GMA haharap sa matinding pagsubok sa pagbabalik ni Bong

BONG REVILLA

ISANG malaking hurdle ang susuungin ng GMA kaugnay ng pagsasadula ng teleserye tampok ang nagbabalik na senador na si Bong Revilla.

Pagka-announce pa lang kasi that GMA made a go for Bong’s Agimat Ng Agila, the first to expressly put his foot down was Jim Paredes. “GMA should know better,” aniya sa kanyang social media post.

Siyempre, hindi ‘yon pinalampas ng manager ni Bong na si Lolit Solis in much the same way that she never spared Janine Gutierrez from her rant. Naungkat pa tuloy ang sex video scandal ng dating Apo Hiking Society member.

Given the dissenting public opinion, isang hamon ito para sa GMA to market its upcoming show slated this year in a way na tatangkilikin ito, setting aside the unsettling feeling na si Bong ang bibida roon vis a vis a villainous image when charged with plunder.

Bigla rin tuloy nanariwa sa aming alaala ang isang proyekto noon ng GMA na hindi pa man nagsisimulang umere had totally been scrapped. May pagkamaselan kasi ang tema nito, pag-iibigang namuo sa pagitan ng isang Kristiyano at ng isang Muslim.

Nasa promo stage na ito only to call off the project despite its good intention. May layer kasi ng religion, isa sa iilang paksang napakaselang talakayin.

Wala itong inilayo sa usaping pulitika na isa ring napaka-touchy issue which should never be brought up even in casual discussions among friends lest may kung anong ‘di kanais-nais na eksena waiting to happen.

Bong’s TV series, however, has not a tiny bit of politics in it, bagkus ito’y isang action fantasy which caters to kids. Except when the kids’ knowing parents or adult guardians get in the way ay makakaasa ang GMA at si Bong mismo na may future ang teleserye.

Maliban na lang if the elders will rewrite history.
