GMA Network hates Cebuanos

Speak out: Welfare of local entertainers
By Ritchie D. Nolasco
Banilad, Cebu City

FOR many years, entertainers in Cebu have struggled not only to develop talents but also to survive.

Even if Cebu has boomed, entertainers continue to struggle with low pay, lack of labor protection and unfair bargaining agreements with employers.

As if these were not bad enough, Cebuano entertainment continues to bear a lot of negativity,. .

Whenever I hear stories of Cebuano singing contestant manipulated by contest organizers in Metro Manila, my heart bleeds.

When I saw local dancers and technical officials lose their jobs when a TV network axed their show in favor of a poorly conceived show, my heart bled.

When I heard that Cebuano dancers cannot join Manila bands for lack of Tagalog reading skills, my heart cried.

Now is therefore the time Cebu should move to strengthen local entertainment and those involved in it.

We don't need Manilans to help us build our entertainment industry when we can do it better on our own.

If our local tycoons can band together, we can set up the first 100 percent Cebuano TV network that can rival the likes of GMA and ABS-CBN.

We can also justify that local entertainers deserve:

--Better rights ( laws against illegal dismissal should be strengthened);

--Better collective bargaining agreements or CBAs;

--Better pay (at least P1,200 a day).

Even if a dancer only spends an entire day practicing moves until the big show comes, he or she deserves to be paid as much as any office worker earns.

A P300 for a day's work is not enough, even though the cost of living here is much lower than in Luzon's cities.

I strongly appeal to our local government leaders to promote the rights and welfare of Cebuano entertainers, even at the amateur level.

Without them, our Sinulog grand parade would not be so lively.

Cebu itself has world-class entertainers, it's time we all take them seriously.

I am Cebuano but I patronize GMA-7 better than ABS-CBN...is it because in my place the signal of the former is clearer. Regardless, of what people say I say GMA is the better managed station.

Tumpak! Totally agree with you... Why would i hate my source of income!??!

What if, for example, your followers abandoned you in favor of your arch rival, causing problems to your income?

^^ kansi gihapon mo bai. Dapat naa jud na TF. Angay anang mga talents magkahiusa mo aron di mo ma take advantage. Ang network naka kwarta man ana sa product placements, pila ra mana ang gasto tawn sa kaon ug transpo oi kaysa oras na inyo gi gahin sa pagpraktis. Kung di man gani at least ngayo mo ug X-deal. Ako suggestion ninyo mga talents mag kahiusa mo aron di mo alkanse. Nya get a good manager.

This video reflects your words.

It's a video of a show organized by GMA in Cebu years ago at Ayala Center.

StarStruck promoter Ritchie D. Nolasco would easily and blindly call it "world class".
