richardgutz @sarahlahbati There's a lot of things in my life that I'm
very grateful for ,thankful for, one of them is that I'm part of Gma
Network, another is that I'm not part of Gma Artist Center.

I saw the episode of Hot tv yesterday and I cried while watching how Gma
made a one sided story about what's happening... It was clearly to
sabotage me and to make them look clean. I was never asked or contacted
by Hot TV about my side of the story. I never wanted to do this.. it's
not my character to tweet all of this, but people need to know the
truth, pinalaki ako ng parents ko ng mabuti, hindi para apihin ng
ganito, and to always stand by what's true. So here's the complete
truth...
ICONS is a talent management company that has nothing to do with Gma
Network, it's not a subsidiary company of Gma Artist Center... there had
been rumors for a long time that they work under the table for Gma
artist center.
Attorney Felipe Gozon our big boss, who I only have good words for,
wanted to get to the bottom of this mess but didn't have proper evidence
It became almost like a myth in the network. One day my mother & I
was asked by Mrs. Annette Gozon Abrogar & Arsi Baltazar(artist
center.. head executives) to have a meeting with them regarding my
career.
When I arrived at our meeting place in Fridays Tomas Morato... I was
shocked because they were convincing me to sign a contract w/ ICONS
talent management that is headed by Mr. Bebong Munoz & Andrew Dee.
They promised me projects and endorsements, I don't know why two top
executives of the Artist Center wanted me to sign with another
management company and get another 15% from my salary. After giving us a
copy of the contract, my mother and I said that we will think about the
offer & we will also discuss it with my dad. My family declined the
offer because we didn't know Bebong Munoz & Andrew Dee, plus the
deduction of 40 percent was too steep. Mrs. Anette Gozon Abrogar and
Arsi Baltazar told me that a lot of artists from Gma Artist Center
already signed with the ICONS company and they will be prioritized so I
should do the same.
This is the reason why I signed a contract w/ Royal Artist (tita
Annabelle Rama) dahil alam ko na Pwede mag pa co-manage w/ a different
company ang artists ng GMA. Because of double bookings & a messed up
schedule & other unsolved issues, I needed proper management &
protection w/ my career, that's why I asked for tita Annabelle's help.
After a few days I was asked by Gma to void my contract with Tita
Annabelle or else they will file a lawsuit against me. So why is it that
ICONS management can co-manage artists? Why are they protected by Mrs.
Annette Gozon Abrogar and Arsi Baltazar even if they get 40percent from
artists salary?
Yung walk out issue ko & diffrent blind items ginawa lang nila para
mawala ang focus sa mas malaking problema, ang under the table deals ng
ICONS with Gma Artist Center. I was offered by the daughter of the
Network owner to join a company that does under the table deals in Gma
and subtract 40 percent from my salary. THERE IS UNFAIR TREATMENT WITH
NON ICONS ARTIST LIKE ME.
If Gma is releasing all this bad publicity about me and saying that I
have bad behavior then why don't they release me and void my contract? I
ask Gma Artist Center now to void my contract with them because I will
not have a peaceful and progressive working environment anymore. They
have a messed up system and I hope all the underground deals will be
cleaned soon.
