WE have been hearing on how the Kapuso network handles the exposures of its talents. It has been reported that the network has served memo to its talents refraining them from granting interviews and/or appearing as guest on TV 5. How true?

One of the alleged memo’s casualties is Paolo Contis, the lead star of Midnight DJ on TV 5. Accordingly, Paolo has been asked to finish his stint in said show. But the actor begged from his home studio to have a graceful exit by finishing the first season.

Undeniably, GMA is the country’s leading network. So, its executives should be thankful that they have reached this far. And they owe it to the viewing public.

ABS-CBN, on the other hand, has been supportive of the newly-revived network by allowing some of its lesser-known talents to appear in the shows of the latter. In fact, TV 5 has been tagged as an extension of the Kapamilya network. Sa ipinapakitang suporta nito sa TV5, tinatrato nito na isa itong kapamilya sa TV industry. Sana tuluy-tuloy ang ganitong mentalidad para mas maging healthy ang competition.

It has been my dream to see the day when stars cross channel just like the old days. Now, it has become boring seeing the same faces in one channel from sunrise to sundown.

As it is, TV5 is now the David among the two Goliaths in the TV industry. But remember, David defeated Goliath. The Berlin Wall collapsed. So had the Twin Towers. Siguro naman kahit gaano katayog ang isang bagay, babagsak at babagsak rin ito.

Kailan kaya talaga nating mapapatunayan na kapamilya at kapuso ng ABS-CBN at GMA ang isa’t-isa maging ang buong industriya ng telebisyon? Just asking…
