Jason Hernandez at Moira dela Torre
HINDI pinalampas ni Cornerstone Entertainment Vice President Jeff Vadillo ang Facebook post ng nagpakilalang dating kaibigan ni Moira dela Torre na nagsabing may ghostwriter ito sa mga isinulat niyang hit songs.
Ayon sa dating kaibigan ni Moira ay hindi na niya napigilan ang sarili na magsalita dahil kaliwa’t kanan ang pamba-bash sa kaibigan niyang si Jason Marvin Hernandez na asawa ng mang-aawit. Yes, mag-asawa pa rin sila dahil hindi pa annulled ang kanilang kasal.
Ang FB post ng dating kaibigan ni Moira ay umabot na sa 40,000 shares kaya’t kailangan nang magsalita ni Jeff para ipagtanggol ang singer bilang kaibigan at artist ng Cornerstone Entertainment.
Nag-post si Jeff ng larawan nila ni Moira na may caption na, “I have known Moira for almost 2 Decades. She has been our artist and more than that a Sister to me.
“There is this FB Post currently circulating that’s casting shade on her integrity as an artist and songwriter. As a witness to her hard work and genuine talent, I cannot take this sitting down.
“This person claimed a FUN FACT (which is really not fun at all) that 95% of Moira’s hits were composed by Jason Marvin. Paubaya, Ikaw at Ako, Pabilin, EDSA, Patawad, Kumpas, Babalik Sayo, Saglit, and the list goes on. Then he added the question kung sino ang manggagamit?
“That statement is grossly inaccurate. Paubaya and Edsa were both composed by Jason (this is public knowledge. Actually Moira also helped in Paubaya), the other songs Ikaw at Ako, Pabilin, Patawad, Kumpas, Babalik Sayo, Patawad, Kumpas were composed by both by Moira and Jason (Moira even gave a bigger contribution to some of those songs). So as far as these songs are concerned, walang gamitan. Tawag diyan collaboration.
Baka Bet Mo: Vice Ganda sinupalpal ang netizen na sinabing susunod na siya kay Moira na makikipaghiwalay
“And collaborating with one another does not make Moira any less of a powerhouse songwriter. Saglit is composed solely by Moira not to mention the entire Malaya album which includes the mega hits Malaya, Tagu-Taguan, Take her to the Moon and Tagpuan.
“It is also worth noting that her debut album is what jumpstarted Moira’s career and put her on the map.
“With that in mind, I would also like to add that in the almost 20 years I’ve known Moira, she would never need the service of a Ghostwriter for her songs/Compositions (which this other person is claiming na tumawad pa daw si Moira to the tune of 20k). Masyado genius si Moira to need that,” pahayag ni Jeff.
Patuloy pa nito, “Why would she pay when she is more than capable of doing it herself. Hindi pa siya sikat, sumusuka ng Songs after Songs si Moira. Doon sa nag sabi nun – are you implying na mas magaling kang songwriter kaysa sa kanya?
“Stop invalidating the work of a hardworking woman. She does not deserve this,” dugtong pa ng Cornerstone official.
Samantala, ang dating kaibigan ni Moira na nagngangalang Lolito Go ay nagsabing nagkakilala sila ng singer-songwriter sa Himig Handog 2017.
Parte ng post ni Lolito Go, “Moira used to be a friend to me. Absentee ninang ni Ludwig. She was proxied by her whole family nu’ng binyag. We were from the same city–Olongapo. But we only got to know more about each other during the grand finals of Himig Handog 2017, kung saan naging grand winner ang kantang Titibo-tibo, na personal song namin ni Libertine.
“Doon na rin namin nakilala si Jason at iba pang malapit sa buhay nila. After Titibo-tibo, nagkaroon pa kami ng ilang song collaborations ni Moira.
“The most recent was the song for presidential bet Leni Robredo. Mind you, I was not paid a single penny for the songs I wrote. There was an instance pa nga na I was not even included in the credits sa Spotify. Kung hindi ko pa pinuna, hindi nya pa ire-rectify. (Rhyme intended),” sabi pa niya.
