Just Brush Off the Fans

The network of Oblivious Talent (OT) enjoys much popularity because of its wide international reach. To keep this advantage and to show its appreciation to Filipinos abroad, the network schedules its stars for performances in various cities all over the world. OT was fortunate to be included in such a show despite the negative news hounding her career.

As always, some Filipinos wanted to have their photos taken with the performers of the show, which was held somewhere in the West. Newly regarded box office loveteam took time to mingle with the people. Both the singer-actor and young actress hugged the people who met with them. Both did not mind the sweat of the fans as they exchanged hugs and pleasantries. The loveteam said that they did not mind the sweaty fans, as everyone was tired anyway.

Meanwhile, OT was with Dancer Actor (DA) and security people. Some fans wanted to have a photo with OT and DA. DA stopped for photos, whereas OT did not give in to the request and walked away with her bodyguards. The fans were stunned as OT snubbed them, and some wondered if the stories about her lack of reverence and respect were true.

Some of them could not help but compare the rude action of OT to humility of the loveteam, who are no doubt in a higher level of achievement in terms of box office, talent, and endearment. OT, who needs all the help to propel her career, did not bother to take advantage of the moment to be closer to fans. Instead, she added to the negative perception people have of her.

Coming from a tumultuous family of showbiz personalities, OT should at least be reminded that a network talent should behave accordingly when facing fans. Moreover, OT should be taught that fans from abroad comprise a huge influence in the popularity of her network, and these fans use their hard-earned money just to watch a show. In addition, during the start of the career of her family members, the importance they gave to their fans was one of the reasons of their staying power.

When someone saves your life and gives you life, there's gratitude, humility; there's a time you've been so blessed you realize you've been given another chance at life that maybe you did or didn't deserve. -Pat Summerall
