KRIS AQUINO AT ERICKSON RAYMUNDO
SA huling tsikahan namin ni Erickson Raymundo sa wake ng isang common friend ay nabanggit niyang siya na ang bagong business manager ni Kris Aquino sa mga digital transactions.
Dati ay non-digital ang hawak ng CEO ng Cornerstone at Presidente ng Spring Films. At dahil wala na ang taong may hawak ng digital business transactions ni Kris ay ipinagkatiwala na ito ng Social Media Queen kay Erickson.
Sabi ng manager ng mga kilalang artists ng ABS-CBN, “Oo, kami na lahat, lahat ng bagong pasok at renewals kami na ang may hawak. Medyo nanganganay nga ako kasi ang laki-laking artista ni Kris, hindi kami sanay. Pero thankful kami kasi nagtiwala siya at hindi naman namin sisirain ‘yun.”
Matatandaang inalok na siya ni Kris noon pero hindi natuloy dahil paalis-alis naman ng bansa ang kilalang social media influencer hanggang sa nagbalik-pelikula siya sa “I Love You, Hater” at dito na natuloy si Erickson bilang business manager sa non-digital. “Natuloy din after a year,” saad nito.
Ang Bise Presidente ng Cornerstone na si Jeff Vadillo ang tagabasa ng lahat ng kontrata ni Kris, “Kay Jeff lahat dumadaan ang contracts bago sa akin,” sabi pa ni Erickson.
Nasa Maldives ngayon si Erickson pagkatapos nitong mag-Boracay last week, “Ang tagal kong hindi nakabakasyon, ang daming ginagawa kasi, ang daming blessings kaya nakakatuwa, thankful talaga kaming lahat, group effort ‘yun. Pangako ko kasi sa sarili ko na every weekend magbabakasyon ako para makapag-recharge.”
Si Erik Santos ang kasama ni Erickson na nanglibre ng pamasahe niya bilang blow out nito sa success ng 15th anniversary concert na ginawa sa MOA Arena.
Post ni Erickson habang nasa Maldives, “For as long as I can remember, my time has been spent around my life’s work and making sure it continues to evolve and progress (with the help of the industry’s best team, of course!)
“Never really thought of doing an extended break until now. Since early this year, I have decided to do regular breaks, not only for health reasons – but also while I still have my youth to enjoy and actually see the world in all its natural glory as most of my overseas trips are all about work.
“So yes, 12 days of blissful dolce far niente (officially just 6 days of work leaves). Thank God I have a trusted and reliable Cornerstone family so I don’t have to worry much about the office burning down until I get back.
“Currently on my second leg of my trip (Boracay last week) – the amazing islands of Maldives! I’ve always wanted to come here with a good friend like Erik Santos who wants to take a break after his milestone concert (at least may kahati sa gastos!) and another friend from the US. Thanks Erik for treating me with the flights! #Maldives.”
Sa isa pang litratong ipinost niya habang nakasakay sa bisikleta, ito ang iniligay niyang caption, “Life is like learning how to ride a bicycle. We have always been taught that it’s a natural process to get scared whenever you start out at anything. From small things such as learning a new skill to major life decisions such as switching careers.
“At this point in my life, it is never about being daunted by that first wobble (when you start from point zero or when you overthink about falling and getting all bruised up)
“Before anything else, it is about knowing why you’re doing the ride. Then comes the ceaseless drive to push forward, wherever you are headed – near or far.”
