jejemon? Here's a heads up: It's ANNOYING AS HELL, and not the least bit amusing.
Deletewhere's ur humor teh?obviously anon 1:18am is just joking.

DeletePatola! Hahahah
Deletehay naku ingles ingles pa kasi. tapos kita na ngang sadya eh pinatulan pa. kaya dumadami ang jejemon eh. tapos magcocorect lang mali pa. vest ginawang versatile. anovei.
DeleteI admire MVP's vision but, yeah, planning and executing aren't as bright. But in all fairness to TV5's show, the concept is there but execution is just... mehhh. IF the station's bank is unlimited, which of course is not, they better invest more on their creative department.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that can also help is having a strong SWOT analysis as their competitors aren't as perfect as the fanatics think. From there, they can weave better plans. Having established stars is a smart thing but their names aren't enough to pull in viewers - quality shows will do the trick. Fresh faces, too, can rake in a large audience share IF they can offer more than just their pretty faces - and that goes to all TV stations.
But on the bright side, it's just two years and grandness doesn't happen over night.
bakit wala ang comment ko FP im just tellin the truth cristy fermin is a jinx malas cya kahit saan kubg sa feng shui pa tanggalin ang negative vibes! hope my comment will come out.
ReplyDeleteyour comment comed out, no worryes :)
DeleteFP I admire that you're not afraid to mention TV5. I have the same sentiments, I think that the show lacks creative juice and substance where good programs is conceptualize carefully hindi smorgasbord ng kung sino-sino at story na walang katuturan.
ReplyDeleteAlam naman natin na mahirap gumawa ng innovative programs pero minsan kahit old concept kung maganda presentation papanoorin ng tao. I heard yung show ni Jodi is a rehash ng Sound if Music pero maganda yung pagkakagawa kaya it's doing well kahit hindi PT.
madami silang shows na laging may kinikilingan. lalo na ung shows na juicy at paaprazzi. madalas sila magsabe ng da who ung artista na ng gma or abs.. pero ndi nila alam mas da who ung artista nila sa tv5.pwera na lang ung mga matatanda na like sharon at willie.. sa gma gusto ko nanonood sa showbiz talkshow.ndi sila naninira, pag blind item bi talaga. mahirap hulaan. sa juicy ndi na bi eh, sinasabe nila. grabeh.
ReplyDeleteYup, I agree with you. Yang si shrek grabe kung manira ng artista especially stars from abs. Panay pa bulunga nila sa show na juicy. Mga walang modo. Akal yata nila eh nakaktuwa sila...ewwwww!!!!
Deletetalagang walang patawad yan.ultimo nga si mo twister na kasama nya sa show biniay agad pagkaalis.
Deletenaku nmn c lucifermin pa! pag talent ng 5 eh wagas makapuri cla! pag talent na ng 2 at 7 eh wagas dn maka bira! kaya bagay lng na malugi cla!malas yang lucifermin na yan!-jade
DeleteSeriously, i stooped watching tv 5 shows or even take a peek on their channel because of Cristy Fermin. She is such a know-it-all and self-righteous beast! She acts as if she's a saint. I wonder why she's still on-air. Sobrang annoying!
Deleteeh bakit pa kayo nanonood?
Deletegustu ko umangat ang tv5 kc nakakasawa na ren puro 7 at 2 pinanonood ko, ala naman kami cable. hahaha sana nga makabawe...
ReplyDeletePaangatin mo..simulan mo na..tingnan natin.
DeleteOo nga mauna ka para mag isa ka ring magsawa
DeleteDito ako sa Sacramento, California and we have TFC since the days of Pangako Sa Yo pa. We never tried to get the GMA bundle because di rin makakanood, ngayon nga available na rin ang TV5 but we still have no inclination to avail it,especially nowadays you can just watch their shows online. We did not even went to San Francisco to watch launching of their network kasi di namin type iyong isa nilang star (host of a game show). I hope TV5 will realize the success of one show is not all about the main cast or their big stars ,it is also about people behind the show. I was watching one of their talk show, the host is one of their biggest star, para yatang walang idea na ang writer, kasi parang halu-halo na lang ang mapag-usapan.
ReplyDeleteFeeler :)
DeleteMiss California Girl,
Delete1) "We did not even GO" and NOT "We did not even went"
2) "one of their talk shows" and NOT "one of their talk show"
3) "one of their biggest stars" and NOT "one of their biggest star"

California ka ba talaga o sa Bambang?
oo na taga california ka na. kami taga cebu lang.
Deletevery well sayed! kudose to this right up
ReplyDeleteNo wonder, even bonuses of Smart Communications employees are affected by this futile expenditure!!!
ReplyDeletei know ryt?! tinatamasa ni mega at derek ang bonus natin! grr!!!
DeleteKaya kulang bonus kc pinang advance payment na kay tv5 for future commercials..
Deletedapat naman talagang walgn bonus ang smart employees. ano bang ginawa niyong maganda?
DeleteNangangain ng lud.
Deletekakalipad lang nina shawie. wowowee, aga , ruffa at derek abroad for the launching of tv5's ala tfc ah... closing pala dapat
ReplyDeletemaghire si manny ng mga magagaling na writers. ang dami kayang matatalino na graduates sa mga universities at walang trabaho. walang choice ang mga ito kundi magpunta sa call centers. instead of artista search, why not launch a national contest like the palanca awards. then pwedeng gawing teleserye yung mananalo.
ReplyDeleteinstead of artista, i-pirate ni manny yung mga nasa creative team at marketing team ng abs at gma. sila ang talagang stars ng mga network.
ReplyDeleteLol bad idea ata to pirate the marketing team of gma. Eh kulang sa PR ang mga artista nila, lahat mga di kilala! Lol
DeleteSi manay shreky fermin ang malas kaya di makausad ang tv 5. Grabe sa pagkasipsip skay mvp at willie. Wala pa siyang credibility, nakakatakot pa fez nya.
ReplyDeleteWalang tigil c shrek fermin sa paninira sa mga talants ng abs ayan nakarma tuloy
Deletekorek ginagamit lang nila stars ng ABs para panuorin sila eh kulelat nman tsk sibakin si shrek!!!
Deleteinstead of mga mainstream artista, hire those in the theater kasi magagaling sila. invest heavily in the marketing department. involve popular bloggers sa mga tv launch. minsan may magaganda namang show ang tv5 hindi lang napropromote ng mahusay.
ReplyDeletepara namang hindi alam ni mr. pangilinan that every large company or corporation, may R&D department, competent team na lilibutin ang buong bansa at mag reresearch kung ano ang papatok sa mga pilipino ngayon..dapat pati mga produkto na ginagamit ng maga tao inaalam nila para alam nila kung sinong advertisers ang kukunin. As for the talents, dapat lagi may workshops to further hone their craft.sayang talaga yung perang iniinvest..ayan nalugi tuloy. Hindi ba nag 6 Sixma si mr. pangilinan?
ReplyDeletevery well said po... sana kasi bago cla mamirata ng big artist eh my project cla naka set hndi ung kukuha nlng cla basta ng artista sikat para masabi nila contract arist nila. sikat nga pero tinatangkilik ba ng tao? hndi nmn eh. matalino ngayon ang mga tao, gsto nila fresh at talented ung nakikita at napapanood nila. hndi ung sikat nga, malaki nga tf nila pero may shows ba, visible ba cla sa tv. hinahanap ba cla ng tao like ung mga lumipat sa knila, hndi nmn db? tska puro cla press release na my shows na gagawin pero until now wla pa din, after ng isang show tapos na like kay aga, laki budget ng show nya pero wat happened.. sayang lng. swerte nlng ni goma now. gumuwapo cya, bumata,. sana bgyan nila ng quality programs ang mga tao at mag invest cla sa mga writers at directors. nagmumukhang cheap mga shows nila. kahit sikat mga artista mo at kung pangpalengke nmn shows mo non sense lng. talagang malulugi lng cla.
ReplyDeletetama.una nilang tsugiin ang kapitan awsome b yun?walang kwentang show sa totoo lang.At si Goma,he made the right decision when he preferred walang hanggan kesa ibang show na inoffer ng tv5.tingnan mo sumikat uli sya.
DeleteEven Nora Aunor didn't make things change. I barely knew that her serye started nor concluded. And just like what krizzy tweeted, their scenes were like taken by phone cameras.
ReplyDeleteAnd what i hate is that one of their most watched shows is Face2Face which shows scripted barbarism. It's even shown in daytime where kids watch.
Very well said,FP !! Spend the billions sa"creative" dept. not sa mga over-priced has-beens and no-names na rejects from other networks !
ReplyDeleteE kasi naman imbis na naglabas ng malaking PERA para sa mga has beens na e dapat sumubok muna ng ilang creative programs na me new or undiscovered talents and then nagimprove ng signal at gumastos sa promotions. Mas maliit pa nagastos sana nila kesa magbayad ng super mega "talent" fee sa mga pinirata nila. Kawawa naman tuloy ung ibang mga Tao working na mawawala ung mga programs. Sana Hindi agad super mga talent fee dahil wala pa naming viewership at Hindi pa ganun ka established. Pero sana makabawi at lesson na Ito mga kinunuha kasi nilang mga talent marami pa haters kesa sa talagang tumatangkilik! Sana maging part ako ng TV5. Hahahahahaha!
ReplyDeletedapat ang hinire ni mvp na mga executives eh yung m mga experiences na talaga sa tv broadcasting at hindi yung mga talent managers ng mga artista.wala silang actual exposure sa mga ganitong bagay.iba ang pagmamange lang ng mga talents o artista kesa sa isang kompanya.sa kagustuhan nilang maimpress boss nila ayan kung ano2x pinaggagawa tuloy imbes maimpress nadistress boss nila.
Deletemy same sentiments too. i think those big stars who transferred didn't think of their future..derek has good projects with star cinema, it made him who he is now..famous. he left ABS in exchange of millions, triple his current salary maybe? but where is he now? ok u will see him in commercials, etc..but a good project coming? he wish. i admire john lloyd or even piolo who admitted that he got an offer too..and even sam milby right? and im sure some of the big stars in ABS or GMA..these people made the right choice..its not all about money noh. MVP is exaggerated about his offers. san ka naman nakakita, ang talent fee ng artista na ni pirate nya..say 5million...gagawing billion, kaloka.
ReplyDeleteIn fairness to ABS, they have formal and official training and offers so that their artists can secure their money. For instance, Julia Montes mentioned that 50% of her income goes directly to her savings. She didn't divulge much but I think she was taught to invest on a time deposit para hindi magalaw ung money.
DeleteI know the big stars of TV5 have their own na but they did it by choice. ABS, in a way, aims to educate their artists on how to handle their finances while they are at their peaks.
I am not saying how benevolent ABS is. Kasi sa initiative nilang ito, kumikita pa din sila but then malaki pa din ang naitutulong sa artista if they are honed holistically.
And now Derek has no choice but to bask in the glory of his new title "Ambassador to the London Olympics" just so he can still remain ... relevant.
DeleteAgree,
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have the younger TV5
Anyone remember? Ang makikita mo lang noong early days ay face-to-face, few gameshows, OGAGS, at animes
Sana ibalik yun, I'd rather watch that kind of shows than what is offered now.
Ibalik mo ateh..ikaw nakaisip eh.
Deletemuch better pa rin ang ABC 5 may tropang trumpo, wow mali, eto rangers, sailormoon at slam dunk pa at ballroom dancing pa noon.
Deleteat sing galing ni aiai kung saan naging grand champion si ethel booba...
Deletepinapalabas pa po ba ang extreme home makeover sa tv5?
ReplyDeleteWla ng extension ate..kc bankrupt na.
DeleteABC5 was much more fun to watch than TV5. Mas exciting mga palabas tsaka mas bago sa paningin. Yung ngayon puros nostalgia ginagawa - remake ng Valiente, remake ng Bagets, remake ng kung anu-ano. Tapos laging mismatch naman yung casting. Alex Gonzaga, anak ni Dina B and Gabby C? Bakit nila pinagpipilitan si Ritz Azul na bukod sa hindi na mukhang bata (kaka-18 lang nya) kamukha pa nya si Devon Saron ng PBB Teens. Nostalgia rin ang ginagawa ng Dos but they sure know how to make the whole thing fresh. Nagkaroon sila ng showbiz talkshow na puro negative ang vibes. Pagsamahin mo ba naman si Cristy Fermin, Mo Twister, IC Mendoza and Shalala. Sinong makikipag-cooperate sa inyo in the future kung lahat ng simpleng bagay ng artista blina-blind item nyo. And 20M prize for a talent show? Walang baguhan ang deserving ng ganyang kalaking pera. Bakit hindi sila mag-invest sa satellite or kung ano man para luminaw yung reception? Para akong nanonood ng Pangarap Kong Jackpot lagi. Parang Instagram yung ginamit na camera. ABC5 had some success kahit walang stars. Remember yung show ni JM Rodriguez, Asia Agcaoili, Kada (Mylene Dizon and company) and Maverick and Ariel? They all did well kahit wala silang mga name. Sa kanila rin yung Tondominium and Tropang Trumpo. They ruled the 90s and early 00s because they offered a fresher alternative dun sa 2 giant networks.
ReplyDeleteEntertainment isn't MVP's thing. Masyado syang mabait para sa ganitong industriya. Kung gusto nya mag-succeed, kailangan niyang kalimutan lahat ng nalalaman nyang business ethics. Iba sa showbiz. Malupit ang mundo na yan.
There are a few good things going for the station:
1. Wala silang utang. Mas liquid sila kesa dun sa dalawa. Sila lang yung nagbabayad ng tapat sa contractors nila.
2. They control the kuryente. Pretty soon, pati GMA.
3. Magkakaroon sila ng state-of-the-art studio located in Mandaluyong.
Amen to this! Sobrang agree ako sayo.
DeleteMeron na ring ginagawa ang ABS na state of the art na studio.
DeleteKung wala silang utang, ano yung mga posts na Nagsasabi na di daw sila nakakabayad on time sa caterers? Totoo ba yun?
DeleteAng mali mo lang ay ng sinabi mong walang utang. paki-basa po ulit. MALAKI ANG UTANG. BILLIONS PO!
DeleteI have to agree with you. But then again I guess MVP's mistake is that he invested into a bad management. I don't think he is totally hands on with TV5 like he is with his other ventures. Of course yung mga "giveaways" ay suggested na lang sa kanya ng kanyang advisers. Unfortunately, the people he left with the responsibility are not that competent enough.
DeleteTama talaga yung article. Nothing good comes from a rotten core.
tama ka, gusto ko ung show ni jm rodriguez at ariel and maverick.. very creative!
DeleteMVP shouldn't have dipped his hand in showbiz. It is not his forte. He had succeeded in other ventures like telecommunications, realty, power, etc. But in showbiz, he is bound to fail. Both GMA and ABS has loyal viewers aready. TV5 can not just change the viewing habits of the people. Only Talentadong Pinoy has succeeded kasi it actually pioneered the talent show genre (ginaya lang din ng It's Showtime). Likewise, Face to Face is also quite an original.
ReplyDeleteLet's wait for the Amazing Race Philippines of Derek. Baka naman sakaling mag hit.
SINO2 SA TINGIN NIYO ANG DAPAT MATANGGAL SA TV 5? ARTISTA/ SHOWS/ NEWS AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS HOSTS/SHOWS....ETC..
ReplyDeleteSi Alex Gonzaga hindi magaling and ang arte arte ng starlet na yan... oo na ako na ang mas maganda.
DeleteYUng mga TULFO Brothers na kayayabang, eh mga bay--- din naman! Eeewww
DeleteKorek na korek ka dyan. Napaka arte nyang alex gonzaga na yan...akala mo kung sinong maganda..hayyyy!!!!
Deletecristy shrek fermin, ruffa g sharon mga laos at malas pa!
DeleteIc mendoza, shrek fermin , alex gonzaga puro mga feeler mga malas sa tv5
Deleteparang halos lahat ng stars nila na-enumerate na. haha
Deletejust limit the exposure of Alex Gonzaga.masakit man tanggapin but she has no appeal.
Deletedapat iterminate n yang mga tulfo bros. pati n rin ang creative team nila, c perci intalan, paolo bediones, wilma galvante, cristy fermin, shalala, at marami pang iba.... baguhin nila ang shows nila...
DeleteCristy Fermin, Cristy Fermin, Cristy Fermin, and did i say Cristy fermin? Lol
DeleteVery well said FP! Puro frontliners ang ginagastusan nila (artists) which is mali. They should hire creative minds that would make their artists and shows really tick and make viewers watch.
ReplyDeleteBut first MVP should hire good managers
DeleteUnbeatable and unstoppable talaga ang ABS!!!
ReplyDeleteTried to watch a few of their shows and couldn't help but observe that their shows are "lifeless", walang spirit, walang soul, 'ika nga. For that Sunday gameshow, parang pilit na pilit magpatawa, magpasaya. I bet you, even the hosts are bored to death with all the silly games they had to endure. I find their shows almost time-warped and at times, an insult to the viewr's intelligence. Lumang gimmick, lumang style, pati set, parang napaglumaan na ng ibang networks.
ReplyDeleteTheir rival networks not only have the experience but also have that vigor and soul to put up a show in less than 24 hrs if needed. Proof is the temporary replacement of Showtime when they got suspended or a quick replacement for Wowowee nung nagkakagulo.
For me, another perfect examle was the seamless program ABS did for Mang Dolphy wake at the Dolphy Theatre. Now, that was seamless even if they had to work through the night to get the job done. ABC's program the following day, which probably had their biggest stars in attendance was just so haphazard and yun bang, magawa lang.
TV5's radio on TV (ala DZMM leaves much to be desired too). I chanced upon this midnight show by Shalala and John Nite this week. Ang sakit sa ulo, ang sakit sa bangs! Yun bang makapagsalita lang. There was portions in the program when they would play requested songs and to my horror, sinasabayan pa ni Shalala ng pagkanta. Akala nya siguro cute. Goodness, it was horrifying!
hahaa kalokahhh si shalala ang sidekick dati ni "patulugin si kuya germs"...
Deleteang fear ko lang ay bawiin ni mvp ang losses sa ibang utilities na pag-aari niya (meralco, smart, pldt, mmc, maynilad, etc...).
ReplyDeletenangyayari na nga ate eh, nakakatakot diba,. consumers like us ang nag ssuffer sa loss ni MVP because of TV5. it may sound cruel but this is really what's happening. lahat ng binili ni MVP na utilities, nagtataasan ang presyo. grabe lang talaga
Delete-aubrey
MVP is not the sole proprietor for all his three companies. Of course, this needs to be decided by the board. And mas malaki ang magiging loss ni MVP if the funds for his companies go into one pool.
DeleteCorporate business is not like distributing money from your wallet into your coin purses. Although there are major setbacks in the services of PLDT and Smart/Sun, there is no way na it is related with TV5's demise. Again, mas lalong malaki ang itatalo ni MVP pag ginawa nya yon. And it may only happen if it is the same board for all his companies, which of course is impossible.
Just to add, if ever that happens, makikita natin na magliliquidate ung mga companies. Mag-oopen ng mergers or ibebenta din like what some Lopezes did before. Kasi staple utility providers na yan so hindi pwedeng basta-bastang may pumapasok or lumalabas na pera mula sa mga company na yan going into a totally different venture.
DeleteAng ABS CBN has "Templates" and "Troubleshooting Guide" already. Yes they do have their share of low rating shows and unsuccessful projects but they know how to BOUNCE BACK into the game. Risk Taker but knows when and where to gamble. ABS lang yata ang alam kong kayang maging click ang mga tambalan na hindi mo aakalain mg cli click like Julia and Coco, John Lloyd and Angel, Judy Ann and Derek and marami pang naging successful na tandems on screen na hindi mo ineexpect magre-rate. Too late but the billions of Sharon, Willie, Aga can not bring them back. I remember on one article or write up Sharon says its only KC na mahal na mahal ang ABS. KC is right, she will lose everything pag lumipat siya and will just be in Sharon's shadow definitely. Even VIVA is probably saying salamat at hindi ako ng give in ilipat sina Anne, Sarah sa TV5!!!!
ReplyDeleteWas the planned acquisition made as early as ten years ago even prior to securing ABC5? No advertisers? really? so what are those commercials? its merely two years old. of course it needs to lose money. its an investment. it normally goes up after five years. and the rating was merely less than 2 percent when it took over from ABC5 and now its 15 to 17% after two years. is that not an improvement? it will not be able to get into the status of abs-cbn and gma in a matter of two years. i dont know why FP has been against tv5 lately.
ReplyDeleteand why you against FP then?
Deleteyes it was only 2 years, but the initial capital investment used was too much for the returns they are getting now. That is why FP made some suggestions if you haven't notice. It was an unbiased comment and suggestion and it is up to Mr. Pangilinan if he would consider or not, because after it is his money that was going down the drain.
Deletesuggestion lng ni FP yan teh! defensive agad?
DeleteI think FP is just stating what is obvious. If your asking for facts that would verify his claim then just look at surveys.
DeleteWow sino kaya sa mga tv5 execs 2?
DeleteAnon 10:12 Why you're such in denial? Can't you see the big writing on the wall? Crap!
DeleteIt couldnt be the reception issue, it's the shows talaga... Dati nung wala pang piratahan they were gearing for teen viewers, ngayon hindi mo na alam. All their soaps were fashioned from the 90's ata. Walang sense. Etc has better programming.
ReplyDeleteFP, please show us some documentary proof or other sources of facts and figures. Or kahit link lang.
ReplyDeleteAlso, was the word 'Lie' in the title intentional? ;)
Yes FP, why don't you provide us links? You don't automatically assume that all of your readers will eat everything you write, di ba? Kung magsusulat ka ng ganito. better provide us with some documents.
DeleteWow, mag-demand pa daw kay FP. Why don't you research it yourself since online ka naman? It's very easy, kelangan pa ba ituro yan sa iyo? All you have to do is type the KEY WORDS,then click and VOILA! You have the answers waiting for you. Simple, di ba? Try mo, wag masyadong dependent 'teh esp since you said that you don't want to eat everything that's posted here, then you should be the first to verify the facts, ok?
DeleteJust so u know FP wont write it here if he hasn't verified the info.
DeleteSorry 2:17 PM, but I don't have the mind like yours. Sorry if some people here knows when to accept or reject ideas, as well as be critical. At least hindi sila suso na nakakapit sa kung anong meron.
DeleteSorry rin kung ang galing galing mo sa research. Sorry talaga.
How sure are you that FP verified the info? So kung anong sabihin ni FP, yun na yun, really? Wow, I'm not gonna use the word pathetic but I cannot think of other term for some people here na ginawang bibliya ang fashion pulis. I read this blog, okay.... but if FP have the freedom of speech to write something about the bankruptcy of the network, I have the same rights to contest. How sure am I that he's telling the truth? Statements/Articles/Blog Entries like this should have some proof and not just a well written entry. Kawawa naman ang mga taong kain lang ng kain sa mga sinasabi ni FP. Huwag masyadong bilib na bilib. Isip isip din. Kung tutuusin, this is considered as paninirang puri.
DeleteAlam mo Anon 10:23, ikaw ang klase ng tao na hindi dapat pinapatulan. Laki ng problema mo eh nasa kamay mo lang naman ang sagot! Dakdak ka ng dakdak eh bakit andito ka pa? Get lost! Maghanap ka ng papatol sa iyo, but you'll never find it here. Sorry ka na lang!
DeleteIf I may add, if Sharon, or Aga waited they could have a soap with a good storyline and a stellar cast! sometimes its a matter of timing and if you are patient enough, ayun jackpot! Si Richard is categorically laos na but look at him now, shining as if hindi siya nawala. and suddenly ABS turned him to an important celebrity once again. Look at Janice sa SIR every Saturday looking radiant maski mataba pa rin, with grace and hindi bakya. Look at Ms Amy Austria in Lorenzos Time nabibihisan na! clearly marunong ang ABS mg showcase and magmarket.
ReplyDeleteay dito ako agree! galing ng ginawa nila with richard and yes si janice! pleasant looking uli sa TV.
Deleteand good thing bumali si eula to ABS. tingnan mo nangyari kay jean garcia nung lumipat sa gma.
Sa pagkakaalam ko, all the big stars na lumipat mga ayaw ng teleserye.. Kesyo daw kasi di nila deserve yung puyatan na taping.. Di nila type yung itatape today tapos mamaya na din gabi ang airing sa primetime bida.. Yan ang complain ni lorna t. kaya sya tumigil sa abs di nya kinaya yung teleserye nila ni coco, tinapos lang nya dahil pagod daw sya sabay lipat sa tv5 nagteleserye din pero wala namang puyatan daw malaki pa bayad.. Yun ang reason bakit sya lumipat..
DeleteSi mega naman nabasa ko before di nya na daw kaya ang teleserye same as aga pati ata si maricel soriano ganun din sabi kasi ganun daw naexperience nya sa vietnam rose ang puyatan..BUT..... ISANG MALAKING PERO... pwede naman sila magdemand ng gaya ni kris a. At juday na tinatapos muna ang kalahati ng teleserye saka start mag-air? So meaning pwede ayaw lang nila or baka nagpapataas ng lresyo or baka sila ang choosy sa role o baka naman sila ang ayaw bigyan hanggat di sila FIT.. aga and sharon physically fit.. At least si goma gwapo pa din... Kaya may K!
Kahit ano pang sabihin ni mega na sinisiraan sila ni derek ng abs kaya sila inaayawan ng tao... Di naman kapanipaniwala kasi matatalino na tao.. Kung yun ngang mga may bad reputation like cristine reyes o kahit si marian nagrarate pa naman ang show kesa sa kanila.. Ano pa reason nila why sila flop? As for derek, he has a point na kaya dya lumipat dahila sa amazing race na forte nya talaga at gusto nya, gets ko sya dun.. But after that series na walang kasiguruhan kung masusundan after 1 season, saan na sya pupulutin? Smart kaya ang decision nya? Mukhang short term lang ang tiningnan nya.. Nagkaroon nga sya ng sports oriented show.. Madami naman mawawala sa kanyang endorsements kasi nga di na sya visible.. Sa lahat sa tv 5 sino may pinakamaraming endorsements, commercial sa tv at print? Si mega mcdo na lang, si willie sarili nyang building at mga sponsors lang walang big brand.. Si derek unti unti ng nawawala ang commercials nya.. Si na alex, nagkaroon ba? Dun palang eh malalaman na kung may market ba sila.. Sayang lang pera ni mvp.. Kung sana ginawa na lang nyang lahat ng patok na us tv series finranchise nya tapos palabas dito ng sabay.. Mas papatok pa.. Sad to say di na kaya tibagin ang 2 big network..
I agree! Look at Janice right now....she's blooming, decent looking and fresh! And Carmina V. is shining again! :)
Deleteit's what u call right packaging.
DeleteMagaling tlaga magpatakbo c MVP ng negosyo,kita naman sa mga kompanyang hawak nia na mga industry leaders,pero parang nagkamali yata cia ng tancha sa pagpasok sa showbiz industry.... hehehehe
ReplyDeletegusto kasing makatikim ng mga artista kaya pinasok ang showbiz kalokah... gustong tumulad kay deodorant hahahahahahaah
DeleteKorek na korek na korek
ReplyDeletedi ba mga 9pm na natatapos ang willie? instead of teleserye. magsit-com na lang muna sila. iba ibang sitcoms everyday. parang hindi na sila makakahabol sa mga teleserye ngayon. i used to love their hapi together. bilhin ni manny yung rights ng john and marsha, im sure dadami ang manonood sa kanila.
ReplyDeletethese are suggestions. sana basahin ng tv5. i really want them to succeed if only to change what's offered on local tv ngayon.
yes, I agree with you, maganda ang sitcoms nila. please do not have Alex Gonzaga on your drama shows, she is not good in that category. She should be in comedy shows. and also, that Danica girl, mas bagay siyang contravida, she looks very snobbish. TV5 should have a "Mr.M" in their company.
DeleteAgree on Alex Gonzaga. Nakakapagtaka kung paano napunta sa showbiz yan. Tagal tagal na, wala pa rin talent up to now. Feelingera pa, kaloka!
Deleteclap...clap with matching standing ovation to you fp....
ReplyDeleteVery well said FP, clap clap clap....sana next time imention mo din na ang mga suppliers nila e hindi nila nababayaran ng maayos it takes 6 to 1 year bago mabayaran ang catering, tents, generators...tapos kapag nagpa-follow up ka ng bayad hindi ka papasukin sa marajo tower, hindi mo alam kung knino ka dapat mag-follow up....kaya minsan ngte-taping sila iniiwan na tlga sila ng supplier, nakakaawa ung production....sana lang tlga ayusin nila ung pagbabayad nila kc nakakainis malaman kung gaano sila ka-generous sa mga STARS pero ung mga people behind production pinababayaan nila.
ReplyDeleteBaka kunin ka na nila FP! haha
ReplyDeletelahat ng lumipat sa TV5 mga mukhang pe-- lalo na yang si taba.....
ReplyDeleteWow! huge losses! but i guess that's how serious MVP is to become number one in this industry.
ReplyDeletetinapon na ng ABS, pinulot pa ng GMA tapos wla ng silbi saknila binasura din, pinipilit irecycle nmn ng TV5. dapat gawin ng tv5 alamin mabuti ung nabubulok sa hndi nabubulok. lalo na ung walang pakinabang.Hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteso true... it wouldn't look good if these stars went groveling again to their old networks ....
ReplyDeleteit's all about content! hellloooo???
ReplyDeleteTrue
Deleteconfirmed sharon show will get AXED??
ReplyDeletehay naku ang bagal bagal ng dsl connection, sana ginamit na lang nya ang pera sa pag ayos ng internet connection kesa sa mga walang kwentang tv shows ng kapatid network.
ReplyDeletesad nmn ndi nppost comment ko kahit isa man lng wla..haizt!
ReplyDeleteFP fully knows that just like any other business, you'll have to incur losses before you rake in profits.
ReplyDeleteAng dami dami niyong sinasabi na it lacks creative juice blah blah blah... kung makapagsalita kayo ha??? Uy mga neng, pinapanood niyo ba? At napanood niyo ba lahat ng shows para sabihin niyo yan? Dami niyong alam pero ang totoo wala kayong alam. Mga sawsawero at sawsawera lang kayo.
ReplyDeleteOMG. My eyes cannot take it anymore... Ang daming opinionated ek ek dito. Ok, freedom of speech... But please, anong klaseng tao naman ang mga reader mo FP? Kung makapagsalita eh akala mo bihasang bihasa sa pagpapatakbo ng isang network.... Kung sabagay, ano nga naman ang i-eexpect mo mula sa mga taong ito.... the fact that they had a lot to say about this issue means dun na lang nila pinaikot buhay nila. Magtrabaho na lang kayo mga teh....
ReplyDeleteI hope FP approves my comment. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it is too early to indict, so to speak, MVP as regards TV5's performance. It has only been around for two years. I underscore this fact because of the way ABS and GMA came about. Their establishment were historic moments in Philippine history. TV was not so common back then so they had to struggle as well I am sure. Their history is more pronounced after the Martial Law era.
TV5 was a repackaged output. Nothing wrong with that. But it came about at a time when "loyalties" are carefully delineated. I am not just talking about talents but US as well, the viewers; the consumers.
However, I think anyone who thinks that money is the only currency is a fool. We also have loyalty, friendship, passion, artistic vision etc.
Then again, MVP is a businessman. He knows what he is doing I think. Philex and PLDT seem to be doing well.
All the stations have good and bad shows. I watch Kapamilya shows mostly and I have some observations:
1. NEWS. I like ANC, particularly the new afternoon line up. It is fresh and along the lines of CNN and BBC.
Sadly, the same thing is not true for TV Patrol. Napakatabloid lang. And what is up with Kabayan, Ted and Korina giving out their opinions?! Di ba dapat objective yung pagbabalita? You need to present the best form of the argument by giving all the facts. I want to see the a gentleman's (or woman's) way of broadcasting like Angelo Castro and Tina Palma. Puwede na rin si Coco Alcuaz and Bernadette Sembrano.
Elitist na kung elitist ang dating but we have to raise the level of newscast in the country by avoiding the tabloid style of reporting. Puwede din naman mag Filipino without sounding like a tabloid.
Also, what is up with CCTV Patrol? That's a thing now by the way.
I hate that they have to dumb down the news. We Filipinos should be offended. You do not assume that the ordinary Filipino is not capable of recognizing quality newscast.
2. TELESERYES. Congratulations that they are doing well. However, ABS should try other formulas. Like, for once, walang love story or hindi yun yung main focus. Why not make it educational? Like shows about politics or whatever. Gets nyo? Show the Filipino the ins and outs of these things because it affects them. Think The West Wing. Di ba, may public service na rin.
Puwede din alternative plots like Lost ganun? Why not try something new?
3. LESSEN IMPORTED SHOWS. Period.
4. BRING BACK COMEDY! Different comedy shows every day of the week Puro na lang iyak, sampalan at sabunutan. We need a good laugh too. I am thinking, before Bandila like that? Three primetime dramas, 30 mins of comedy then Bandila.
5. ASAP. Uh, can we please let the singers do the singing, the dancers the dancing and the non-dancers and non-singers do anything except sing and dance. Kain nalang sila ng apoy or something. And minimize, if not eliminate, lip synching.
6. OTHERS. Invest in good people and good facilities. IN TV Patrol and ASAP, parang ang sikip sikip nila tingnan.
And, pay your people, talents and staff better. Money is still an incentive to do better, realistically speaking.
So far, yun lang naman. :)
Just look at the billboards around, ABS CBN and GMA stars lang... majority are abs pa rin. Clearly the advertisers know where to bank their money.If I may recall Sharon halos nakasabay na siya ke Kris sa dami ng endorsements before but now paubos na. Juday is now the most important actress of ABS. Kung ako sa GMA, I will bank on Carla Abellana instead of Marian. Me hatak ang mga commercials niya, natural lang walang arte. I love her face, she acts well and kung me workshops pa baka mas gumaling pa. Kaso wala, mahina GMA sa publicity. Instead of concentrating on the young stars who has not proven anything yet. And Rhian Ramos??? wag na pag aksayahan! Aminin na natin, the stigma will always be there. Katrina was not able to fully recover kaya ng Mommy na lang and good for her. You know these formulas are invested long long ago pa. Definitely cannot be done instantly by TV5 maski madami pa Bilyones nila!
ReplyDeleteUng news segment nila sana ireformat!ang panget!ang panget ng set!walang kabuhay buhay! idagdag mo pa si cheryl cosim na wla dn kabuhay buhay! ndi ko mawari ang style niya sa damit! so dull and so boring! match sila ng set nila! lifeless!dinaig pa siya ni mel tiangco manamit to think na mas di hamak na mas bata siya kay mel!
ReplyDeleteBakit di nyo subukan i-pirate ang mga bright minds ng ABS-CBN? Offer them 10 times of what they get from the Lopezes. And I bet you, sure as hell that TV5 is gonna rebound big time. The problem is: Kung papayag silang mapirata nyo! Bwahahaha! Karma sa inyo yan!
ReplyDelete
