Scams in the local entertainment
How to spot scammers in the acting business? Let me provide you some tips.
- Some productions collects payment. Just make sure you get official receipts the first time you pay. If not, that's a red flag. A legitimate acting workshop must be a business registered and that any money you pay should be issued an official receipts.
- Others don't ask you to pay for anything and that's a pro-bono. It means there's no talent fee. That's fine for the sake of exposure to the public viewing. May it be on YouTube or Facebook. Just go for this. Change it to your experience.
- Make sure that the production company you're thinking or planning to join has connections with people who are already in the industry. It is a must that the company should be able to produce a good set of setcards for your with a VTR and that you have a copy of these.
- Since I have been for over a year, make sure that they good camera not smartphones when shooting a scene for your project. Branded camera adds legitamcy of the production.
- Regardless of gender or sex, if a talent scouts ask you to send nude photos, that's a no-no.

Out sight, out of mind
Give yourself permission to feel sad. It's normal and healthy to grieve the loss of a relationship or a situation that mattered to you. Don't suppress your emotions or judge yourself for having them. Instead, acknowledge what you feel and find healthy ways to express it, such as writing, talking, or crying.
Reflect on the relationship realistically. Don't idealize the past or dwell on the negative aspects. Try to see the relationship as it was, with its strengths and weaknesses, and learn from the experience. Think about what you gained from it, what you learned about yourself and others, and what you want in the future².
Get closure by distancing yourself from your ex. If you're trying to move on from a romantic breakup, it's important to cut off contact with your ex until you're healed. This means unfollowing them on social media, deleting their number, and avoiding places where you might run into them. This will help you break the emotional attachment and focus on yourself¹.
Identify lessons you've learned that you can use in future relationships. Every relationship teaches us something valuable, even if it ends badly. Think about what you discovered about your needs, preferences, boundaries, and communication style. Use this knowledge to improve your relationship with yourself and others².
Keep yourself busy and do things you enjoy. Don't let your life revolve around your past. Find activities that make you happy and fulfilled, such as hobbies, sports, volunteering, or learning something new. These will help you boost your mood, distract yourself from negative thoughts, and build your confidence³.
Practice self-care and spend plenty of time with friends. Moving on can be stressful and exhausting, so make sure you take good care of yourself physically and mentally. Eat well, sleep enough, exercise regularly, and relax often. Surround yourself with supportive people who love you and make you laugh. Don't isolate yourself or bottle up your feelings³.

If tomorrow never comes, vlogs and more...
Last July 2022, after resigning my employment with Sutherland, I decided to explore the world of entertainment. So I did attend basic acting workship in Makati City under a certain production.
I also luckily got one of the casts of If tomorrow never comes, a BL series under the direction of DCTV production based in San Rita, Pampanga.We did tapings almost every weekend to make sure we have enough stories to tell to the audience. Most of the audiences are outside the Philippines.
Fast forward to August 2022, I met new people at another production for almost a month under A S production. Where I starred one of the shows.
With the Social Media house, KSMBPI in Quezon City, I was luckily being a member of it, until something fishy happened in November 30, 2022 during a show.
In December 2022, I meet new people who do vlogs and shorts on Facebook under Papatiks Entertainment. I got two-year contract but immediately abolished for some reason.
If you plan to join showbiz, make sure you're full equip with lots of acting workship and beware of scammers!

Just trying to get connected with old bosses
Last month, I did search for old bosses and colleagues through social media. I messaged them through Facebook. It's really good to know how a former employee like me reaching out to them.
Before I proceed, let me tell you something about this:
- Verify the contract information first;
- Make sure to keep your tone professional and friendly during the interaction;
- Remind them of your past work history. Doing so, will rekindle new opportunities'
- I am sure you did some accomplishments, mention it anyway since you work together;
- Make it personal;
- If you can, setup a meeting.

Call me by my name
When I started by new journey to the recruitment processing industry, I meet new people who are of the same interest - speaking Spanish! I met two young ladies who, like me, are new to this industry.
Filipino culture at work seems like an extended family where instead of calling a fellow colleague by name, somehow calling that colleague by other name. For example, older women are called mother, older men fathers and the like.
When I was in working in Ortigas Center, we call one of our colleagues, daddy. May he rest in peace! Now, I am working in Eastwood, these two young ladies call me mama. Which I already inform not to call me such but someone insists.
Personally, call me by my name is enough for me. Simply Gerry. Callling me mama, is something that I will never be, I cannot be, replace your mother.
The word mamang is a sacred word to me. I have only one mother in the world! Happy mother's day to all mothers in the universe!

It's time to verify
- Firstly, check the source. Is it a reliable one? If you are unsure about the source, cross-check with other credible sources.
- Secondly, look for supporting evidence or quotes related to the article that will authenticate its claims. Thirdly, analyze the writing style - if it is filled with sensational phrases or extreme views, approach with caution.
- Lastly, take some time to research before sharing an article on your own social media feeds - this way you can help promote authentic and genuine news stories instead of fake ones!

Big failures of EDSA revolution
The EDSA People Power Revolution of 1986 was a peaceful mass demonstration in the Philippines that resulted in the downfall of President Ferdinand Marcos and the rise of Corazon Aquino as President. However, the revolution failed to bring about significant changes in the country's political and economic systems.
One reason for the failure of the EDSA People Power Revolution was the lack of a clear plan for post-revolutionary governance. The Aquino administration had difficulty maintaining unity among the diverse groups that had participated in the revolution, and there was a lack of consensus on what the new government should do.
Another reason for the failure of the EDSA People Power Revolution was the lack of political will to implement real change. Many members of the Aquino administration were former Marcos supporters, and they were not committed to fundamentally changing the systems of corruption and patronage that had been in place under Marcos.
Additionally, the failure of the EDSA People Power Revolution was a result of the lack of effective leadership. The Aquino administration was plagued by infighting, political maneuvering, and a lack of decisive action, which hindered its ability to effectively govern the country.
Overall, the EDSA People Power Revolution of 1986 was a momentous event in Philippine history, but it ultimately failed to bring about the lasting change that many Filipinos had hoped for.

Let's change the constitution
The Philippines has a presidential, unitary, and constitutional republic with a multi-party system. The 1987 Philippine Constitution, the country's current constitution, can be amended through a process called "Constitutional amendment" or "Charter change" (Cha-cha). The process of amending the constitution involves several steps, including proposal, deliberation, and ratification.
The Constitution can be amended by Congress through a vote of three-fourths of all its members, or through a Constitutional Convention called for the purpose, or through people's initiative. The proposed changes must also be ratified by a majority of the votes cast in a plebiscite. The process of amending the constitution is often a contentious issue in the Philippines, with different political groups having varying opinions on the need and the specifics of any proposed changes.
It is long overdue to change the constitution which put the country in its status quo. It is high time to reform. If not now, when? That's the question.
Benefits of reforming the 1987 constitution of the Philippines
- Improved governance: A reformed constitution would provide a clearer and more efficient system of governance, ensuring that public officials are held accountable for their actions and that the rights of citizens are protected.
- Economic growth: A reformed constitution would help to create a more stable and predictable economic environment, encouraging investment and promoting economic growth.
- Better representation: A reformed constitution would ensure that all citizens are represented in government and that their voices are heard in the political process.
- Increased autonomy: A reformed constitution would give more power to local governments, allowing them to make decisions that are best for their communities.
- Improved social services: A reformed constitution would provide for better access to education, healthcare, and other social services for all citizens, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
- Enhanced human rights: A reformed constitution would ensure that the rights of all citizens, including minority groups, are protected and upheld.
- Greater accountability: A reformed constitution would make it easier for citizens to hold public officials accountable for their actions and to hold them to account if they fail to perform their duties.
- More efficient government: A reformed constitution would make the government more efficient by streamlining bureaucratic processes and reducing red tape.
- Stronger democracy: A reformed constitution would help to strengthen democracy by ensuring that citizens have a greater say in how their government operates.
- Improved foreign relations: A reformed constitution would help to improve relations with other countries by providing a stable and predictable political environment.
Only the stupid groups like the Makabayan bloc, fake economist Winnie Monsod among others are against constitution reform. Their solution is "vote wisely" which did not work for over 36 years now.
