"transFeRmeRs"- by manila bulletin columnist Joey de Leon

Message: joey de leon is one wise man! that's why i will always be a kapuso..at heart!you would think that kris aquino(who i also think is wise) had the ball in her court, so to speak, but joey de leon got the last laugh.


A little more than a week ago, I read somewhere in this paper that someone(Kris Aquino) in the Kapamilya network remarked that, "Ang kapamilya hindi napapalitan, pero ang puso pwedeng i-transplant," obviously referring to the well-publicized and quite controversial transfer of a former known kapuso to their side (Angel Locsin).

Well, maybe I thought, they even got an ovation for that statement from their audience and followers. And maybe too, the person who thought of it found the idea cute and brilliant. Hmmm... but you know, throughout history, there havebeen lines spoken, and even by thegreatest of men, which when carefullyexamined closely, are silly and untrue.

Take for instance 'You can't have your cake and eat it, too.' And, 'the best things in life are free.' Not quite true, right? Yung first one pwede siguro if you're a big star in television andyou have a lot of what you call in thebusiness exchange deals.

Or you're a young goddess of a woman and you have a filthy rich provider who islike a faucet hot and cold. But all these have a "kapalit," kaya nga exchange deal, eh. In the first one, thebig star will have to plug always. And in the second one, the sexy goddess will always be plugged.
Transferring networks, or even working for some of these TV stations at the same time ("grossing the net"or"inter-networking") is not new to me.Remember, I belong to the only daily show in Philippine TV history, or maybethe world, which have aired in three different major networks; surviving and outlasting five presidents... and still counting! Yes, we are the KONTOT (KingsOf Network Transfers On Television)! We are the Transfermers!
That is why this issue about this angel from heaven, I mean seven, who transferred to you know where, is the least of anxieties. I really just findtheir statement so untrue and unfair,and I feel I need to react (and besides,wala akong article for this week). O,eto natatagalugin ko na para mas maydating at may diin. At saka tutal Tagalog din naman yung binitiwang mga salita eh. Ready?
Maganda lang siguro pakinggan yung mga sinabi n'yo, pero ikinalulungkot ko,mali eh. Para bang isang babaeng nagparetoke . mukha lang maganda, pero hindi totoo.

Una, pwede bang magharap kayo sa akin ng tao na nagpa-transplant ng puso na nagtagal ang buhay?! Pwede talaga, pero pwede bang magtagal?

Pangalawa, lalo na sa panahon ngayon,ang daling magpalit ng pamilya ng mga tao. Yung iba nga may pamilya dito, maypamilya duon eh. Sa showbiz na lang ilan sa inyo at sa atin ang nagpalit na ngpamilya?

Sa totoo lang, ito ang mas tumpak ang puso natin ay mahirap palitan, pero ang pamilya pwede at pwede pang dagdagan.

At eto pa ang isang dumadagundong na katotohanan : pwede tayong mabuhay nangwalang pamilya, pero hindi tayo pwedeng mabuhay ng walang puso.
