Charice’s Loyalty Questioned

Charice cancelled her GMA-7 taping for a Christmas Special due to an stomach illness. But then a few days after the supposed taping, Charice performed at the Christmas in Rockefeller concert in New York and has stayed on for more Christmas concerts with singers such as Justin Bieber, Adam Lambert, and Jesse McCartney around the U.S. She was even seen performing in crutches, which means that even a limp doesn’t stop her from attending to her commitments.

The singing sensation’s no-show at GMA-7’s taping has become an issue on TV5’s Sunday celebrity talk show, “Paparazzi,” last December 12. Hosts Mo Twister, Ruffa, Gutierrez, and Cristy Fermin even hinted that perhaps Charice only used the stomach illness as an alibi to cancel her Christmas Special on GMA-7, because ABS-CBN allegedly questioned Charice’s sense of loyalty.

Charice started her singing career on ABS-CBN’s Little Big Star and has remained in the network until she was discovered on YouTube.

But why give a nod to GMA-7’s Christmas Special in the first place? Was it the manager who okayed the said special? Also, isn’t it possible to cancel it politely without using an illness as an excuse then later be seen so healthy and eventually in crutches?

It is also possible that Charice’s team in the U.S. made the stomach illness excuse so the singer could stay longer in the U.S. for the string of Christmas concerts. Great exposure, I agree, especially since it’s where their target market is. But they should have seen that coming.

Or is there bad communication between Charice’s U.S. management team and the local one?

Just asking.
