^ diba taga GMA man ni sha?
Thanks for the additional details. It clarifies some facts about the talents' employment with the network.
I wondered though if those talents ever or really knew, before filing the case, that they were not entitled to such benefits given the fact that they were not really regular employees.
Victims of such foul conduct brought about by greed, neglect, discrimination and power play often find themselves succumbing to such inexcusable and unjustifiable practices over the years. How and why did these talents allow such things to happen to them? There are many possible reasons such as naivety, the yearning for fame, the lack of knowledge on more professional practices of career-planning and long-term management, and the elusiveness of trustworthy talent managers, scouts and booking agents in Cebu.
These heartless pros in the entertainment industry take advantage of this and use it against the talents to exploit them out of their services. It is unfortunate that this has been quite common in a city known for its rich source of talented individuals. Let me share to you some of these stories.
"For the Sake of Exposure"
This is such an overused excuse given to amateur talents for miniscule talent fees. Unbelievable this may seem, but certain malls in Cebu pay dancers a three-digit compensation, which they have to divide among their members. In other words, a take-home pay that would not even reach home at all! Whether they are amateurs or professionals, these hardworking talented individuals deserve much more than what they bargain for. Yes, the pay "may be" sufficient for transportation expenses but it takes more than just getting to the venue to entertain the audience. What about the costumes? The endless nights of rehearsals and expenses these dance groups have to invest in their performances? Surely, the organizers did not pay these dance groups just to get to the venue? They must offer them what's due to them! This means a reasonable amount for their efforts in drawing a crowd, entertaining their valued customers, and for helping promote their establishment.
Does anyone here agree/disagree with this. Do you know any local entertainers who were "victims"?
yun naman pala e, the case was already decided, so wa nay angay pagusapan pa, its nothing more than panira puri
With all the things discussed so far, I believe that locals who wish to make a living out of showbiz are better off finishing their education and getting office jobs. The two giant TV networks obviously cannot provide enough compensation for these "talents" in the long term. Heck, those talent seach programs on TV are just misleading the clueless members of the local youth. The result, some of these youths end up doing the wrong changes with the following idea: "drop of out school, enter showbiz, get famous and rich beyond all dreams, etc."
Why should the youth give up their education for something worth much less? Drop out of school just to dance on local TV shows? Try to get rich with a wage of P269 a day? Let's face it - local showbiz is a bad place to invest your future on.
To Ritchie "StarStruck is more important than Education" D. Nolasco, you admitted before that Lou Dayoc is your friend. Don't deny it.

On TV ratings - the ratings war between the networks would not matter so much if people unite and turn the TV off.
