Aiko, inireklamo ang kinatay na role; Direk Hernandez, pinanindigang si Aiko ang bida

SHOWING na ang pelikula!

Pero teka lang. Pause muna tayo. May ipinaabot sa aking FB messenger ang bida ng New Generation Heroes na si Aiko Melendez para sa kanyang direktor.

This is an open letter to Anthony Hernandez (Director of the World):

“Forgive me if i had to post this letter online, because, Asian artist agency owned by my Manager Tito Boy Abunda waited for your call, and so did my handler Philip Ababon Rojas, to hear your side about the outcome of the movie regarding my supposed lead role in the movie that never was. It turned out to be a supporting role wc i dont mind at all becoz its an advocacy film. As long as it was clearly understood and agree upon prior to the shoot of The New Generation Heroes movie…I made the same type of film last year with the same production for the world teachers day and encountered no problems at all. 

“When the premiere night of the movie came, as i watched, I couldn’t believe my eyes, a lot of my scenes were butchered… Pls dont get me wrong i dont mind playing supporting roles, lalo na if i was told and if i was asked =ØBÞ Kasi dumating dn ako sa panahon when the likes of Mr Christopher De Leon and Richard Gomez would play then, my leading men. 

“When this was offered to me our director said i was the lead of this movie and will be shot in Korea. Sadly i wasnt happy how my role turned out. We felt deceived, Even my performance highlights in the film were shortened and the entire movie was about Joyce our producer. ok lang naman na supporting role ako to her pero sana it was made clear that i wasnt the lead at all. Because inaalagaan ko dn naman ang mga pelikula na ginagawa ko. Kasi nga mataas ang expectations sa akin when i won an award abroad and here in our country, The pressure is doubled.. 

“Anyways i wish the same success for this movie kasi sa ayaw at sa gusto ko, ako ang binebenta nyo for this movie to help Joyce. ok lang =ØBÞ Atleast if Joyce would make it big im part of her success =ØBÞ ako pa ba? ang dali ko lng pakiusapan, sana lng talaga you were true to your words and walang deceit na ngyari. Word of honor is very important to me bcoz it is the recognition of my right to great respect as an actress and as a person.”

Bukas ang pahinang ito sa ipahahatid na mensahe ni direk Anthony na laging naniniwala sa bukas na palitan ng mga haka-haka at usapan.
Sa kabilang banda, sa susunod na Linggo naman, sa Oktubre 11, si Aiko ang bidang-bida sa Balatkayo.

Kay Aiko iikot ang istorya tungkol sa isang OFW na ang asawa (Polo Ravales) eh, gaya niyang nagtatrabaho rin sa ibang bansa. Magkaka-problema ang anak (James Robert) nilang masasangkot sa isang sex video scandal. At ang asawa naman niya ay magkakaroon ng babae (Nathalie Hart) at siya naman ay mauugnay kay Rico Bareira. Idinirehe ito ni Neal ‘Buboy’ Tan.

Sana maging maayos ang lahat!

(Nakakuha kami ng kasagutan ni Direk Anthony ukol sa reklamong ito ni Aiko. Narito po ang panig ni Direk Hernandez—I was true to my heart na si Ms. Aiko ang bida sa ‘New Generation Heroes’. Noong inalok ko po ang role ni Cora sa kanya, never sumagi sa isip ko na i-deceive or gamitin siya. Kaya nga po nag-push ako na kuhanan ang eksena ni Cora sa Korea, kasi sa kanya po ang may pinakamaganda at importanteng role. Iyong character ni Ms. Aiko bilang Cora, mas meaningful, kasi mas mabigat ‘yung character ni Cora. So, ‘yung value at bigat ng role ni Ms. Aiko, siya talaga ang bida sa movie. Kasi, makikita rito ‘yung teacher na OFW na nagkaroon ng problema sa husband niya at natokhang iyong anak niya. Kaya sa bigat ng role at ‘yung value ng character sa movie, si Ms. Aiko talaga ang bida roon.”—ED)
