IPINAHIHINTO ng talent management ni Mario Maurer ang paggamit ni Kakai Bautista sa Thai actor.
Sa demand letter ng legal counsel ng Kwaonhar Nine Nine Co., Ltd., ang kompanyang nagma-manage ng career ni Mario, ipinatitigil nito ang paggamit ng komedyana sa pangalan ni Mario sa kanyang mga interview.
Lagi raw binabanggit ni Kakai sa mga interbyu niya na close sila ni Mario at kung ano-ano pang impormasyon na anila’y walang katotohanan.
Ayon pa sa demand letter, sa paggamit ng pangalan ni Mario, nae-exploit ang pangalan, imahe at reputasyon ng actor.
Narito ang ilang bahagi ng demand letter na ipinadala sa management ni Kakai, ang Artist Gallery Management
Subject: Demanding to Cease, Desist and Refrain from further use and reference of the name of Mario Maurer.
“Upon consultation with our client, we would like to confirm that all statements and claims made by Catherine ‘Kakai Bautista’ regarding her claims of proximity to Mario Maurer are hereby DENIED as false and untrue.
“By so using the name of our talent, Catherine ‘Kakai’ Bautista is improperly exploiting the name, image and reputation of Mario Maurer and his manager, and may be violating existing laws of the Republic of the Philippines and the Kingdom of Thailand.
”Should you fail to confirm to us in writing that you have complied and/or will comply with the above demand to cease, desist and refrain under this letter hereof, our talent, Kwaonhar and its staffs will have no other alternative but to pursue (without any further notice to you) formal claims against your talent to protect his rights to the broadest extent.
“If you fail to comply with the foregoing, Kwaonhar reserves all of its legitimate right to claim for other damages and expenses incurred as a result of this matter. You should govern your contracted talent accordingly and responsibly.”
Wala pang tugon ang management ni Kakai sa demand letter na ito ng kampo ni Mario. Nag-message at tinawagan namin ang manager ni Kakai na si Freddie Bautista, pero wala pa kaming tugon na nakuha. Sakaling maglabas na ng official statement ang kampo ni Kakai, agad naming ilalathala.
Nagkasama sina Kakai at Mario sa pelikulang Suddenly It’s Magic noong 2012 na pinagbidahan ng Thai superstar at ni Erich Gonzales.
