Update on the Anaballe Rama, Richard Gutierrez and PEP Saga





There have been several developments on the issue involving Anabelle Rama, Richard Gutierrez and PEP. Anabelle Rama has filed a P25 M lawsuit for grave slander against Wilma Galvante. Richard Gutierrez has also filed a P25 M libel suit against PEP for uploading an article about an alleged scuffle involving Richard Gutierrez and Michael Flores.

Wow, if Anabelle loses in her suit against Wilma Galvante, she will be P8 M poorer. However, she and her family would be P50 M richer if they win the lawsuits against Wilma Galvante and PEP. I wish a judge would immediately reject these ridiculous, multi-million lawsuits for the income-generating schemes that they are.

The Gutierrez family has also issued a cease-and-desist letter demanding that PEP immediately stop from writing articles about her main money maker, Richard Gutierrez. They read PEP and saw from the comments from PEPsters that public sympathy is not on their side. It is all Anabelle Rama's doing. There are malicious commenters, trolls they are called, but in general PEPsters are an intelligent bunch who see through Anabelle Rama's bullshit.

If Gutierrezes somehow succeed in shutting down PEP, those commenters will find a new forum. You want to stop a huge section of the Internet community from commenting against Richard Gutierrez? Good luck with that. Ask Edu Manzano if he has made any progress in shutting down the online downloading of movies, videos over at P2P portals.

When I see Anabelle Rama on TV, I have both hands up in front of me with the middle fingers extended. She's probably coming from the right place in her desire to protect her money makers, but she, her big mouth and her bullshit are the one turning the public away from Richard Gutierrez.

The Gutierrezes are all celebrities, constantly in the public eye. In my mind, that makes them fair game. If they don't want negative stories and comments to be attributed to them, then they should move out to Antarctica and watch while the glaciers melt. I think the only people who will miss them are showbiz folks who have received gifts and money from them at one time or another, and of course the Gutierrez family's very own brown noser, Jun Lalin.

I watched Anabelle Rama being interviewed on Showbiz Central, and immediately I noticed that something was amiss. It took me a while to figure out that she is not her usual loud and obnoxious self, possibly upon the advise of her lawyers to gain public sympathy. It was a tamer Anabelle Rama, but she lets out acerbic words aimed at PEP's lawyer, who was earlier interviewed on StarTalk, once in a while. Well, has any of us seen a leopard change its spots? As long as Anabelle remains a palengkera, bungagera, pala-away, mukhang pera, then all is right in the universe. An epiphany, even a religious one, will not turn Anabelle Rama into a saint, I don't think.

I just had a thought. If Richard Gutierrez is suing PEP because of a noble obligation to fight for the rights of other actors who have been victims of false journalism, or if he just wants to make a point, why doesn't he sue for P1, or better yet announce that the money will be given to charity? It's not unheard of, but probably first in the Philippines.
