MERCEDES CABRAL AT LILY MONTEVERDE
WANTING public attention to herself, indie bit player and starlet to stratospheric proportion Mercedes Cabral lambasted Regal Matriarch Lily Monteverde.
Apparently, Mercedes was miffed by Mother Lily’s statement, “There is a time for the indie movies. But not during the Christmas season. Christmas is for the family.”
Mercedes ranted on her Facebook account, not mincing her words against Mother Lily.
“Nakakaawa ang mga bata? Sabihin mo lang e ang habol mo lang e kita ng pelikula mo. Saka bayaran mo ng maayos mga tao mo. Ni hindi ka nga makapag bayad ng matino sa mga taong nagtatrabaho sayo e. At kayo lang ba ang may karapatan magpalabas ng pelikula tuwing Pasko? Fuc***ing idiot,” wrote Mercedes.
Walang binanggit na name si Mercedes pero many believe na si Mother ang tinutukoy niya. Anger consumed her all because of Mother Lily’s statement. Talaga namang ang Pasko ay pambata, ‘no! Tama si Mother Lily. May proper venue for indie. Magpasalamat ka nga, Mercedes, at nakapasok ang movie mo sa MMFF.
Isa pa, Mother Lily did not say it with CONDESCENSION. Wala siyang masamang intention.
Anyway, sana’y ‘wag nang patulan ni Mother Lily ang fuc***ing idiot na ‘yan. Ang ganda-ganda ng “Mano Po 7: Chinoy” ng Regal and we feel na talagang kikita ito.
Anyway, ang daming nagtanggol kay Mother Lily sa isang popular website. Basag na basag ang Mercedes.
“Nasaktan ako dito. Fan ako ng mga old Regal Films movies, napakaganda lalo na nung 80s at 90s. Sana naman hindi ganyan si Mercedes na walang modo.
“Dugo’t pawis pinuhunan ni Mother Lily, sana inunawa na lang nya. Napakasakit matawag na idiot. Grabe lang huh!”
“No matter what, Mother Lily is already an institution. Showbiz is not what it is right now if not for her support in the film industry. She made huge stars in the 80s-90s too.”
“K na sanang ipaglaban nga ang movie nya pero yung hinde naman respetuhin c mother lily. Alam mo mga sikat na artistang gumagawa ng pelikula nila kilala na nila c mother.
“Wag masyadong mayabang magsalita te…kahit magaling kapa, mas madami pa ding magaling syo. Hinde pa bastos.”
“May point din naman si mother. Christmas is for the kids. how can 3-5yrs old children appreciate those films? don’t get me wrong. I love indie films, may substance and they deserve more credit than what they are getting. Maybe they can organize an award giving body for the quality films like Cannes.”
