Mercedes Cabral siguradong pinagsisisihan na ang pagmura at pambabastos kay Mother Lily

MERCEDES CABRAL AT LILY MONTEVERDE

ABUT-ABOT marahil ang regrets o pagsisisi ng indie film actress na si Mercedes Cabral dahil sa extent of damage na nilikha ng kanyang mga pinakawalang salita laban kay Mother Lily Monteverde.

Posibleng right after issuing brickbats against the Regal matriarch ay ipinagbunyi
iyon ni Chedeng for simply speaking her mind, magalit na kung magagalit ang recipient ng mga pinakawalan niyang maaanghang na salita.

Kaso, buong showbiz “yes, nilalahat na namin” is up in arms against her and taking the cudgels for Mother Lily.

This is rather impersonal, hindi kasi kami malapit kay Mother Lily. But our non-closeness doesn’t mean we don’t respect her.

Una, dapat lang igawad ang paggalang kay Mother Lily dahil mas may-edad siya kesa sa amin. Nasa hayskul pa lang kami when her movie company, Regal Films, came into being.

From a virtual fan, seeing the stars literally descend from heaven so delighted her. Regal Films had taken from where the old studios had left off, discovering stars, providing jobs, etcetera. Thus, ang ikalawang dahilan na kabuntot nito.

Mother Lily had established herself as a revered institution sa negosyo ng paggawa ng pelikula.

While her competitors have come and gone ay narito pa rin siya armed with the same thrust the way she built her empire.

Mother Lily is David in the industry, pero hindi ibig sabihin na Goliath is Chedeng. Matalim lang na tabas ng dila ang sandata ng da who actress na ito, hindi tirador na magpapabagsak sa napili niyang kalabanin.

And even if Mother Lily loses the fight, hindi rin ibig sabihin na “game over” na
iyon. May mga kawal ang prodyuser who are out to protect her fortress from the attacker.

Imadyinin n’yo ang lakas ng puwersa ng mga taong ito her fellow producers from whose projects ay nakadepende ang career ni Chedeng, grupo ng mga talent ma-nagers whose artists (upon stern orders from their ma-nagers) can reject Chedeng bilang katrabaho, mga artista mismo who are disappointed, if not disgusted, sa asal ni Chedeng na hinding-hindi na makikipagtrabaho sa kanya, directors (most of whom have directed movies for Regal) na ayaw rin siyang makasama.

This is the most telling scenario na nakikita namin from here on. Mahusay kung sa mahusay si Mercedes Cabral.

Ang mga parangal na kanyang tinanggap sa loob at labas ng bansa will speak for themselves.
Panalo siya kung image as an actress ang pag-uusapan. But all this is skin-deep and superficial. It’s still one’s cha-racter that matters the most in this business.

And we mean good moral character, parang kumuha ka lang ng requirement sa pinanggalingan mong high school before you can enrol in college.

To make it even more disappointing is the fact na produkto pala si Chedeng ng isa sa mga prestihiyosong pamantasan sa bansa.

In a broader scope, this is not about the school one comes from it is the values that one has.
And does not have. Sadly and truthfully, the real fuc***ing idiots have none!

Have mercy on Mercedes.
