When networks employ child star talents to ink management contract with them, it is imperative that special provisions are in place to make sure that their rights as children are protected. The government has been strict on this as contained in the provisions of DOLE ( Department of Labor and Employment) a government organization that safeguards the rights of the working children (15 years old and below) against a working environment that is abusive - mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful.
But apart from that, there are some violations that exist and these have something to do with management contract. A major network MN has a child star CS under its management. The little star is not that popular yet but talented enough to get MN's interest to put her under its roster of talents. In fact the little girl had already appeared in a teleserye topbilled by MN's most popular loveteam. When the show ended several months ago, MN already stopped giving projects to CS.
When they inquired from MN executives, they were told that MN can not be made to adjust their program's taping schedules to suit CS'. Apparently, the child is attending school and her camp asks MN for considerations or a little adjustment so that she wouldn't miss school and can still work, something which was contained in the contract that CS signed with them in the first place. What CS' camp was asking is exactly the provision contained under DOLE. But sad to say, MN prefers to look the other way and violate their own contract.
What's making it more difficult is that CS has other offers from another major network AN where her schedules would not be a problem because the program itself make adjustments' to their talents' school schedules. Thus CS' camp requested MN that she be released from the contract with them. But sadly, they were always given the run around. Months after, when they made a follow-up, CS camp was disgusted that until then, everything hasn't moved at all, and all they heard were delaying tactics. Apparently, MN wouldn't want to release CS, even though they were not giving her any project for so long.
Lately, MN has been on the losing end after a series of exposes and controversies on the way they are handling/mishandling their stars. Some of their talents are now quietly talking how badly they are treated and paid as compared to stars of other networks. Is this why there are more MN talents now who are non-committal at renewing contracts and have been hinting at transferring networks? This we'll get to see in a few weeks.
"There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they can grow up in peace." - Kofi Annan

Deletehahaha...pag nagaral pwede tumangkad? kung alam ko lang...nagaral sana ako :-)
Deletesino etich na bata si bungisngis ba? Ahaha
ReplyDeletesi liit nga cguro to... lipat na lang sya sa K P para mas mahasa ang talent, at maisama sya sa G B :)
ReplyDeletemay sikat bang child star sa kanguso network? wa ko knowsing. kahit nga teen stars nila hindi ko kilala except kay prince of mall shows hahahaha
ReplyDeleteows, talaga?! feeling is mutual teh, di ka rin nila kilala.
Delete6:22am, your comment is irrelevant. Panu makikilala si 2:01, artista ba siya? Pls don't bash just for the heck of it. Just saying.
Deleteme too di ko knows ang mga child star ng kapuso.
Deletetalaga. napakaliit naman ng mundo mo.
Deletesi J tsaka R lang din kilala ko sa kaheart... da who si G??
DeleteWala naman sana magalit sa ken kasi parang pag magsabi ka ng opinion mo dito maraming super nega agad kung maka-react. Pero di ko lang talaga type manood ng palabas ng kapu** kaya di ko rin kilala ang mga bata sa kanila. Hindi dahil maliit ang mundo namin kundi di lang talaga namin kilala.
Deletepa kabit kasi kayo ng cable para malinaw ang reception...kaya siguro wala kayong kilala e...bwehehehe!
DeleteMay kanya-kanya lang preferences yan. Kung hindi feel panoorin ang ka-chuva, e di hindi. Wala akong makita na masama don para mag re-act ka ng ganyan 'te...
DeletePag talaga sa isang channel ka lang nanonood, di mo makikilala yung nasa kabila, nothing wrong with that. Pero, just because you don't know them doesn't mean di talaga sila popular. Also, kung di mo rin pala kilala, why say anything?
DeleteKudos to you, FP. ganito dapat ang expose sa mga network na nangaabuso sa mga kiddie talents. sobrang garapal na 'to. A is a super mega top honors grad, bar topnotcher, best schools in the world - she should know better. these kids need to study, buti pa if they didn't want to, but they do!
ReplyDeleteExactly! I think DOLE should try to be more vigilant re abuses committted by networks to their child talents, that includes the extras they hire for their shows. They are all being abused. Sobra na ang greed!!
DeleteHindi sya bar topnotcher. Iba ang nagtop ng bar sa batch nila at nagprotesta nga sila dahil dun. Well irrelevant na rin yan dahil d pala pagka atty ang gusto nya kundi mag-showbiz!
Deletewitit ko knows si child star. basta ang network ay ang kay A
ReplyDeleteNetwork ni F. Hayst!
DeleteChild star is G
DeleteAng alam ko dito eh maraming demands at difficult to negotiate with ang mother. Kaya mismong ang non-network manager ng bata eh nag-give up na rin.
ReplyDeleteAgreee matagal nang chismax sa kanguso...kaya mas nabibigyan ng project yung isa nilang childstar si M.
Deletegusto ko na yatang maniwala kay labatiba ah?! ba't may bad press kayo ngayon? whatever happened to your PR machine MN? sobrang kagahaman na 'yan! kasalanan yan ah?! remember the beatitudes!
ReplyDeletenakakaloka.. sino si G na child star? and kilala ko lang is si liit at iglot hehe
ReplyDeleteCha cha!!!!! Tayo na magcha-cha!!!!! Para maiba!!!
ReplyDeleteang daming comments...wala man lang clue.
ReplyDeleteyun nga e
DeleteYan hirap pag galing sa kanguso yung mga na b BI nga HINDI SIKAT AT KILALA!!! lol tapos lagi pa nag claclaim na number 1 station daw sila lol
ReplyDeleteExcuse me, mas marami pong hndi nakapag-aaral sa mother ignasia kesa sa kamuning. Fact
DeleteAnonymousFebruary 18, 2013 at 5:09 PM: yung mga sinasabi mo naman ay choice nila yun na wag muna magaral pero iba naman yung kwento ng batang ito,gusto nya magaral...
Delete5:09 PM may program po ang taga mother ignacia na hindi nakakapasok sa school no. at kung sinasabi mong mas maraming di nakapag aral sa kanila, natural mente mas marami silang roster of talents di tulad sa kabila beinte lang yata lahat lahat haha
Deletebuti pa ang batang ito na BI ni FP eh yung mga sinasabi nilang "stars" ng kangu** hindi napapansin hahaha
ReplyDeletestarlet hindi stars
DeleteHirap naman hulaan yang child star G na yan. May kinalaman ba ito sa mismanagement between A and B na in-expose ni Enema? Kangu...langot ako, pero sad naman yan. :-(
ReplyDeleteBakit akala nyo ba yung karibal ng suspected network nung bata e me ethics din, e di ba na BI din sila dito sa FP.
ReplyDeleteClue naman Kung ano shows Nya dati
ReplyDeletethe monster strikes again :)
ReplyDeleteHay, kung totoong maglilipatan yung mga stars ng kap sa kap, mapipilitan na rin akong maging kap.

Deletedon't you guys notice. this mn is really harsh especially to their talents whom they would know to have plans of transferring to the other network. try to recall the things that happened to the other talents before particularly the women.
ReplyDeleteclues pls :(
ReplyDeleteNatapos na ako magbasa ng comments..ndi ko pa din kilala ung child star..hahahaha.. si cha2 at jw lang kilala ko dun eh..
