I never write about showbiz stuff, because it just isn’t my thing. Watch/read/talk about however, well, let’s just say I always know what’s going on.

Pep.ph has become part of my daily must read as it was after all, pioneered by one of of the most respected writers in print — Ms. Joanne Maglipon (For those who don’t know, she was imprisoned during the Marcos era). Karen Pagsolingan, was also a colleague back when I was still on the business side of Summit. She was a former Associate Publisher of Yes! magazine.

Now why did I devote space to this topic? Because of my ire for Ms. Annabel Rama.

“Nako day di nagpoponta se Retsard sa Robinsons noh! Sa is im sya nagshoshow”

That phrase, in my opinion has to be one of the most degrading statements I have ever heard on local television.

I know it is wrong to judge a person based on a single statement alone, more so when that person is emotional, but what do you mean, “sa is im sha nagshohow“? I worked in the print industry for 4 years, in that span of time, I’ve learned that every piece of material you publish has to be sensitive to your core reader’s lifestyle. You never discriminate or put labels on people, because your readership is the main reason you’re still in the business in the first place. Pffft.

Frankly, I don’t care whether that “gun toting” incident did or didn’t happen. I’m just one of those people who think that there can be a peaceful resolution to whatever it is that is happening now.

“Sa is im sha nagshoshow”?

Ms. Annabel Rama, I am not surprised that you have all this trash being hurled at you. Using your statement above, I guess you can tell your son Richard Guiterrez to stop taking Cebu Pacific flights, or eat URC food, or consume URC beverages. The list goes on and on. I hope you can take the civil approach that Ms. Joanne Maglipon and co. are taking now in this thread here.

And oh, just in case you’re still wondering who’s behind Pep.ph, you should know that the site is a joint project between Summit Media and GMA7. Maybe you should file a restraining order on your son’s network too.
