i'm not a fan but i don't hate aldub or any love teams. i've read the article, it only stated facts. so what's wrong if maine looked tired during the shoot? if you ask her, i'm sure she'll say she IS tired. article says she's late, so what eh kung late naman talaga, why bend the truth? if you read articles from vanity fair, etc parang ganyan din ang tone ng mga articles no big deal. you should read that article about cara delevingne kulang na lang sabihin para siyang adik. but what else is new, pinoys are balat sibuyas so kebs.
I commend the writer and the esquire team for releasing the issue and for being honest at some point. But now, ngayong binawi nila sinabi nila? Hay nako. Sino ma maniniwala sa inyo ESQUIRE????
Booo indeed! Look at the first sentence of their Statement... February is their FUN issue! Very true because they made FUN of Maine Mendoza, ignored JOWaPao and maligned Alden who is not even in the cover! The least Esquire should do is Man up and say Sorry and not cover up the stinking $h%++¥ article💩💩💩
Minsan kasi tanggapin nyo na hindi lahat ng tao natutuwa sa aldub or kay Maine. At hindi lahat ng mababasa nyo eh ayon lang sa gusto nyo.. for me hindi nega yung article, Honest, is the correct word, which is very refreshing. Pero Eto? damage control lang alam natin ang reason ang iwasang iboycott ng makikitid ang utak yung mag. Kahit isang tao lang nagsulat, dumaan pa din to for approval sa pinakamataas.
How in the world was that an account to fame of the aldub phenomenon when all you did was put a bad light on Maine. First paragraph pa lang feel mo na yung negatron na writer.
ANON 1:45 am aka guada aka Mariah, sabihin mo yan sa sarili mo pag may bad write ups or comments ang idols mo ha. Besides, this is a supposedly high-end magazine, hindi tabloid. Mukhang ikaw ang kelangan umiwas sa kakitiran ng utak.
1:45 totoo naman na hindi talaga lahat gusto ang aldub. pero tama ba namang i-feature mo sila tapos nega lang ang writeups na gagawin mo? 2nd, hindi tabloid ang esquire para magsulat ng gaya ng ginawa ng writer. very unprofessional
@1:45. Actually ok din naman na honest ang writer, kaya lng the article ksi is about maine and jowapao, and its not about her opinion and sad to say pa na her opinion were mostly insulting to maine, aldub and jowapao. I am an aldub/jowapao fan but i am also ok sa mga tao na hindi sila gusto kaya lng they got them as their cover sa mag nila, just to insult them? Wla lng man lessons or inspiring words na mababasa mo puro nega.parang bad trip lng ang writer. Sino ba naman magiging ok na pumayagmka to be on the cover of a magazine tapos ang article about sa yo eh puro opinion lng ng writer, nega pa, d ba?
Tama ka dyan @2:41AM. sister company yan YES at Esquire. kaya dapat wag na bumili ng mga magazine nila. Yung YES na nabili ko feat James ayun tinapon ko na.
I just hate it when filipinos are looked down on. Mas malala kapwa pilipino pa! Oh eh di sige, balat sibuyas kami. O di sige, ikaw na magaling. Kung gusto mo ng magazine na ang articles parang sa mga amerikano malamang wala kang kwentang kababayan. Fan ka ng ibang LT umamin ka na lang, anon 12:42
If the writer had an editorial or opinion column, then her article would be ok. But it was clear that she knew zero about her subject(s). Where did she get the rating of Alden as a C-List Actor? In the 3 hours she waited for Maine and entourage to arrive, she could've interviewed Jowapao but no, she zeroed in on Maine. Hindi siya resourceful, there's a lot of material on the internet to read about her subjects, tamad siya magresearch. Esquire is not apologetic for this article, nakakahiya nga naman to admit this lazy effort was wrong. The takeaway of her article - I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS ABOUT, MAINE IS JUST ORDINARY. Eh di sige, name another talent who achieved in the same short time all that Maine has achieved. Meron ba?
Hindi lahat ng tao natutuwa sa aldub.so sana hindi na lang ginawang cover hindi naman pala nakakatuwa.ang bastos lang dba.ang alam ko u get a certain celebrity to be a cover dahil gusto nyo but not to make fun of.duh!
Napaka unprofessional ng writer. Sana kinilala nya muna si Maine Mendoza. The reason why we bought the Esquire mag is because of Maine. But I'm very disappointed sa writer. Puro opinions lang nya. Esquire is a well-known magazine not a tabloid.
The writer actually yung Kat ba yon? Ayon. Sya din nagsulat daw ng aritcle for AlDub Nation din sa Philippine Star and was promoted by Joey De Leon. To think na nagsulat sya before for AlDub. And here comes the Esquire. Well. Expectations maybe were not met. I dunno if she actually loves her job.
Or probably she was not expecting to wait for long periods prior the interview (hence elaborating that the interview started late). Baka gusto VIP since she has written an article about AlDub before. Lakas maka-powertrip
If you need to travel to Your destination and know traffic can be a nightmare, account for it. But 3 hours late? Well it's also the fault of those who fix her sched.
asan part naman na binaboy? kung droopy talaga eyes niya kapaguran bat mo sasabihin otherwise? asan ang truth in journalism diyan? gawin ng management ni maine, alagaan siya para di sya hagarda! yun lang yon! why kill the messenger?
12:43 you just read the part about her looking tired and being late? What about the other parts where she was ridiculed along with the other half. The writer did not even give justice to jose, wally and paolo. Truth you say? Or leaving other pieces of the article and giving light basis for your so "truth in journalism" on this write up. Yes not all people loves the loveteam but atleast be professional in writing an article about a person or group of people
"They received catholic mass media award for spreading good values. (What?)"
Not the exact words but what was she trying to imply here?!? If she has the "ethics" o respeto man lang, hindi niya na dapat tinira pati yan. Kasi kahit yang part lang na yan, nakakabastos na e.
True. Be professional in writing an article about a person or a group of people--especially when they are in the cover. It's like you just used their faces to profit.
'Truth' is gusto ni writer maging controbersyal at pagusapan sya. Heller, lahat halos ng artista nagmumukhang stress at some point and na lalate. But as a reader for the supposed "fun february issue" asan yung fun part dun, and it did not even define how the phenomenal love team started, or featured the relation bet JOWAPAO TO THE SUCCESS OF MAINE MENDOZA, something like that... Eh di sana nilagay na lang ni lang the 'maine medoza exposed' or controversies behind the success. Hindi yung fun tapos bad vibes yung mababasa mo. #famewhorekara that should be the next issue! No wonder, nilalangaw ang magazine na ito.
Teh magazine yan hindi newspaper.truth in journalism ka jan.bakit pinapaganda at inaayusan ang covergirl ng magazine?ibig sabihin gusto natin makitang maganda ganun din ang nasa loob ng magazine maganda din sana article or write up.
Anon 1:16 mukhang hinde mo nabasa yung article. Hinde sila naging objective...yung totoo nagpa kontrobersyal yung writer nila. Maghanap ka ng magazine na nang insulto ng model nila.
Eh sa in demand ang kinuha nilang Cover Girl eh. Hindi lang naman sila ang obligasyon ni Maine, at ang mali nila, bakit kailangan nilang ilagay yun sa article nila? para ano? para sirain yung maganda niyang image? marami namang artista na nalalate sa photo shoot, sa taping, hindi dapat maging isyu yun kasi NORMAL sa mga artista yun lalo na sa mga IN DEMAND na stars. I really think this is a demolition job. The truth really hurts na ba****ng glossy magazine ang ESQUIRE! @1:16 ang papanget nmn ng mga gawa nila, checked previous issues, at wala talagang dating. Sayang ang 200PHP. Mabuti pa ang Yes Magazine, mas may quality
ANON 1:16 am, mukhang either hindi mo nabasa yung article or kulang ka sa reading comprehension. Or, favorite hanash mo lang yang "truth hurts" para mema ka lang.
what's written in your mag says it all...what you wrote here says eitherwise..and we believe you out your thoughts and heart out in your mag..damage control pa more.
Nyeta, explanation on the AlDub phenomenon DAW pero inemphasize na mukhang haggard si Maine, late ng 3 hours at iritable sa shoot, na si Alden ay C-list actor at isinama pa sa shoot ang JoWaPao wala naman anywhere on the article kung anong part ng JoWaPao sa Aldub phenomenon considering na malaking bahagi sila ng istorya.
"..some camps used our article to attack AlDub fans.." e mismong writer ninyo at magazine ninyo umatake sa AlDub fans at lalo na si Maine
Ewan nga sa inyo, Esquire, imbes na mag-apology kayo isa na namang kalokohan yang explanation ninyo. Asahan na ninyong lalo bababa sales ninyo in the coming months. What a wasted opportunity, AlDub nation ang isa sa fandoms na may malakas na purchasing power!
di ba binabasa ng editor in chief nila ung mga lumalabas sa magazine nila????kahit sino naman makakabasa nun eh madidisappoint..they should be RESPONSIBLE sa lahat ng ilalabas nila....
Teka lang ah! Esquire PH, may ibang article pa ba ang ALDUB at JOWAPAO bukod sa kumalat na scanned copies? Parang wala nga kaming nabasang maganda about them e. Full of sarcasm!
Yeah, right... because your article painted Maine in such a positive light and your writer was full of optimism and admiration for AlDub and ADN...
Malagkit na Syete, Equire PH! Wag kami, pasalamat na lang kayo kahit papaano may namisled kayo sa article ninyo at may napabili na AlDub fans pero di na mauulit yan!
"Never said otherwise"?? The fact that you called someone a "C-list actor", demeaning the fans, and practically insulting every facet of the loveteam just contradicts your press statement. Kung anong ihinaba ng litanya ninyo sa panga-alipusta sa AlDub nation & kila Alden & Maine, syang tipid, dishonest & condescending ng "explanation" ninyo.
Fire that hateful Ortiga woman and the EIC who approved of her article and issue an actual apology.
I do agree... The fact that they did not bother writing anything for JOWAPAO and that unnecessary remark on Alden who was not featured in the magazine deserve an apology.. HMP!!!
"Anyone who reads the article will find that this is not true." - Hala I have a copy of the mag (which I regret buying it), I read everything in it, it was OBVIOUSLY a negative assessment of Maine. Duh? Anong gusto nyong palabasin Esquire PH? Na hindi kami marunong sa reading comprehension? Na react lang kami ng react without reading your article? Kahit naman yung mga hindi bumili ng magazine nyo mababasa parin kasi nagkalat ang scan copies nung article online. Double Duh!!! Whatever you say Esquire PH, nobody won't buy your magazine from ADN anymore.
Hahaha Seryoso Esquire yan ang statement niyo? Lalong nagngitngit sa inis at galit mga tao sa inyo! Nakakaloka kayo. Susme! May isip mga nakapagbasa ng nakasulat about Maine and JoWaPao... Wag niyo kaming ginagawang b*bo! Di kami stupido tulad niyo. Wag niyo kaming pinaglololoko ui!
I think this statement is patronizing, t say the least. Khit ano pang sbhin nyo, damage has been done. Ang ADN matatalino, we know how to distinguisg between an article beautifully written and bashfully written. Sadly, yours was the latter.
Sorry Esquire, I might have been born during the day, but I was not born Yesterday, and neither were the readers. It doesn't require an extraordinary amount of intelligence to know that your piece was an absolute attack on Maine, Alden, and their fans. Kindly read the article yourself and find out if the ire aimed at you is justified or not.
So if that's the case, meaning, the EIC is incompetent? Kasi kung yun ang gusto nyong sabihin na ayaw nyong tarnishan ang reputation nila how come inallow nyang mapublish to? Did the writer even got scrutinized how come she ended with that article na full of her opinion? Even Feature Article needs research as well, huyy hindi nga Feature ginawa nya Editorial. She even whined about Maine being late, that she couldn't find a spark and she didn't even mention na kaya nalate it's because may gigs pa prior. If she's really a good writer how come thorough research is not part of her vocabulary? Seems like everything is written to discredit not just Maine and Alden (who's not even part of the cover) but the entire AlDubnation for patronizing their tandem. If you are a competent writer by reading between the line, she's implying something. And if it's not really what you wanted to show, bakit pumasa sainyo yung article nya. So ano trabaho ng EIC? Kemerot lang? It's already there. No matter how much you try to defend your purpose, the article says otherwise.
I also was so disappointed with how the article was written. It obviously was their "fun" way of putting someone as hugely popular as Maine in a bad light. Kaimbierna lng considering that their mag is so expensive. How come the article done on Angel Aquino was so nicely written? Perhaps the one who issued the statement read another mag or in the wrong page. At least, majority of Meng's fans know better. KEBS na lang!!
So you're going to extend the FUN Issue just to recover from the damage? Or because you think you can fool the AlDubnation once more to milk money from them? If you are trying to win their trust back, well, the game is over.
Kung hindi pala true yung article bakit lumabas? Saka kung napaint ng negative yung article eh kasi puno ng negative yung article malamang. Hello? Unang una palang nega na agad. It's your fault actually to let this publish. For Ms. Ortiga, kindly tell me you made tons of research prior writing this. Probably, you want to be unique by doing this or you just don't like them at all, but please keep this as a reminder that if your not comfortable with the assigned topic to you just tell your EIC or just have a decency. Esquire invited them to be featured not to be bashed. Hope you know that.
The mere fact that this unknown Ortiga got away with her rant ? She is definitely a hater of Maine. Esquire,do us a favor please remove her from your mag and stop using her to sell your 'classy' name..duh?!
Dear Esquire PH, are you sure that you are referring to the trashy article? It was negative in every sense of the word. How can you refute the obvious? Res Ipsa Loquitor.
Maybe the writer is insecure with Maine that she wrote how ugly Maine has become.
Hold her in the highest regard? Please read your article again and tell us where in the words, 'skin sagging', 'overdone makeup', is that regard you're talking about. And by the way, I don't think 'camps' attacked us. We think, dear Esquire. I understand that other side you want to show us but just the wrong choice of words. And this statement is nothing but beaming pride on your side. Too much of that is fatal, you know. PS. You didn't even apologize for Wally's last name.
EsquirePH, mahirap ba mag-sorry? Kung ano-ano pa sinabi niyo halata namang puro kapintasan isinulat. Lalo pang nakadagdag na para niyo na ding sinabing di kami marunong umintindi... Kami na nakapagbasa ng pinublish niyo! Grabe kayo. Kinuha niyo sila para pintasan, ipahiya?! Grabe lang talaga. GRABE!!! Yan ang tingin niyo sa market/readers niyo.... T*nga? B*bo?! Ganun ba?!
Binasa ba nung nagpost niyan yung article mismo or gumawa lang ng statement mema ano lang??? walang point yung instagram post niya, basura magazine 5ever
Wala bang editor itong EsquirePH, kahit sa social media accoutns nila? Ano itong pinagsasabi nilang "For the record, we'd never been shy about telling everyone how lovely Maine was during the shoot" e inemphasize ngang late si Maine, with droopy eyes chena chena "...and only hold her in the highest regard." ano ito? Ga**han? Sino nagsulat nitong post ng Esquire na ito? Hindi ba nila binasa ang sarili nilang magazine? Wala bang proofreader or editors tung magazine na ito???
Akala ata nila, ta**a ang Aldub Nation. But ya know, they are educated. At hindi sila basta-basta bibili ng magazine unless it's worth it. Boooo! Esquire PH!
Dapat di na nila pinasuot ng formal gown si Maine kung lalaitin lang pala nila o nitong feeling gandarang Ortiga. Pwede naman nakapambahay yung tao kung nega pala yung article nya! Sus palusot pa itong mag na ito.
it's so annoying how they still had the audacity to tell shabby excuses.to those who bought copies of their mag, why don't you half burn them and send back to their office?after all, I think their piece of trash doesn't deserve a space I your rubbish bin.
SAN KYO NAKAKITA NA PINAG COVER SA MAGAZINE TAPOS NEGATIVE ANG ISUSULAT...TRUST AND RESPECT ARE GONE. DI MAN LANG NAG APOLOGIZE PARANG YUNG FANS PA ANG MAY MALI AT KAILANGAN MAG SORRY SA INYO. ILAGAY NYO NA LANG SA BASURA ANG MAGAZINE NYO
Aldubnation is not an ordinary fandom. Majority of fans are smart and thinking people. Big mistake for any magazine or tabloid to think that aldub fans are just "mere" fans.
This is a non-apology! Esquire is like an ungracious host to invited visitors to their mag. If u keep on writing like this about ur covers then who woukd wanna be in it? Why focus on the negatives instead of the positives. Why sound like so high and mighty and unwelcoming, like u are better than ur subjects. Pasosyal ang dating ng writer na parang napilitan magsulat about them. If u are writing a feature article on someone, try harder to know them and not write like ur superior than them. Nakaka turn off ang mag nyo, bakit ako bibili kung BV and mababasa ko. On a business standpoint, di ba u need to sell kaya give the readers what they wanna read.. Mga GV articles na nakaka uplift and nakaka happy. Duhhh!!
Exactly baks! Like a formal invitation tapos ipapakain ka pala sa lion! Ang tataas nyo Esquire- dapat ilipat nyo si Ortiga sa tabloid para me reliever si Cristy Fermin.
avoiding the true issue?? ang issue eh yung writer nyo PANGIT sinulat regarding Maine, puro panglalait!! grabe pala now ma feature ka sa Esquire gandara sa cover papangitin ka sa article!
An apology is required. To get the message across, boycott the product. Their target population group is so specialized that she was so condescending about the ALDUB fans, just short of saying we do not need you for our magazine to sell. Oh ok, we are more than educated enough to know that we have been served crap, Esquire.
Icocover nyo tapos puro negative isusulat nyo? Para kayong nag invite ng bisita tapos sisiraan nyo sa ibang tao. Bastos ang tawag dun. Sana hindi nyo n lang sya kinuhang cover.
"Some camps have used our article to attack aldub fans.." What?!! Eh yung writer nyo who's attacking aldub & aldub nation eh. Hindi lang si maine & alden ang iniinsulto nyo pati mga fans nila.
"Anyone who reads will find that this is not true". Excuse me in denial ba kayo na madaming na-offend sa article nyo. Iniinsulto nyo mga readers, we can read between the lines ok. Taas ng tingin nyo sa sarili nyo. Wala na sanang bumili ng magazine nyo.
Okay, so this is your "Fun" issue. Fun issue should give FUN or atleast indicate it on your mag that it was just a pure joke, but this is not even funny at all.
You can crack a joke at her, but what you've wrote...seems you simply wants to discredit her and oh you forgot the 3 man.
Kung humanap ka ng mga nakakatawang questions or look at the witty sides probably you'll ace this. Kaso sa tono ng article mo hindi sya joke. And Esquire for allowing it to be published, such an irresponsible act.
We can all agree that not everyone like Aldub. However, this article was written maliciously. it was not written professionally nor with respect in mind.
While a few select people call this piece an "honest and refreshing" take on Maine, I don't understand why it highlighted the fact she arrived late, droopy eyed and wobbling. Why is it not about her being very hardworking and in so much demand she hardly has time to herself?! Explain also Junior's C-list label! He is a multi-awarded celebrity who wasn't even on the blasted cover! What was that little gem of information based on? Please I beg you, do enlighten me! Did you also forget to include your fantastic insight to the genius that is JoWaPao, an integral part to the success of the AlDub phenomenon?! ADN welcomes and respects other people's opinion. No one is forcing anybody to like them. But since you featured Maine and JoWaPao in your magazine, the very least you could do is give them due credit and respect because they are all decent and hardworking individuals. In their own little way, they spread happiness, hope and positivity to the Filipinos. Sadly, I couldn't say the same thing about you.
Kung meron lang akong copy neto talagang susunugin ko, ivivideo ko pa at isesend ko pa sa twitter acct nila! Sobrang nakakanginig sa galit ginawa ng mga to! Pinaka kinagigigilan ko talaga tong Kara Ortiga na to na kala mo kagandahan masyadong nagmamaganda! ang panget mo kaya!
ginamit lang nila si maine and jowapao para bilhin ang magazine nila, ngayon naman damange control para di sila iboycott. ayusin nyo trabaho nyo para kumita magazine nyo hindi yung makiki-ride on lang
BOYCOTT ESQUIRE! WHAT'S THIS? A NON-APOLOGY APOLOGY? NANG-AANO KAYO EH! PLS STOP DIGGING YOUR OWN GRAVE...ADMIT YOU MESSED UP, NOW YOU'RE TRYING TO SAVE WHAT CAN BE SAVED? YOUR MAG IS A F****N JOKE!!!
I will never buy your magazine, Esquire. Ever. Maraming magazinr dyan. Baka mayroon pang Liwayway, mas yun pa ang bibilhin ko kesa sa basurang magazine nyo.
Bad article. Irresponsible editing. Get off your high horses. Lol, i do hope that esquire wont alienate the companies that maine represents and stands for. Goodluck.
It's not just Maine, pati Jowapao. Sinama pa wala naman palang ilalagay sa article about sa kanila. Parang ang bastos lang kasi. Magazine ang binebenta, hindi naman tabloid.
Esquire and that Yes Magazine who featured James Reid belong to one company, Summit Media. Anong trip ng mga to?! Demolition job for the two hottest loveteams in their respective networks?
Everyone from Esquire PH should GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSES! Although I am a fan of Maine that didn't taint my judgment that you have a badly written article. The freaking author didn't EVEN GET TO SPEAK TO MAINE! She's obviously an intellectual snob. Typical of a FUGLY person who graduated from UP and didn't do good in life. I'm sorry to say that I will never buy your magazine again. Your nothing but BULLIES.
IBANG KLASE DIN ANG ESQUIRE!! FIRST, YOU FEATURED MAINE/JOWAPAO SA MAGAZINE NYO PARA I-MARKET ANG COPIES SA AMING MGA FANS. OF COURSE BUMILI KAMI KASI IDOL NAMIN ANG NAKA-FEATURE. PAGKATAPOS NAMING I-SPEND ANG MGA PERA NAMIN SA INYO, YUN LANG ANG MAPAPALA NAMIN, PURO KA-NEGAHAN?! "NAGANTSO KAMI, GANOIN???
Sa susunod esquire gawin nyo rin yan sa ibang loveteams. magpakatotoo rin kayo sa kung ano nakikita nyo sa kanila. lahat ba ng nafeature nyo ginaganyan nyo?
Your statement is as dumb as your article. And so, this is how you write about people who you say you have high regards for? Please, don't make us incompetent as you are. It's your writer that you should blame and not this so called other camp you made up.
after stating my point on Esquire IG, Kara Ortiga tried following me, and so with other commenters, which puzzled us .Then suddenly I got blocked on Esquire IG. Lol. Guess it was Kara O who's behind the blocking.
I got blocked on esquire's ig page too after saying my two cents. How low of them. They had all the time in the world to block and follow people but never had the time to actually READ their own articles lol. Way to go, Esquire!
Copy paste their apology, Tapos write your piece on Facebook and make it public. That way even if they block it, people will see what you have to say. I replied to them too and I guess ma bo-block din ako soon enough so I just posted it on FB.
Oh please Esquire Philippines you completely missed the point. People are turned-off by your article simply because it was such an amateur piece. It's not innovative at all. It was poorly written, poorly researched, and downright tasteless. It has nothing to do with upsetting fans at all. I'm not even a fan of Maine Mendoza but I found this appalling because your writer didn't even meet the girl personally and just corresponded through email and yet she wrote the article like it was beneath her. My second issue with this article is how the writer described Alden Richards as a C-List Actor. Come on, even if you don't watch GMA, you could easily Google and see his work prior to the Kalyeserye. Just because you didn't know the guy doesn't mean he's some loser. This was written by a wannabe pa SOSHAL writer. And you are defending it because your editors approved of it when it wouldn't have passed the standards of other decent editors. Look Esquire people are not dumb. I know the writing style of your foreign counterparts. Esquire US, Vanity Fair, Vogue, etc. and it's not in the same level. I remember reading Vanity Fair articles featuring Jennifer Lawrence, Taylor Swift, etc and they too mentioned how they were late, their nuances, and all that crap. But they sat down with their subject for an entire day to get to know them and that's when their feature got meaty. You simply didn't do that. Get over it. You should have done a REAL apology. Or better yet, just admit that you think you guys are too classy to be featuring something like this and that you had no choice but to join the bandwagon so you can at least reach your sales targets for a change.
Booooo!

The writer did not even give justice to jose, wally and paolo. Truth you say? Or leaving other pieces of the article and giving light basis for your so "truth in journalism" on this write up. Yes not all people loves the loveteam but atleast be professional in writing an article about a person or group of people
Delete"They received catholic mass media award for spreading good values. (What?)"
DeleteNot the exact words but what was she trying to imply here?!? If she has the "ethics" o respeto man lang, hindi niya na dapat tinira pati yan. Kasi kahit yang part lang na yan, nakakabastos na e.
True. Be professional in writing an article about a person or a group of people--especially when they are in the cover. It's like you just used their faces to profit.
Delete'Truth' is gusto ni writer maging controbersyal at pagusapan sya. Heller, lahat halos ng artista nagmumukhang stress at some point and na lalate. But as a reader for the supposed "fun february issue" asan yung fun part dun, and it did not even define how the phenomenal love team started, or featured the relation bet JOWAPAO TO THE SUCCESS OF MAINE MENDOZA, something like that... Eh di sana nilagay na lang ni lang the 'maine medoza exposed' or controversies behind the success. Hindi yung fun tapos bad vibes yung mababasa mo. #famewhorekara that should be the next issue! No wonder, nilalangaw ang magazine na ito.
DeleteTeh magazine yan hindi newspaper.truth in journalism ka jan.bakit pinapaganda at inaayusan ang covergirl ng magazine?ibig sabihin gusto natin makitang maganda ganun din ang nasa loob ng magazine maganda din sana article or write up.
DeleteBulok talaga tong esquire na to.
DeleteReprimanded na ba si Kara Ortiga?
ReplyDeleteExplanation??? Or parang condescening sentiments against it?? Ugh. Wag kami uy
ReplyDeleteDamage Control! Wala pa rin bibili ng mag nyo no!
ReplyDeleteReally? That's what you've been trying to point out in the article??? Doesn't seem like it! Bad choice of words! Kaimbeyyyy
ReplyDeletesarcasm as its finest!
ReplyDeleteChe!
ReplyDeleteAsuz... I still dont like the words that the writer used in describing Maine and Alden. Pang tabloid na inenglish lang.
ReplyDeleteEsquirePH:
ReplyDeleteSo you think we do not understand your insults on Maine? I didn't even see an article about Jowapao. We are not dumb!
Well, let's just see... Esquire Phils., you asked for it!
ReplyDeleteThe Damage has been done Tanggalin niyo yung si Ms. Ortega yan ang sisira sa inyo
ReplyDeleteInferness sa ADN marami pa ring bumili ng Esquire kaya lang yung picture ni Maine yung kinut nila tsaka sinunog yung article
ReplyDeletei read the article and i know for a fact that your statement is NOT TRUE!
ReplyDeleteMga bwisit kayo naimprenta na pinagkaperahan nyo na wala ng silbi yang regret-regret nyo!
ReplyDeleteSayang yung chance Sold out Sana yung Mag niyo kaya lang ginawa niyong Tabloid yung mga articles
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of maine, but esquire article put her in a bad light. Very bad
ReplyDeleteEsquire is just being objective. Walang kinikilingan. The truth hurts!
DeleteAnon 1:16 mukhang hinde mo nabasa yung article. Hinde sila naging objective...yung totoo nagpa kontrobersyal yung writer nila. Maghanap ka ng magazine na nang insulto ng model nila.
DeleteEh sa in demand ang kinuha nilang Cover Girl eh. Hindi lang naman sila ang obligasyon ni Maine, at ang mali nila, bakit kailangan nilang ilagay yun sa article nila? para ano? para sirain yung maganda niyang image? marami namang artista na nalalate sa photo shoot, sa taping, hindi dapat maging isyu yun kasi NORMAL sa mga artista yun lalo na sa mga IN DEMAND na stars. I really think this is a demolition job. The truth really hurts na ba****ng glossy magazine ang ESQUIRE! @1:16 ang papanget nmn ng mga gawa nila, checked previous issues, at wala talagang dating. Sayang ang 200PHP. Mabuti pa ang Yes Magazine, mas may quality
DeleteANON 1:16 am, mukhang either hindi mo nabasa yung article or kulang ka sa reading comprehension. Or, favorite hanash mo lang yang "truth hurts" para mema ka lang.
Deleteactually siya rin siguro ung nag comment ng truth hurts sa last article about blogger pov vs esquire. inggit na inggit!
Delete"Anyone who reads the article will find that this is not true"
ReplyDeleteSo hindi nyo nga talaga binasa yung sariling article mg magazine nyo. Smh
what's written in your mag says it all...what you wrote here says eitherwise..and we believe you out your thoughts and heart out in your mag..damage control pa more.
ReplyDeleteKaya pala wala masiyadong photos ni Maine sa Mag kasi puro articles ng paninira yung ilalagay
ReplyDeleteStill, your mag has become a trashy tabloid the way you wrote the article.
ReplyDeleteits too late!!! bakit nyo kasi inapprove yun! dont you know na maraming nagmamahal kay maine and jowapao?! tsk2.
ReplyDeleteWell the article is out..buti na lang word got out earlier..most of us didn't have to buy the mag anymore.
ReplyDeletefire the st***d writer!
ReplyDeleteNyeta, explanation on the AlDub phenomenon DAW pero inemphasize na mukhang haggard si Maine, late ng 3 hours at iritable sa shoot, na si Alden ay C-list actor at isinama pa sa shoot ang JoWaPao wala naman anywhere on the article kung anong part ng JoWaPao sa Aldub phenomenon considering na malaking bahagi sila ng istorya.
ReplyDelete"..some camps used our article to attack AlDub fans.." e mismong writer ninyo at magazine ninyo umatake sa AlDub fans at lalo na si Maine
Ewan nga sa inyo, Esquire, imbes na mag-apology kayo isa na namang kalokohan yang explanation ninyo. Asahan na ninyong lalo bababa sales ninyo in the coming months. What a wasted opportunity, AlDub nation ang isa sa fandoms na may malakas na purchasing power!
Nagmamahal, Elphaba
Sana Matauhan kayo Esquire nakakahiya kayo Buti pan Magtabloid nalang kayo kung puro paninira lang ang kaya niyong gawin
ReplyDeletedi ba binabasa ng editor in chief nila ung mga lumalabas sa magazine nila????kahit sino naman makakabasa nun eh madidisappoint..they should be RESPONSIBLE sa lahat ng ilalabas nila....
ReplyDeleteKala nyo kasi sa pictures lang interesado ang AldubNation. Well, nagbabasa din po kami..
ReplyDeleteCongrats Esquire hahaha Damage control
ReplyDeleteBoooooo! Screw youyou!
ReplyDeletePlease. Anyone who read the article knows what it is. Esquire probably realized the hate they're getting right now.
ReplyDeleteTeka lang ah! Esquire PH, may ibang article pa ba ang ALDUB at JOWAPAO bukod sa kumalat na scanned copies? Parang wala nga kaming nabasang maganda about them e. Full of sarcasm!
ReplyDeletelol nakakatawa statement. binabaluktot ang obvious
ReplyDeleteSo unprofessional! Tsk.
ReplyDeleteYeah, right... because your article painted Maine in such a positive light and your writer was full of optimism and admiration for AlDub and ADN...
ReplyDeleteMalagkit na Syete, Equire PH! Wag kami, pasalamat na lang kayo kahit papaano may namisled kayo sa article ninyo at may napabili na AlDub fans pero di na mauulit yan!
Sarcastica Lemons
To EsquirePH:
ReplyDeleteLess talk, less mistake.
Nag effort pa mag explain. The NERVE!
You've lost your credibilty since you featured the guy in the Santa hat. Eek!
Please do include the guy on the jeep also.
Deletetalagang ipambalot na yan esquirePH sa tinapa! iboycott na ang EsquirePH at ang iba pang magazines ng publication na ito!
ReplyDelete"Never said otherwise"?? The fact that you called someone a "C-list actor", demeaning the fans, and practically insulting every facet of the loveteam just contradicts your press statement. Kung anong ihinaba ng litanya ninyo sa panga-alipusta sa AlDub nation & kila Alden & Maine, syang tipid, dishonest & condescending ng "explanation" ninyo.
ReplyDeleteFire that hateful Ortiga woman and the EIC who approved of her article and issue an actual apology.
So true 1242! Get off your high chair Esquire Ph and issue a real/organic apology! And please include Alden in that!
DeleteI do agree... The fact that they did not bother writing anything for JOWAPAO and that unnecessary remark on Alden who was not featured in the magazine deserve an apology.. HMP!!!
Delete#boycottEsquire!
ReplyDeleteHaha naloka ako talaga
ReplyDeleteLol edi titiklop din pala kayo? Are you insinuating that ADN have poor comprehension to completely miss the point of the article? Ewan ko sa inyo.
ReplyDeleteWTF. Pinagsasasabe neto? Napaka obvious naman na nega article nyo! Napakacontradicting ng statement nyo!
ReplyDeletewala kayong ibang masabi no kasi guilty kayo.hinding-hindi na ako bibili ng mag nyo pramis!
ReplyDelete"Anyone who reads the article will find that this is not true." - Hala I have a copy of the mag (which I regret buying it), I read everything in it, it was OBVIOUSLY a negative assessment of Maine. Duh? Anong gusto nyong palabasin Esquire PH? Na hindi kami marunong sa reading comprehension? Na react lang kami ng react without reading your article? Kahit naman yung mga hindi bumili ng magazine nyo mababasa parin kasi nagkalat ang scan copies nung article online. Double Duh!!! Whatever you say Esquire PH, nobody won't buy your magazine from ADN anymore.
ReplyDeleteHahaha Seryoso Esquire yan ang statement niyo? Lalong nagngitngit sa inis at galit mga tao sa inyo! Nakakaloka kayo. Susme! May isip mga nakapagbasa ng nakasulat about Maine and JoWaPao... Wag niyo kaming ginagawang b*bo! Di kami stupido tulad niyo. Wag niyo kaming pinaglololoko ui!
ReplyDeleteIba ata ang binasa ng esquire
ReplyDeleteI think this statement is patronizing, t say the least. Khit ano pang sbhin nyo, damage has been done. Ang ADN matatalino, we know how to distinguisg between an article beautifully written and bashfully written. Sadly, yours was the latter.
ReplyDeleteWeh di nga! Masyadong obvious ung article. Point by point explained! Try explaining it to us point by point then ill give the benefit of the doubt
ReplyDeletemuntik nako bumili nito kanina sa rustans rockwell. naalala ko yung pinost sa twitter. eto lang ang d ko biniling mag ng aldub.
ReplyDeletebibili din sana ako last week naubusan lang ng stock. buti may nagsabi sa twitter wag akong mag effort at di nga maganda ang nakasulat. :(
DeleteSorry Esquire, I might have been born during the day, but I was not born Yesterday, and neither were the readers. It doesn't require an extraordinary amount of intelligence to know that your piece was an absolute attack on Maine, Alden, and their fans. Kindly read the article yourself and find out if the ire aimed at you is justified or not.
ReplyDeleteSo if that's the case, meaning, the EIC is incompetent? Kasi kung yun ang gusto nyong sabihin na ayaw nyong tarnishan ang reputation nila how come inallow nyang mapublish to? Did the writer even got scrutinized how come she ended with that article na full of her opinion? Even Feature Article needs research as well, huyy hindi nga Feature ginawa nya Editorial. She even whined about Maine being late, that she couldn't find a spark and she didn't even mention na kaya nalate it's because may gigs pa prior. If she's really a good writer how come thorough research is not part of her vocabulary? Seems like everything is written to discredit not just Maine and Alden (who's not even part of the cover) but the entire AlDubnation for patronizing their tandem. If you are a competent writer by reading between the line, she's implying something. And if it's not really what you wanted to show, bakit pumasa sainyo yung article nya. So ano trabaho ng EIC? Kemerot lang? It's already there. No matter how much you try to defend your purpose, the article says otherwise.
ReplyDeleteOne thing is sure, Ortiga is a self-absorbed and a highly opinionated bee#%%h.
DeleteI also was so disappointed with how the article was written. It obviously was their "fun" way of putting someone as hugely popular as Maine in a bad light. Kaimbierna lng considering that their mag is so expensive. How come the article done on Angel Aquino was so nicely written? Perhaps the one who issued the statement read another mag or in the wrong page. At least, majority of Meng's fans know better. KEBS na lang!!
DeletePatawa tong Esquire na to.
ReplyDeleteAy wag kami! #nakakainis
ReplyDeleteSo you're going to extend the FUN Issue just to recover from the damage? Or because you think you can fool the AlDubnation once more to milk money from them? If you are trying to win their trust back, well, the game is over.
ReplyDeleteTsk! Wag kami, Esquire
ReplyDeleteNon-apology.
ReplyDeleteAno gusto palabasin ng Esquire di marunong magbasa at umintindi ang Aldubnation??? Booi!!
ReplyDeleteLame a** excuse from a cheap ass publication. And they did it through Instagram?? Yikes
ReplyDeleteBurn esquire!! Burn!!! Like literally!!
ReplyDeleteKung hindi pala true yung article bakit lumabas? Saka kung napaint ng negative yung article eh kasi puno ng negative yung article malamang. Hello? Unang una palang nega na agad. It's your fault actually to let this publish. For Ms. Ortiga, kindly tell me you made tons of research prior writing this. Probably, you want to be unique by doing this or you just don't like them at all, but please keep this as a reminder that if your not comfortable with the assigned topic to you just tell your EIC or just have a decency. Esquire invited them to be featured not to be bashed. Hope you know that.
ReplyDeleteThe mere fact that this unknown Ortiga got away with her rant ? She is definitely a hater of Maine. Esquire,do us a favor please remove her from your mag and stop using her to sell your 'classy' name..duh?!
DeleteAnu tingin nyo sa mga reader inutil? Kahit ata sintu-sinto alam kung anu ibig sabihin ng naturang article.
ReplyDeleteDear Esquire PH, are you sure that you are referring to the trashy article? It was negative in every sense of the word. How can you refute the obvious? Res Ipsa Loquitor.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the writer is insecure with Maine that she wrote how ugly Maine has become.
Yeah, the article speaks for itself on how the writer maligned Maine's professionalism and looks.
DeleteShe's insecure, coz Maine could write better article than her.
Deletesus ginamit lang si maine at jowapao para kumita. magsara ba kayo! tutal puro kopya naman yang cover niyo!
ReplyDeleteHold her in the highest regard? Please read your article again and tell us where in the words, 'skin sagging', 'overdone makeup', is that regard you're talking about. And by the way, I don't think 'camps' attacked us. We think, dear Esquire. I understand that other side you want to show us but just the wrong choice of words. And this statement is nothing but beaming pride on your side. Too much of that is fatal, you know. PS. You didn't even apologize for Wally's last name.
ReplyDeleteEsquirePH, mahirap ba mag-sorry? Kung ano-ano pa sinabi niyo halata namang puro kapintasan isinulat. Lalo pang nakadagdag na para niyo na ding sinabing di kami marunong umintindi... Kami na nakapagbasa ng pinublish niyo! Grabe kayo. Kinuha niyo sila para pintasan, ipahiya?! Grabe lang talaga. GRABE!!! Yan ang tingin niyo sa market/readers niyo.... T*nga? B*bo?! Ganun ba?!
ReplyDeleteThey justified lies with more lies! Maine doesn't need you Esquire.
DeleteWhatever Esquire!
ReplyDeleteTsk tsk tsk @EsquirePH.
ReplyDeleteBinasa ba nung nagpost niyan yung article mismo or gumawa lang ng statement mema ano lang??? walang point yung instagram post niya, basura magazine 5ever
ReplyDeleteIt does not address the issue or does it acknowledge that it was a poorly written . Whatever!
ReplyDeleteWala bang editor itong EsquirePH, kahit sa social media accoutns nila? Ano itong pinagsasabi nilang "For the record, we'd never been shy about telling everyone how lovely Maine was during the shoot" e inemphasize ngang late si Maine, with droopy eyes chena chena "...and only hold her in the highest regard." ano ito? Ga**han? Sino nagsulat nitong post ng Esquire na ito? Hindi ba nila binasa ang sarili nilang magazine? Wala bang proofreader or editors tung magazine na ito???
ReplyDeleteAkala ata nila, ta**a ang Aldub Nation. But ya know, they are educated. At hindi sila basta-basta bibili ng magazine unless it's worth it. Boooo! Esquire PH!
ReplyDeleteHindi jejemon ang AldubNation, mabuti at di ako nkabili
ReplyDeleteSana Esquire mags nlng ang sinunog instead of Nike's! Basura!!!
ReplyDeleteC-List mag
ReplyDeleteDapat di na nila pinasuot ng formal gown si Maine kung lalaitin lang pala nila o nitong feeling gandarang Ortiga. Pwede naman nakapambahay yung tao kung nega pala yung article nya! Sus palusot pa itong mag na ito.
ReplyDeleteShut Up! Paliwanag nyo yan sa lelang nyo! Incompitent kayong lahat jan sa Esquire! oo nilalahat ko na?! Ka beast mode!
ReplyDeleteAs the saying goes "NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF ALDUB NATION"
ReplyDeleteit's so annoying how they still had the audacity to tell shabby excuses.to those who bought copies of their mag, why don't you half burn them and send back to their office?after all, I think their piece of trash doesn't deserve a space I your rubbish bin.
ReplyDeleteJOURNALISM AT ITS WORST!
ReplyDeletebaka isa sila sa naninira talaga kay maine. nako kayo wag ganon, mabuti ng mabait si maine at ang JoWaPao kaya umayos kayo. hay! nako
ReplyDeleteSAN KYO NAKAKITA NA PINAG COVER SA MAGAZINE TAPOS NEGATIVE ANG ISUSULAT...TRUST AND RESPECT ARE GONE. DI MAN LANG NAG APOLOGIZE PARANG YUNG FANS PA ANG MAY MALI AT KAILANGAN MAG SORRY SA INYO. ILAGAY NYO NA LANG SA BASURA ANG MAGAZINE NYO
ReplyDeleteAldubnation is not an ordinary fandom. Majority of fans are smart and thinking people. Big mistake for any magazine or tabloid to think that aldub fans are just "mere" fans.
ReplyDeleteWhere in your article, dear Esquire, did you hold Maine in the highest regard? Your non-apology just proves how trashy your magazine has become.
ReplyDeleteTo tell you honestly, it's even better to read tabloids over you. At least with them, we expect the worst. Well at least the readers know better.
And excuse me, don't insult the intelligence of Aldub fans. You think too highly of yourself. Tsk.
"some camps"??? hello!! ang nagsulat ng article taga esquire!!! T*nG@ lang?
ReplyDeleteThis is a non-apology! Esquire is like an ungracious host to invited visitors to their mag. If u keep on writing like this about ur covers then who woukd wanna be in it? Why focus on the negatives instead of the positives. Why sound like so high and mighty and unwelcoming, like u are better than ur subjects. Pasosyal ang dating ng writer na parang napilitan magsulat about them. If u are writing a feature article on someone, try harder to know them and not write like ur superior than them. Nakaka turn off ang mag nyo, bakit ako bibili kung BV and mababasa ko. On a business standpoint, di ba u need to sell kaya give the readers what they wanna read.. Mga GV articles na nakaka uplift and nakaka happy. Duhhh!!
ReplyDeleteThis!
DeleteExactly baks! Like a formal invitation tapos ipapakain ka pala sa lion! Ang tataas nyo Esquire- dapat ilipat nyo si Ortiga sa tabloid para me reliever si Cristy Fermin.
Deleteavoiding the true issue?? ang issue eh yung writer nyo PANGIT sinulat regarding Maine, puro panglalait!! grabe pala now ma feature ka sa Esquire gandara sa cover papangitin ka sa article!
ReplyDeleteAn apology is required. To get the message across, boycott the product. Their target population group is so specialized that she was so condescending about the ALDUB fans, just short of saying we do not need you for our magazine to sell. Oh ok, we are more than educated enough to know that we have been served crap, Esquire.
ReplyDeleteMga walang hiya! Di nko bibili ng mag nyo ever!
ReplyDeletePLASTIC!!!
ReplyDeleteafter I left a comment on Esquire IG,funny how I got a follow request from Kara Ortiga.looks like she's been reading the comments as well.
ReplyDeleteI dont buy your explanation esquire!
ReplyDeleteIcocover nyo yung tao tapos lalaitin yun. Ano yun?! Pinagkaperahan nyo lang si maine. Mga traydor!
ReplyDeleteIcocover nyo tapos puro negative isusulat nyo? Para kayong nag invite ng bisita tapos sisiraan nyo sa ibang tao. Bastos ang tawag dun. Sana hindi nyo n lang sya kinuhang cover.
ReplyDeleteYung tone ng explanation nyo mapagmataas. Ang taas ng tingin nyo sa sarili nyo. Sana wala nang bumili ng magazine nyo.
ReplyDeleteNow i know. EsquirePH magazine is rubbish. Taas dati ng tingin ko sa magazine na to. Now, atleast people know this magz is trashy.
ReplyDeleteEh kayo kaya tawagin kong C-list magazine.
ReplyDeleteIninsulto nyo si maine. Ang sama sama nyo. Kukuhanin nyong cover tapos iinsultuhin nyo lang.
ReplyDelete"Some camps have used our article to attack aldub fans.." What?!! Eh yung writer nyo who's attacking aldub & aldub nation eh. Hindi lang si maine & alden ang iniinsulto nyo pati mga fans nila.
ReplyDeleteEsquireph lalo nyo lang ginagalit ang aldub nation, feeling nyo hindi mga thinking people ang fans ng aldub?
ReplyDeleteSo I'm guessing na hindi ako dapat bumili ng Esquire magazine. May nakita kasi ako sa 711 kaso kinulang ako sa pera dahil may iba ko binili.
ReplyDelete"Anyone who reads will find that this is not true". Excuse me in denial ba kayo na madaming na-offend sa article nyo. Iniinsulto nyo mga readers, we can read between the lines ok. Taas ng tingin nyo sa sarili nyo. Wala na sanang bumili ng magazine nyo.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so this is your "Fun" issue. Fun issue should give FUN or atleast indicate it on your mag that it was just a pure joke, but this is not even funny at all.
ReplyDeleteYou can crack a joke at her, but what you've wrote...seems you simply wants to discredit her and oh you forgot the 3 man.
Kung humanap ka ng mga nakakatawang questions or look at the witty sides probably you'll ace this. Kaso sa tono ng article mo hindi sya joke. And Esquire for allowing it to be published, such an irresponsible act.
We can all agree that not everyone like Aldub. However, this article was written maliciously. it was not written professionally nor with respect in mind.
ReplyDeleteWhile a few select people call this piece an "honest and refreshing" take on Maine, I don't understand why it highlighted the fact she arrived late, droopy eyed and wobbling. Why is it not about her being very hardworking and in so much demand she hardly has time to herself?! Explain also Junior's C-list label! He is a multi-awarded celebrity who wasn't even on the blasted cover! What was that little gem of information based on? Please I beg you, do enlighten me! Did you also forget to include your fantastic insight to the genius that is JoWaPao, an integral part to the success of the AlDub phenomenon?! ADN welcomes and respects other people's opinion. No one is forcing anybody to like them. But since you featured Maine and JoWaPao in your magazine, the very least you could do is give them due credit and respect because they are all decent and hardworking individuals. In their own little way, they spread happiness, hope and positivity to the Filipinos. Sadly, I couldn't say the same thing about you.
ReplyDeleteOn point! my thoughts exactly!
DeleteI just don't buy that mag anymore! the end.
ReplyDeleteAno naman ang sagot nila sa ginawa nila sa jowapao? Pang props lang?
ReplyDeleteKung meron lang akong copy neto talagang susunugin ko, ivivideo ko pa at isesend ko pa sa twitter acct nila! Sobrang nakakanginig sa galit ginawa ng mga to!
ReplyDeletePinaka kinagigigilan ko talaga tong Kara Ortiga na to na kala mo kagandahan masyadong nagmamaganda! ang panget mo kaya!
ginamit lang nila si maine and jowapao para bilhin ang magazine nila, ngayon naman damange control para di sila iboycott. ayusin nyo trabaho nyo para kumita magazine nyo hindi yung makiki-ride on lang
ReplyDeleteBOYCOTT ESQUIRE! WHAT'S THIS? A NON-APOLOGY APOLOGY? NANG-AANO KAYO EH! PLS STOP DIGGING YOUR OWN GRAVE...ADMIT YOU MESSED UP, NOW YOU'RE TRYING TO SAVE WHAT CAN BE SAVED? YOUR MAG IS A F****N JOKE!!!
ReplyDeleteI will never buy your magazine, Esquire. Ever. Maraming magazinr dyan. Baka mayroon pang Liwayway, mas yun pa ang bibilhin ko kesa sa basurang magazine nyo.
ReplyDeleteGo to hell Esquire!
ReplyDeleteAldub fans are not stupid Esquire. Have you ever seen a fandom that holds medical missions?
ReplyDeleteBad article. Irresponsible editing. Get off your high horses. Lol, i do hope that esquire wont alienate the companies that maine represents and stands for. Goodluck.
ReplyDeleteI'm not buying it! Literally and figuratively.
ReplyDeleteGupitin ang pictures nila Maine at ipadala ang magazine sa kanilang office. Make sure may bahid ng dog shit - a shitty piece deserves a piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just Maine, pati Jowapao. Sinama pa wala naman palang ilalagay sa article about sa kanila. Parang ang bastos lang kasi. Magazine ang binebenta, hindi naman tabloid.
ReplyDeleteWell, tignan ko lang kung may bumili pa ng esquire ngayon. Fire that writer or kiss your company goodbye.
ReplyDeleteSinayang lang nila ang opportunity na kumita ng bongga ang mag nila.
ReplyDeleteEsquire and that Yes Magazine who featured James Reid belong to one company, Summit Media. Anong trip ng mga to?! Demolition job for the two hottest loveteams in their respective networks?
ReplyDeleteEveryone from Esquire PH should GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSES! Although I am a fan of Maine that didn't taint my judgment that you have a badly written article. The freaking author didn't EVEN GET TO SPEAK TO MAINE! She's obviously an intellectual snob. Typical of a FUGLY person who graduated from UP and didn't do good in life. I'm sorry to say that I will never buy your magazine again. Your nothing but BULLIES.
ReplyDeleteMakadawit lang ng alma mater. Grabe. Tard na tard
DeleteObviously, hindi kayo regular readers of Esquire.
ReplyDeleteIBANG KLASE DIN ANG ESQUIRE!! FIRST, YOU FEATURED MAINE/JOWAPAO SA MAGAZINE NYO PARA I-MARKET ANG COPIES SA AMING MGA FANS. OF COURSE BUMILI KAMI KASI IDOL NAMIN ANG NAKA-FEATURE. PAGKATAPOS NAMING I-SPEND ANG MGA PERA NAMIN SA INYO, YUN LANG ANG MAPAPALA NAMIN, PURO KA-NEGAHAN?! "NAGANTSO KAMI, GANOIN???
ReplyDeleteMukhang pagod at haggard naman na talaga si Maine lalo na nung pinanood ko sa Eat Bulaga kahapon.
ReplyDeleteNakakatawa talaga, dahil panget lang ang nasabi kay Maine e mali na kaagad ang Esquire. Wala namang perpektong tao.
ReplyDeleteSa susunod esquire gawin nyo rin yan sa ibang loveteams. magpakatotoo rin kayo sa kung ano nakikita nyo sa kanila. lahat ba ng nafeature nyo ginaganyan nyo?
ReplyDeleteSusunugin ko pa rin ang Esquire mag to show how crappy the Mag is. And never ever buy this Mag ever...ever...
ReplyDeleteEsquire Lagot na2wagan ang ibang ADN na iboycot kau.... Tsk... Tsk...tsk....Iba mag Salita ang ADN.....
ReplyDeleteWhatever ESQUIRE. NOT BUYING your mags from this day forward. Sorry not sorry
ReplyDeleteEsquire completey missed the point! What a pathetic of an excuse For a publication. These writers are amateurs.
ReplyDeleteseriously this made me more
ReplyDeletefurious
SARCASTIC ang reply lol
ReplyDeleteAno ito the writer is just writing for herself to please herself kahit na I trash nya yung subject nya. Unprofessional! V
ReplyDeleteAno ito the writer is just writing for herself to please herself kahit na I trash nya yung subject nya. Unprofessional! V
ReplyDeleteSa mga OA na mga faneys, di wag bumili ng magazine!! Tapos!
ReplyDeletePero isipin nyo din na strategy yan para maging controversial ang magazine!!
Your statement is as dumb as your article. And so, this is how you write about people who you say you have high regards for? Please, don't make us incompetent as you are. It's your writer that you should blame and not this so called other camp you made up.
ReplyDeleteafter stating my point on Esquire IG, Kara Ortiga tried following me, and so with other commenters, which puzzled us .Then suddenly I got blocked on Esquire IG. Lol. Guess it was Kara O who's behind the blocking.
ReplyDeleteme too! they cant handle the truth! they blocked us and invited their legions to comment on their favor. they're pathetic!
DeleteI got blocked on esquire's ig page too after saying my two cents. How low of them. They had all the time in the world to block and follow people but never had the time to actually READ their own articles lol. Way to go, Esquire!
ReplyDeleteCopy paste their apology, Tapos write your piece on Facebook and make it public. That way even if they block it, people will see what you have to say. I replied to them too and I guess ma bo-block din ako soon enough so I just posted it on FB.
DeletePathetic excuse.
ReplyDeleteOh please Esquire Philippines you completely missed the point. People are turned-off by your article simply because it was such an amateur piece. It's not innovative at all. It was poorly written, poorly researched, and downright tasteless. It has nothing to do with upsetting fans at all. I'm not even a fan of Maine Mendoza but I found this appalling because your writer didn't even meet the girl personally and just corresponded through email and yet she wrote the article like it was beneath her. My second issue with this article is how the writer described Alden Richards as a C-List Actor. Come on, even if you don't watch GMA, you could easily Google and see his work prior to the Kalyeserye. Just because you didn't know the guy doesn't mean he's some loser. This was written by a wannabe pa SOSHAL writer. And you are defending it because your editors approved of it when it wouldn't have passed the standards of other decent editors. Look Esquire people are not dumb. I know the writing style of your foreign counterparts. Esquire US, Vanity Fair, Vogue, etc. and it's not in the same level. I remember reading Vanity Fair articles featuring Jennifer Lawrence, Taylor Swift, etc and they too mentioned how they were late, their nuances, and all that crap. But they sat down with their subject for an entire day to get to know them and that's when their feature got meaty. You simply didn't do that. Get over it. You should have done a REAL apology. Or better yet, just admit that you think you guys are too classy to be featuring something like this and that you had no choice but to join the bandwagon so you can at least reach your sales targets for a change.
ReplyDelete
