ALIW AKO sa opinion ng beteranang manunulat na si Ellen Tordesillas, isang beteranang journalist na ilang dekada na rin sa mundo ng reporting at pagsusulat.
Sa ginawang pagmamayabang ni Tetay kamakailan during her press junket for the film Spiderman 2 kung saan semplang si Andrew Garfield during her interview with the “Ophrah Winfrey of the Philippines” na naganap sa Singapore bago ipinalabas ang pelikula last week.
Ayon kay Ms. Tordesillas: “I’d like to thank Kris Aquino for giving me very good materials for our training of journalists. Nothing beats her interviews with the stars of Spiderman2 for an example of “How not to conduct an interview.”
Sa opinyon ni Ms.Tordesillas: “In an interview, the star is the interviewee. The attention should be on him and the interviewer is just the facilitator, to bring out what can be elicited from him.”
Pero hindi ‘yun ang nangyari sa interview. “There’s a Tagalog word for what Kris did in her interviews with Garfield and Foxx: nagkalat.
“One, she brought her son, Bimby. So improper. So unprofessional. So Kris Aquino.
“Two, she talked a lot about herself – a no-no in interviews.
“She bragged to Garfield that the movie of her son, “My Little Bossings,” beat Spiderman in the box-office in the Philippines. It was neither here nor there. The two movies were not shown at the same time. The gall to compare a Spiderman movie to the inane My Little Bossings. It’s like comparing a painting by Ben Cab to a tarpaulin streamer,” pahayag ni Ms. Tordesillas.
Dagdag pa nito, “Kris Aquino’s conduct was forgivable if she were someone, maybe 15 or 16 years old, who is new in the business. But she is 43 years old and has been in media (she even told Garfield that she is seen on TV mornings and evenings) for years and years.
Pagtatapos ni Ms. Tordesillas sa kanyang opinion sa inasal ni Kris sa naturang press junket: “But thanks Kris. In the next journalists training by VERA Files, I will use the video of your Spiderman 2 interviews with the instruction: “Huwag tularan.” ‘Yun na!
SPEAKING OF Kris, yesterday, Tuesday, maaga akong nagising just before natapos ang Umagang Kay Ganda. Napanood ko ang Kris TV kung saan nag food trip sila ni Carmina Villaroel.
Pero sa bandang huli, nagulat na lang ako sa mga eksena ni Tetay na umiiyak at nagpapahid ng kanyang luha na tila may ini-emote kay Mina na basa ko sa Queen of All Media ay may isyu na naman tungkol sa dinaraanang sakripisyo at hirap ng kanyang buhay pag-ibig.
Sa ilang panahon na nasusundan namin kahit papaano ang lovelife ni Tetay, naaawa kami sa sitwasyon niya. She has all the riches and power kung ano man ang p’wedeng bilhin o iutos niya dahil sa kanyang estado pero ang pag-ibig na hinahanap niya ay tila mailap at hind talaga mapasakanya.
I pity Kris. Kahit minsan, kahit maikling panahon man lang, she deserves to be happy.
