Isa-isa nang pinakawala ng tv 5 ang malalaking artista na nasa kanila gaya nina Sharon Cuneta, Lorna T at Aga Muhlach. Next month naman mag-e-expire na ang kontrata ni Nora Aunor. Knowing fully well na hindi rin naman rater si Ate Guy base sa poor showing ng mga shows niya sa TV5, is it safe to say na pakakawalan na siya?
As of now, Ate Guy is still very active on the big screen with the indie films she’s doing. “Hustisya” just won her another best actress award and it’s being shown in filmfests abroad, but it has yet to have a commercial theatrical release locally. Her movie “Dementia” is now being in theatres but the box office take is dismal.
Now, if this became a blockbuster, we can be assured that more producers would be interested in her. Nasaan a ang mga avid Noranians na nakikipaglaban para gawin siyang national artist? Bakit hindi nila suportahan si Nora Aunor?
How come they didn’t go watch her movie? Right now, she’s doing another prestige project for Director Dante Mendoza who helmed her in “Thy Womb” that also gave her more acting awards. Their new film is Taklub currently being filmed in Tacloban about the fate of the residents there who suffered from last year’s killer typhoon. This is being produced by Sen. Loren Legarda.
So far, ganum din ang kaso nina Sharon Cuneta at Aga Muhlach. Alam nating nalugi sa kanila ang TV 5 dahil sa malaking talent fees nila. Sharon didn’t finish her contract anymore and asked to be released.
Aga’s contract has expired. We heard he’s willing to renew it, but he wants it on a guaranteed contract basis, meaning: He’d be paid whether he has a show or not. But TV5 didn’t bite this time, so he was replaced by Ogie Alcasid in hosting “Let’s Talk Pilipinas.”
We all know there’s truth in the saying “lahat ay lumilipas.” Ate Guy, Ate Shawie and Aga should still somehow be thankful that they have relatively long shelf lives compared to other stars who quickly faded away, especially Aga who was even paired with much younger leading ladies in rom-coms, until recently.
As to where their careers will go now depend on the network who’ll be willing to gamble on them now that they’re past their prime. Their best bets is to star in a TV series that will rate really high and successfully rekindle the public’s interest in them.
They can take a cue from Maricel Soriano, who successfully made a comeback via GMA7’s hit “Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real.”
