  1. As sad as it is, he has a point. Networks care more about the money than the welfare of their employees...and that includes the actors. When you're on a very tight deadline where sometimes you have to film, edit, and show an episode all in one day...how can you not feel all that stress and pressure? Everyone is relying on you. They're not getting enough sleep, no time to take care of themselves...which ends up to ppl getting sick. If they already have an underlying health issue than this is a definite cause for concern.

    1. Infer long hours din ang shift ng mga doctors at nurses at marami pang health hazards ang mga nagtratrabaho sa construction. My point is they should know what the job entailed before applying for the job, no one forces them to do it and besides the showbiz industry workers are very well compensated for their jobs.

    2. it's easy to say no one's forcing them to apply for that job or stay in it, but the truth is that they, like most of us, just carry on day by day trying to earn a living. in whatever job we are in, whatever we get paid, we deserve humane working conditions.

    3. Not everyone working in the showbiz industry is paid well. Most people behind the camera are paid around the minimum wage and works on contractual basis which means benefits are nil

    5. Only the actors are well compensated. Not those behind the camera especially the utility, PA, and more.

      And with regards no one forces them to do it.. Well yes no one, but it's what they like. It's their passion. Kaya yun ang gusto nila na work. So wag din isisi kung gusto nila ang work na ganyan

    6. May point sya. Even d stars na magaganda naman tlaga pero dahil sa sobrang puyat nagiging haggard tapos lalaitin pa ng mga netizens.tsktsk! Sana mabago na sistema.

  2. sad to say dahil cost-cutting ang mga networks talagang magdamagan nga sa taping, more than 24 hrs ata sila depende kung maayos ang flow. sana pati yung working hours for minors is strictly followed

    kaya si Carla gusto na magbigay ng 1 million dollars e

  4. True. Nagtatrabaho ako sa mga tv series and there have been deaths among other crew members

  5. He has a point. Yung pressure siguro na makatapos at ung demand nung trabaho. Isama pa yung deadline tapos yung pabago bagong klima.Grabe lang. Malaki nga kinikita mo. Kalusugan naman ang kapalit, wala rin. R.I.P sa mga namayapa

  9. May point! Mas stressful pa ginagawa nila tapos minsan sila pa mag aadjust

  10. I heard halos wala pa sila minsan na tulog. Sana mabago na systema this time. Kawawa di lang ang directors kundi buong staff and crew.

    2. and minsan umiinom pa ng too much energy drink which is really dangerous esp. sa heart :(

  11. Cguro dpat simulan nila sa mga artista na nkkpgpadelay ng oras nila dhil sa pgiinarte at pagaattitude. Indi dpat kinukunsinte at dpat binibigyan ng warning.

    1. oo wag bigyan ng project kung hindi memorized ang script. sila ang dahilan ng shooting delays.

  12. Sana they have standard time lang in terms of working. Sobra kayang stressful ang pagiging Director. Ang artista they can set time na pack up na sila pero ang director hanggat kailangan sa production, walang pack-up pack-up. Lahat ng off-cam ang pinaka stressed kaya they should have set time and be more considerate lalo ang naririsk ay health nung mga tao.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Tapos pag nahuli o nahalata kang inaantok o napapagod sa set, tatalakan ka ng bonggang bongga na sasabihin "ano, kaya pa ba?? Wala ka pala e" e ang sarap sagutin ng pag ako nagkasakit o namatay sasagutin mo??

    Kaya ayan maging leksyon yan sa mga production practitioners/ professional.

  14. useless naman kasi ang Directors Guild of the Philippines. wala bang association ang tv directors? bakit hindi magboycott ang mga tv directors to demand improvement in their working conditions? yung mga new tv directors ngayon like cathy molina, jadaone, villegas okay pa ang health nila kasi mga bata pa sila pero aabot ba sila ng 50 yrs old kung ganyan na hina heart attack ang mga nauna sa kanila o mismong kasabayan nila? the "taping today showing tomorrow with no script" eh sobrang ridiculous. cardiac arrest talaga ang aabutin mo pag kulang ka sa tulog at wala sa oras ang kain. balita ko pa ang pagkain sa taping eh sobrang tinitipid din. wala pang exercise o time sa gym ang mga director. hay naku.

  17. Hindi kaya sa Pinas yan kasi puro tayo telenovela na weekdays unlike sa ibang bansa na series na once or twice a week or pag movie halos year nila inoshoot.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Siguro much better kung sobrang ahead ang shooting nila na planado na ang itatakbo ng istorya para hindi kawawa ang mga tao behind the camera. Tsaka may time silang makapahinga at mag-unwind para mabawasan ang stress tsaka pressure sa work.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Agree. Schedules should have limits like the ones implemented in Hollywood, other Asian countries and Europe. They only have 8-12 hours of filming everyday based on the different articles I have read before.

    Tolerable pa kasi when you are young yung gising hanggang madaling araw, but as we age, may limitations na dapat. Cardiac arrest sila na directors because of lack of sleep, stress and untimely eating habits.

  20. I think kase kulang sa prep at planning ang movie making sa atin. Sa US, usually it takes at least a year to make and release a movie - sometimes 2 years pa kasi all the prep work (choosing a director, writer, talent, filming location, all the logistics, etc) takes at least a few months. Baka sa atin puro photo finish lahat.

    1. To be fair no amount of pre prep can ever compensate for the Egomaniacs who roam the set throwing their weights around on a whim.

      Delete
    2. 2:45 well then network should not tolerate that.

      Delete
    3. Kaya mas maganda ang films ng ibang bansa kasi planned lahat and ang haba ng preparation. Wala pang stress. Unlike dito sa atin na puro basura ang mga films dahil lahat mabilis ang paggawa.

  21. Kaya siguro na uso na ang maraming directors sa isa teleserye para hindi sobra ang work load

    1. And yet sobra sobra parin ang workload kahit marami rin director. Tska siyempre inaako parin nila lahat ng problema sa prod kahit marami silang director.

    2. Sobra pa din ang workload kasi kahit nagpapasok sila ng ibang directors, it's the same staff working on the set

  22. Eh di i-follow ung labor law, unh may maximum work hours. Then sana handang handa na ung buong storya at bago mag shoot eh at least kalahati nung script eh naisulat na. Then kalahati ng tapos na script eh i-shoot na bago pa man din i-launch para di sila laging gahol. Saka kung balak ng network na i-extend, at least may headstart na sila, di ujg on the spot. Mapag iisipan pa, mapapaganda pa.

  23. I guess its time to somehow do shows like how they do it in the US. Yung once a week a lang or pwedeng twice. Para may time to rest yung staff at the same time hindi agad nakaka umay yung mga shows. For example, weekend sitcoms like Pepito Manaloto or Home Sweetie Home.

    1. Dati naman in the '70s to 90s puro weekly lahat ang shows eh. 2 teleserye shows lang ang daily Yung pang 6 PM and yung pang 2 PM ~ And these shows last for many years

  24. Dapat kasi all TV networks and Film companies should set a resonable cut-off time pag taping and shooting days. Grabe naman talaga ang working hours ng mga artists and lalo na ang mga people behind the production wala talagang enough pahinga in between tapings, kaya health ng mga artists and production people ang nagsa-suffer. If i'm not mistaken sa US regulated talaga na up to 16 hours max. ang set shooting time per day dapat sa pinas may set rules din dapat.

  25. Pansin ko rin, puro kaF directors ang natitigok kahit healthy sila tingnan. Mygawd kasi abscbn, wag naman kasi mag-shoot now, show later at wala pang script.

  26. sa ibang bansa unionized ang actors, directors, set people... may rules sa working hours, wages, treatment... pity why they don't have teamsters/actors equity sa pinas.

  27. Notorious si Direk Wenn na workaholic. Sabi ng isang kaibigan niya, hindi nya alam kung paano magpahinga. Most likely naman ang kinamatay nya dahil sa extreme shock nung makita nyang na cardiac arrest yung kapatid nya hindi directly dahil sa trabaho nya.

    1. Tbh mukhang it runs in the family so maraming contributing factor but yung stress nya sa work and maybe lifestyle related to his work definitely did not contribute to his heart's health.

  28. totoo iyan kaya ako nagquit bilang film editor. Bukod sa makukulit na producer me deadline ka pa 48 hours na walang tulog I got heart disease kaya I changed profession. Ayokong mamatay ng maaga. Dapat kasi ibahin na systema. O mauubos ang technical at creatives

  32. Kaming mga nurses ganyan din. 3 jobs na halos ang iba kya kulang na kulang din sa tulog at rest. We have choices in life. We can't blame anybody . It is natural cause.

  33. Magdamagan kasi ang taping, damay lahat, directors, staff and crew, actors. Sana naman mg pahinga din parang wala ng tulugan ang mga yan.. Uso kaya ngayon ang cardiac arrest lalo na sobrang init ng panahon.

  34. Directors should have a union to protect their rights in the industry!

    ReplyDelete
  35. And also the staff and extras and the rest of the crews..dapat talaga may union!

  36. sabi nga ni AS dapay kahit ung mga extra ay binibigyan ng workshop para alam nila ang blocking at timing kasi ung mga extra eh walang workshop so napapatagal ang shoot kasi namamali pa ang extra sa mga simpleng blocking lang

    ReplyDelete
  37. kaya din low quality yung mga films sa pinas kasi mga minadali at obsess sa cost cutting. sa hollywood kahit abutin ng isang taon makamit lang yung quality, movies here in the philippines are for the company, not for the audience

    ReplyDelete
  38. PERFECT WORDS !!! I said it to myself when I learned that Wenn died of cardiac arrest, and now to Direk Xavier, another cardiac.. filming and shooting plus pressures from the network made them soooooo super stressful and no medical team to remind them to slow down and avoid late night taping.. late night taping can be sooooooooo stressful, heart desease is cause by sleepless nights.

  39. sad to say exploitative ang nature ng entertainment industry more than being creative. I think it's how they roll in terms of making profit and these companies are profit driven/oriented. Pag profit driven ka, mas mangingibabaw talaga ang profit kaysa sa pagiging makatao ng kumpanya. It's sad. Parang isang malaking LEGIT killing machine ang nature neto.
