PINAG-AARALAN na ng kampo ni Ian Veneracion ang isasagawang “legal action” laban sa writer-director na si Ronaldo Carballo.
Ito ay kaugnay pa rin sa viral post ni Ronaldo na isiniwalat at inireklamo ang kalahating milyong talent fee ng batikang aktor.
Nakakuha ang INQUIRER.net ng exclusive statement mula sa management ni Ian at inihayag nila na malisyoso ang viral post at isa itong pagtatangka upang ipahiya ang aktor sa publiko.
“Rather than verifying the information (on Veneracion’s talent fee), Mr. Carballo appears to have engaged in online behavior that undermines these principles, in an attempt to publicly humiliate our client and our team,” sey sa ipinadalang statement.
Anila, “Considering these developments, we are exploring legal options to address the online defamation by Mr. Carballo.”

Nabanggit din ng management ang “strict policy of confidentiality and transparency” na talaga namang kailangang sundin pagdating sa business negotiations.
Pero nilabag umano ito ni Ronaldo sa kanyang Facebook post noong January 16 matapos akusahan ang aktor na humihingi ng P500,000 talent fee, ayon sa kampo ng aktor.
“In managing our client’s professional engagements, we maintain a strict policy of confidentiality in all business dealings, ensuring transparency and respect both with clients and artists,” dagdag nila.
Sinabi rin ng management na ang mga detalye ng writer-director ay may “inaccuracies” o mali-mali dahil ang reported budget na binanggit sa post ay hindi naaayon sa mga natalakay nila ng kliyente.
“Contrary to the claims, we did not request any additional charges. Our terms were clear, especially regarding the hours required for the event, and at no point did we ask for a solo float,” wika sa pahayag.
Dagdag pa, “For this particular event, our communication was with a friend of the coordinator, adding multiple layers to the negotiation process. This is not the typical direct line of communication we usually have with clients or their immediate representatives.”
Ibinunyag din ng pumunuan ni Ian na ilang beses na nilang sinubukan ang makipag-ugnayan at makipag-usap kay Ronaldo, ngunit hindi siya ma-reach out sa iba’t-ibang klase ng komunikasyon.
“Attempts were made to contact Mr. Carballo directly to correct the misinformation he is spreading; unfortunately, he opted to block us and refuse any means of communication,” sey ng kampo ng aktor.
Maliban sa “online defamation,” ito rin daw ang dahilan kung bakit pinag-aaralan na rin nila ang posibleng legal action laban sa writer-director.

“In our business dealings, we acknowledge that negotiations are a standard practice and are open to discussions with professionals across various fields, be it artists, graphic designers, editors, or others. However, it’s crucial to approach these negotiations with respect and professionalism,” sambit ng management ni Ian.
Paliwanag pa, “The reaction to the rate, whether perceived as too high or too low, should be handled appropriately. Professional rates are set based on a myriad of factors, including experience, expertise, and market standards.”
Ani pa, “It is disheartening when these rates are met with attempts to undervalue the professional’s worth through lowballing.
“We stand firm in respecting the rates set by professionals and encourage others to approach such discussions with fairness and respect.”
