GMA NETWORK ADMITS 4TH QUARTER REVENUES ARE STILL BAD!

The television station posted lower spending from its major advertisers, mainly multinational companies that were affected by the economic crisis in the US and Europe.

“Fourth quarter was bad, just like the third quarter. We were hoping in the third quarter that we would recover in the fourth but it did not happen,” Gozon said.

He said GMA Network just booked close to P1 billion worth of revenues in November, lower than last year’s over P1 billion. He said the company was still expecting revenues of less than P1 billion in December, a traditonally strong month.

“We were strong in the first half. I thought it will continue but something happened. Major advertisers reduced their spending. There is nothing wrong with our ratings, it is really the money available for advertisements,” Gozon said.

RHIAN RAMOS SPEAKS UP! BUT FAILS TO ADMIT ACCUSATIONS ON ABORTION!

Sa unang pagkakataon ay nagsalita na si Rhian Ramos kaugnay ng kontrobersiya sa pagitan nila ng dating boyfriend na si Mo Twister.

Sa one-on-one interview ni Pia Guanio kay Rhian—na ipinalabas sa 24 Oras ngayong gabi, December 7—isiniwalat ng young actress ang kanyang saloobin sa naging relasyon nila ni Mo at sa alegasyong ipina-abort diumano niya ang kanilang anak.

Sa kabuuan ng panayam ni Pia kay Rhian, na nakasuot ng long sleeve na blouse at walang make-up, bakas sa mukha ng aktres ang pagkabalisa.

Ilang beses din napaiyak si Rhian habang kinakausap siya ni Pia.

PIOLO: HINDI AKO BAKLA!!

UNTIL now ay wala pa ring humpay ang usapan tungkol sa break-up nina KC Concepcion at Piolo Pascual. Tila natabunan na nito ang pag-usad ng kaso  sa pagkamatay ni Ramgen Revilla. Sa pag-amin ni KC na hiwalay na sila ni Piolo, nabuhay muli ang gender issue sa actor.

Nakausap namin si Boy Abunda sa bagong bukas na restaurant ng kanyang kaibigan na si Boy So, ang Sir Boy Republique sa may Panay Avenue, tungkol sa resulta ng ginawa niyang explosive interview sa kapwa niya host sa The Buzz na si KC. Hindi nais ni Kuya Boy ang magbigay ng sarili niyang opinyon sa mga isiniwalat ni KC. Maging sa isyu kung dapat ba o hindi magsalita rin ni Piolo sa hiwalayan nila ni KC.

“Hindi ko alam,” bungad ni Kuya Boy. “Hindi ko masasagot ‘yan kasi ako ang nag-interbyu kay KC. At hindi ko rin masasagot ‘yan dahil interviewer ako. I would wish that he speaks. Kung hindi man sa akin magpa-intebryu, sa ibang interviewer, okey  lang. I mean, hindi lang naman ako ang nag-iinterbyu. And it’s not my call kung sa akin siya magpa-intebryu. Kung sa akin, fine. Kung hindi ako, okey lang din.’

Matatandaan na si Kuya Boy din noon sa The Buzz ang nag-interbyu kay Piolo kung saan diretsahan niyang tinanong ang aktor kung bakla ba siya. Sinagot din naman ‘yun ni Piolo na hindi siya bakla.
