The days preceding Holy Week was not quiet because of the many controversies that happened particularly in showbiz. Top of the list is the fight between the Presidential Kris Aquino. It's Kris Aquino so expect it to become a "national concern". It even became more "news worthy" because of the appearance of the other Presidential sisters in Ted Failon's interview for ABS-CBN and Jessica Soho's interview for GMA.
Things that are worthy to note are the phrases "three years" and "isang iyak ko lang sa tv". The three years comment of course was interpreted by many as a direct reference to the President himself who still three years in office. This comment did not sit well with I think a lot of people. If Kris Aquino indeed said that, that would mean exercising power for personal gains. And that I think is not right because it does not go well with "daang matuwid". The isang iyak comment was believed to refer to her power to convince people. She definitely has convincing powers. The many endorsements she has prove that people really believe what she says. But this time, did people really believe her. According to news reports and tsismis alike, many actually believed James yap more than Kris. I don't have the facts to support that but if it indeed were true, then her convincing power is now put in question. How will the advertisers react to this?
The other controversy is that of Kapuso actress Heart Evangelista and Chiz Escudero. It became big news because it involved persons in showbiz and politics. Many reacted to the issue because Heart Evangelista is no longer a child to be 'helped' by her parents in this manner. Many say that she is already old enough to make her own decisions. But the mother was good in the sense that she already had a defense in case people will throw her this argument. She said that her daughter is a 'needy' person plus some other things. But the sad thing is, she actually put her daughter down. The alleged qualities of Heart are not really worthy of a person idolized by many.
Chiz Escudero was also put in a very bad light. It became even worse because he is seeking re-election. Had it been thrown at him at a time other than election season, damage would have been a little less manageable. But the latest surveys actually showed that it already had an effect on his popularity. He dropped a few notches lower.
So what do we do with these controversies? Nothing! These are private issues that just happen to have happened in the lives of public figures. They do not directly affect us if you come to think about it. Their effect in our lives will probably come in in the future -- that is if the President will really use his powers for personal matters and if the re-electionist Senator is really an alcoholic which might affect his work as a legislator.
Did I say anything new here? Not really! I just want to ride the tide. Lol
