NGARAG at pagod man sa last shooting day ng Maid in Malacañang, hindi pinalampas ni Ruffa Gutierrez ang tweet ni dating Comelec commissioner Rowena Guanzon kahapon tungkol sa diumano’y isyu ng pagpapalayas at ’di pagpapasweldo sa dalawang katulong.

Minention ni Guanzon ang aktres sa tweet na: Ms Ruffa Gutierrez is it true? My friend has to rescue two household helpers who were thrown out of a first class village by their employers without paying their salaries. Where is your compassion?”

Paglilinaw ni Ruffa, “Hello Ms. Guanzon, No it’s not true. There was a situation at home while I was shooting on the set of Maid In Malacañang, so my staff had to call security to make sure my children were safe.

“Nang-aaway po sila sa ibang mga kasamahan sa bahay ng wala po ako. They were demanding to leave the house, which I said they were able to do AFTER I returned home from work, so I could talk to them before they leave.

“Let me make it clear po: I did NOT fire anyone. They wanted to leave on their own accord. I have rarely been home shooting everyday, all day, all night for #MAIDinMALACANANG — You should watch it BTW. You’re gonna love it.”

Samantala, college degree holder na si Ruffa.

Yes, graduate na siya sa kursong Bachelor of Arts major in Communication Arts sa Philippine Women’s University Manila.

Sa Instagram post ng aktres, nakasaad na face to face ang graduation nila sa September 1.

Kahit may angking talino si Ruffa, minabuti pa rin niyang magtapos ng kolehiyo kahit may dalawa na siyang anak.

Thanks to Herbert Bautista, na nagpayo sa kanyang tapusin ang pag-aaral.

“To God be the glory,” bahagi ng caption ni Ruffa sa kanyang Instagram photo.

Congratulations, Ruffa!

TIRSO, ’DI PA KUMPLETO ANG PAPEL

KUKUMPLETUHIN muna ni Tirso Criz III ang mga dokumentong kailangan niyang ibigay upang tuluyan na siyang makaupo bilang bagong Chairperson ng Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) kapalit ni Liza Diño.

Sa ngayon, nasa holdover capacity si Dino, ayon sa partner niyang si Ice Seguerra, dahil kailangang tapusin pa ang lahat ng kailangan sa FDCP bago bumitiw.

Sa totoo lang, hindi lang ang FDCP ang may bagong pinuno. Itinalaga rin bilang chairman ng MTRCB si Lala Sotto, anak ni Speaker Tito Sotto, na naging konsehal sa Quezon City at chief of staff niya.

Pinalitan naman ni Rene Ecalante si Nick Lizaso sa National Commission of Culture and Arts (NCCA).

Mabuhay at nawa’y maging maunlad na ang movie at TV pati na ang ating kultura.
