Not Sustaining Her Promise

A TV Network TN had its hands full in the months and weeks leading to a Grand Event GE for their Prized Stars PS1 and PS2. Both GE and PS camps were all agog in the preparations as they wanted it to be monumental in size and impact. Many agencies, events and advertising companies, as well as big stars were involved to add impact and glitter to the occasion.

Reportedly, not a few TN shows were bumped off and/or compromised to give way as part of preparation for GE. It was short of telling TN talents to be cooperative and drop everything for GE – and so it went.

Even media people were likewise asked to to do their part and participate in incorporating some GE details into their respective shows for added promotion. Though not everyone liked it, they had no choice but to do as told.

Respected Media Personality RP was not spared. RP was also tasked to give her lion share by including the whole of GE with PS1 and PS2 interviews in her show, obviously as part of GE promotion. Although RP was amenable to it, the notice given her was too short /rushed because everything was already laid out for taping that particular episode...meaning a set-up that did not include GE.

It was a major taping day where kids coming from faraway province were to be featured and interviewed by RP. Sadly, this had to be bumped off at the last minute, as GE/PS1 had to be accommodated first and incorporated in the show.

Consequently, RP left and cancelled the show’s taping and interview with the kids. This allegedly angered the kids’ parents who patiently waited for hours for RP. They were mad as they spent quite a sum for their fare and accommodation in Manila for RP show. The show’s staff tried to explain but the parents were inconsolable.   

 Reportedly, the parents stormed the tv station to complain and report RP to its management. Guess what? They only calmed down when they were assured that their expenses would be reimbursed. Uh oh, GE must be so special indeed as to merit such attention that inconvenienced not only the tv talents but ordinary people as well.
