FAMAS nagbigay ng public apology sa senior actress
Nagpaliwanag at humingi na ng dispensa publicly ang FAMAS (Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences) sa veteran actress na si Eva Darren dahil sa unfortunate incident na nangyari sa katatapos na awarding ceremony ng naturang award-giving body Lunes ng gabi sa Manila Hotel.
Sa Facebook post ng anak ni Gng. Eva na si Fernando dela Pena, inireklamo niya ang hindi pagkakasalang sa stage ng kanyang ina para maging presenter gayung pinadalhan ito ng imbitasyon ng organizers.
Ilang oras matapos ang post ni Dela Pena ay naglabas naman ng public apology ang FAMAS sa FB.
“FAMAS would like to express its sincerest apologies to Miss Eva Darren, an icon in Philippine Movie Industry and a professional actress whose career is indubitably worthy of emulation,” simulang pahayag ng award-giving body.
Paliwanag pa ng grupo, “She was part of the program in last night’s Awards Night and was supposed to present Special Citations with Mr. Tirso Cruz III. But considering that we were running a live show, and due to myriads of people present in last night’s festivities, the production team was not able to locate Ms. Darren. This was indeed a setback in the live show and a negligence on the part of the team.”
Nilinaw din ng pamunuan na hindi intentional ang nangyari at labis daw nilang ikinalungkot na nakapagdulot ng sakit kay Eva at sa pamilya nito ang nangyari.
“Rest assured that this was not intentional and purely a misjudgment. The show is being streamed live and needed to be remedied right away. Hence, a replacement for Miss Darren was done last minute.
“We are writing this with a heavy heart especially after hearing that Miss Darren and her family were terribly hurt by this unintentional disregard to her presence and stature.
“We truly value Miss Darren and the rest of the veteran stars present last night true to the Homecoming Concept of the show.
“But as there were brilliant moments to the most star-studded awards night in recent memory, there were also hitches and unfortunate developments in a live show such as this one,” pahayag ng FAMAS.
Para patunayan ang kanilang sinseridad ay binabalak umano ng board na puntahan nang personal si Eva para mag-apologize.
“We understand that an apology alone cannot undo the damage this might have caused Miss Darren but we are committed to make amends and rebuild her trust by a personal visit of the FAMAS Board to honor her stature, if she allows it,” anila.
