Gozon asserted that he has full trust in the current management team of the Kapuso channel. “Our people are the best in the industry,” he said. “They’re not only tried; they are tested. I would think twice before replacing any of them.”
Did the gossip cause undue tension among Kapuso execs?
Lilybeth Rasonable, officer-in-charge of Entertainment TV, quipped: “We’re always tense in GMA 7. We’re used to pressure. We have no time to be bothered about merger rumors.”
Did the gossip cause undue tension among Kapuso execs?
Lilybeth Rasonable, officer-in-charge of Entertainment TV, quipped: “We’re always tense in GMA 7. We’re used to pressure. We have no time to be bothered about merger rumors.”
Gozon owned up, gleefully: “I’m the one pressuring them.”
“The assurance from our boss was more than enough for us,” Rasonable added.
Throughout the press conference, which was originally meant to highlight the network’s new shows for the second quarter of the year, the specter of the merger rumor hovered in the room.
Gozon also tackled concerns about his daughter Annette Gozon-Abrogar’s future, should the network ownership change. “My daughter was valedictorian in the University of the Philippines College of Law. She finished masters of law in Harvard. She’s a good lawyer. It’s just that she likes her work here.” Abrogar is president of GMA Films.
He likewise addressed the intrigue surrounding former Kapuso executive Wilma Galvante’s supposed transfer to TV5 as consultant, starting with the talent search “Artista Academy.”
Gozon related: “Wilma wrote me an e-mail telling me about her plans. She clarified her role in the new show. I’ve known Wilma for a long time. She will not do anything against GMA 7. We had a good parting.”
How will the Kapuso execs make sure their shows remain competitive and completely different from the Kapatid lineup? After all, Galvante played a key role in creating the Kapuso brand and undoubtedly left her mark on its shows.
Specifically, observers note that TV5’s “Artista Academy” may be too similar to GMA 7’s “Protégé.”
Also, GMA 7 has new primetime and afternoon soap operas: “Luna Blanca,” “Makapiling Kang Muli,” “One True Love,” “Kasalanan Bang Ibigin Ka,” “Faithfully,” “Together Forever.” Will these shows bear Galvante’s stamp?
No recipe
Rasonable said there’s no reason to fret: “Even before (when Galvante was senior vice president for Entertainment TV), although she gave her input, we ran the shows.”
Darling de Jesus, assistant vice president of Entertainment, concurred: “In any case, there’s no trademark or recipe in conceptualizing shows.”
Added De Jesus: “When we create shows, our priority is how best to entertain the audience.”
