Heart Evangelista explains relationship with Manila Genesis Entertainment

Posted by eds on 05:27


After signing a two-year exclusive contract with GMA Network last April 23, people were surprised that Heart Evangelista was represented by her father Mr. Reynaldo Ongpauco and Annabelle Rama.

What happened with Manila Genesis Manila Entertainment, which was known to have been managing her career during the last part of her stay in ABS-CBN?

In a previous article published in PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), Heart said that she is now co-managed by her parents and Annabelle Rama. She also clarified that after her parents decided to sign a contract with GMA-7, she informed Mr. Johnny Manahan of Star Magic and Angeli Pangilinan of Genesis about it.

To further explain about her relationship with Genesis, Heart was interviewed by StarTalk during the Nestea Beach Volleyball event in Boracay.

Heart said, "Wala naman akong contract [with Genesis]. They were just so nice to help me at the time that I needed people by my side. And that's why now, kaya hindi nila ako pinapirma ng kontrata dahil alam nila na dadating yung time na magbabati kami ng parents ko, and yung parents ko naman yung nagha-handle ng career ko ever since din."

StarTalk then asked, "Bakit hindi Genesis ang nag-represent sa 'yo?"

Heart answered, "You know, I haven't really thought of that but it's because with my dad, parang close siya kay Tita Annabelle, siguro because magbarkada sila ever since dati, noong dalaga pa si Tita Annabelle. So parang mas makakaano siguro, ewan ko, siguro yung rapport nila siguro iba kaya ganun."

In connection to her relationship with Genesis, rumors also came out saying that Angeli handled Heart's bank account while she was still under her managerial team.

"You know, with Genesis, we work as a team," the young actress defended. "I don't want anybody to think really bad about Genesis. They've handled my career the best that they could. They did everything for me.

"For me, people will say whatever they wanna say, ang importante kasi kami ni Tita Angeli, okay kami. Yun lang ang importante doon, so I don't want to put malice to Tita Angeli because she did a good job, she took care of me very well. And I'm very grateful for that."

Again, Heart was asked if Angeli was holding her bank account before. Heart indirectly answered, "She helped me manage my [finances] kasi bata ako, e, baka saan ko lang magastos. Hindi sa hawak niya at wala akong say. No. She help me decide with, you know, big things, like kung saan ko i-invest."

TRANSFER CAUSED A RIFT. In an interview with PEP, Heart related that when she told Angeli about her transfer, "Tita Angeli is happy sa decision ng parents ko, but she will be still there to guide me spiritually." (Click here to read full article)

However, in yesterday's (April 26) column of Jun Nardo in Abante with the headline "Angeli Pangilinan, galit na galit kay Heart Evangelista," this contradicted Heart's statement.

According to the said article, there is a crrent friction between Angeli and ex-members of Professional Artists Managers, Inc. (PAMI)—particularly with Shirley Kuan, an ex-member of PAMI and former manager of Heart— due to a heated exchange of text messages.

The article read: "We need not publish yung text ni Angeli kay Heart na ipinadala kay Shirley dahil matalim ang laman. Nabanggit kasi niya sa text si Shirley na nagulat sa akusa­yon sa kanya. Sumagot sa text si Shirley pero through PAMI president June Rufino. Matalim din ang tugon niya pero ewan kung ipo-forward ito ni June kay Angeli, huh!

"Reading bet­ween the lines, nagalit si Angeli sa paglipat ni Heart, pati na sa mga tao sa likod ng pag­lipat nito. Feeling ni Angeli, na­bastos siya sa nangyari lalo na nga't may blind item pa siyang nabasa na lubhang ikinasama niya ng loob.

"Ethics ang ipinaglalaban ni Angeli sa ginawa ni Heart, her parents at iba pang involved sa paglipat niya. Heto ang part ng text niyang [Angeli] apparently ay ikinasama niya [Shirley] ng loob. ‘What your (Heart) parents did to Genesis and ABS-CBN will go down as the lowest of ethics in order to strike a good deal.'"

The article said that Shirley felt that she was defamed so she will take action with regards to Angeli's accusations about her. Source
