"And then, uunahan niya [Gina] ako, magbibigay na naman siya ng idea sa mga tao na, 'Uy, 'yan si Snooky, baka nakakalimutan ninyo, pagong 'yan, mali-late 'yan.' And I didn't get the point, why? Bakit kailangan pa niyang ipaalala sa ating lahat? It's so painful to me. It's not funny. Siguro sa ibang tao nakakatawa, pero sa akin na... Dun ako naapektuhan ng career ko, dun ako nasira. Ngayon, nagbabagong-buhay... Kumbaga, masakit sa akin yung joke na yun. Hindi siya funny," says Snooky Serna about a joke that Gina Alajar (inset) made during the story conference of their film Dukot.

‘I AM SORRY’ by Mario Bautista sa People's Journal

GINA Alajar says she didn’t mean to offend Snooky Serna during the presscon of “Dukot Desaparecidos” when she warned Cookie not to be late and to transfer the mike to the star seated next to her since she’s already been talking on the microphone for a very long time.

“I didn’t know she’ll take it badly so kapag nagkita kami sa shooting ng ‘Dukot’, magso-sorry ako sa kanya,” she says. “Actually, na-shock din ako nang mabasa ko na sa mga dyaryo na sumama ang loob niya sa’kin. Ginagawa ko raw siyang katatawanan at hiniya ko siya dahil binabalik ko ang days na sinasabing pagong siya. Wala akong ganung intention, honest. So, the next time I see her, I’d say sorry agad para matapos na. Marami kaming eksena together in ‘Dukot’ dahil magkasama kaming hahanap sa dinukot kong anak, Iza Calzado, kaya dapat, maganda at walang strain sa relationship namin nang makapagtrabaho kami nang maayos.”

Maangas talaga si Salome, Feeling niya napa-kahusay niya.

saan ang link ng SNN?

sus, nakakainis si gina alajar. walang kuwenta ang kanyang defensa. bastos talaga. ASUS!

Thinking back - and a bit out loud, is it because Gina Alajar enjoys so much the honor of being tagged as quot;Actress-Directorquot; and a recipient of the quot;Lino Brocka Lifetime Achievement Award?quot;

Pero maigsi talaga ang alala ng mga kababayan natin. Di po ba during Armida Siguion-Reyna's birthday in Nov. 8 last year, naibalita dito rin sa PEP na, quot;Latecomers were Senator Jinggoy Estrada, ace directors Joel Lamangan and Mel Chionglo, multi-award winner actress Gina Alajar, and screenwriter Racquel Villacencio.quot;

Hindi po ba natatandaan ng manunulat ng article nito sa PEP ang pangyayaring ito? Ang sumulat po ng article na yon as si Ms. Karen A. Pagsolingan entitled, 'Armida Siguion-Reyna celebrates quot;18thquot; birthday the quot;Aawitan Kitaquot; way'.

How sad it is to listen to both veteran and well-seasoned actresses trying to vindicate themselves in public.

Gina Alajar trying to explain her side at SNN today has rather embarrassed her more than saved her skin. Her defence mechanism that might have resulted from her past marriage with a prominent family and may not have ended up in a bed of roses inasmuch as what Snooky migh have had, could be the main reason why she behaves this way.

The difference is, and all press people know that Snooky was very much adored by her ex-in-laws, compared to Gina who was rather not accepted entirely in the circle - possibly due to lack of education and all, as manifested by her actions of late. Raised eyebrows were felt in the industry when she forced herselve to be a director - yet she could not even pronounce the medium of instruction in proper English. She must learn how to humble herself and be in touch more with mother Earth. Everyone must understand - she drew the FIRST BLOOD.

In fairness kay Snooky, kahit mahaba siyang magsalita, articulate siya at marunong mag-Ingles. Well-read kasi si Ms. Snooky. Eh si Gina di ko pa narinig nag-Ingles nang maayos. Nagbasa nga siya ng excerpt ng Para Kay B mali-mali pa ang pronunciation niya, supposedly magaling pa naman siyang aktres. Hmp!

Napanood ko explanation ni Gina Alajar sa SNN at mas lalo akong nabastusan sa kanya. Sabi niya gusto lang niyang pahintuin na si Snooky sa pagsasalita dahil mahaba na raw ang sinasabi nito kaya sinabi na lang niya na Huwag kang male-late, ha. Mas mabuti na raw ito kesa sinabi niyang Tumigil ka na nga sa kasasalita mo!

Hello, gaano ka ba ka-busy Gina Alajar at nagmamadali ka. May kabastusan yang si Gina Alajar, akala mo kung sino! Hmp!

Team Snooky. I love you Cooky!

team snooky....

hmmmmmm peace na lang ...wala ako sa mood ngayon ...

Naputol po ... bago po tayo makasakit na husto. Tandaan po natin na both personalities have their own rights to say about their successes and failures in life. Lest we do not fail to remember that both equally have children who may have their own lives to live, it is our duty to exclude them on these irregularities between their parents - kawawa naman po ang mga bata.

Expressing one's thoughts, especially at the time of being oppressed, is not merely calling the shots of taking a publicity stunt, for publicity's sake. True, Snooky should of would have waited longer and told the same to Gina personally of how she felt insulted and dehumanized after the former was made an object of ridicule by the latter. That as much I have to agree with the bloggers ... walang masama doon. But how is it once said: Feelings are neither right nor wrong - phychologists' general statement during sessions. Expression one's feelings at the time and place it happened is generally correct. What would be considered wrong is, when Snooky waited for a long time, then start blabbering her mouth after. Yun po ang mali sa lahat - parang she enjoyed it muna, then cried foul when the results came out not in her favor - siguristang cheap person ang dating nya doon. Pag-isipan po ninyo ng mabuti. I'm not of course setting anyone's mind here. Inaayos lang po sa tama ang discussion bago po tayo makasakit ng h

dunno...
think your both too old for this kind of issue...

SIMPLENG BAGAY, PINAPALAKI MO SNOOKY SERNA!

What's this? publicity?

kaloka ka team kapamz ....kalorkaaa...basta team snooky ako at maganda sya. Maganda sa personal kasi kaschoolmate ko yan sa Benedictine Abbey....vengga

we'll

sabi ko nga dati
it's better late than never
well... insensitve c gina at sensitive name si snooky..

tsaka pala ms. snooky sabihin mo nalang sa kanya na..pasalamat ka dumating ako..

hehehehe

peace everyone..

. I have friends from the press who dont like Gina personally. Masyado daw na paimportante at may pagka elitista. I admit , both Gina and Snooky are good actresses BUT mas mabait at down to earth si snooky. And Snooky is very transparent.

If you must know, and again this is simply the facts being stated as they come. Try to use the search engine of this website and type the names of Gina Alajar and Snooky Serna and witness how may of each one of them will come out. Kayo na po mismo ang maghusga when it comes to either being popular or otherwise. Next, not too long ago, almost a year, Ms. Alajar had a brush of event with Ms. Creselda Volks that almost landed in a vebal abberation betweet them. Ms. Volks allegedly mentioned something like Ms. Gina's sour attitude against starting celebs. Does that not ring a bell to anyone? Snooky's had a bad brush of luck in the past years, now that she's starting to come out of it, Gina's tryin to let her stay there? Ganun na po ba talaga kasama ang lipunan natin para tuluyang ibagsak natin ang ating kapwa kasamahan sa hanapbuhay?

Miss Snooky, laging mong orasan si Miss Gina..Huwag na huwag syang magpapalate or else, kailangan nyang lumuhod sa munggo. BTW, i just watched Paupahan and Miss Snooky was amazing there.

ayaw ko dito sa name na gina alajar? napapanood ko siya sa kambal sa uma trying hard siya kung umakting?? tapos ang mga damit niya hindi niya kayang dalhin!!!sobra siyang old fashion na magdala nang damit!!!kumbaga wala siyang class sa pananamit! punggok pa na babae! kaya siya iniwanan ni michael de mesa kasi hindi siya kagandahan at ang gilagid n'ya maitim pa! ewan ko ba,kung papaano siya naging director? insecure lang 'yan kay cookie kasi mas malakas ang dating ni cookie sa pananamit at sa grammar sa english!

In fairness to Ms. Snooky, despite her expression of thoughts and feelings, she still maintains the proper art of diplomacy in expressing the same. That is, her carefully used words were generally said in a non-confrontational and polite manner. After the humiliating side-steet mannered crab-mentality of Ms. Gina Alajar, let us not be surprise an even more lambasting reliation from her camp. My apologies to the others who blogged in this article or issue, mas mahal ko po ang trabaho ko kesa ke Gina or Snooky. Ipinapamahagi ko lang po ang aking pananaw sa mga pangyayari dahil nandoon po ang inyong lingkod mismo sa lugar ng pinangyarihan, kaya tulad ng ibang mga dyarista, inuulat lang po namin ang mga kaganapan ayon sa aming nasaksihan.

Dondi and Aringkingking, thank you for your blogs about our views. Not only because we share the same commonality of thoughts, but because of the old ways of thinking, Good Manners and Right Conduct. Si Ms. Gina Alajar and I have almost the same age, 6 to 8 years older than Ms. Snooky Serna who just celebrated her 43rd birthday this month of April. Regardless whether Gina will react to these blogs or not, and positively or not, tulad ko, ako ang nakakatanda, ako ang dapat marunong umunawa. Kung ang pamamaraan upang malaman ang katotohana ay kailangang idaan sa kahihiyan, alipustahan at pag-intindi ng katayuan ng isang tao, taliwas sa turo ng lahat ng merong pananalig sa Dios, anoman relihiyong sinasaniban meron tayo, eh wag na po natin pagtakhan kung bakit meron pong addict na Gina Alajar or pagong na Snooky Serna. Tayo na rin po mismo ang may kasalanan kung bakit meron pong katulad nila sa ating lipunan. Pasintabi lang po sa mga tinamaan.

humiliate

puwede naman i-remind ang isang tao about something in private. but to publicly humilate and ridicule someone, that is another matter.

I guess di ka dapat mapikon. Time is precious para sa iba kaya instead of being too sensitive take it as an advice or a suggestion to make things right. Maging open minded ka sa critics ng mga tao kasi Artista ka!

okay lang yan snooky e wala kang magawa talagang pagong ka nagkataon lang na biniro ka sa lahat ng press.alam naman ng lahat na wa sense kang kausp.tingnan mo naman ang mga kasabayan mo big time super bowl na.pero atleast ngayon bumabawi ka at hindi na nagmamakaawang bigyan ng projects tulad ng dati.sobra naman ang nangyari sayo before.etong lolang gina rabbit e di naman taklesa nadaig pa si tetay at naagawan ng eksena....yari kang gina ka..o ayan dala ng diazemols sensitivity si snokee...

Masaya ako at bumabalik na naman si Snooky. Very talented kasi ang batang ito. Paborito ito ng late Lino Brocka at ni joey Gosiengfiao. A good talent would always bounce back

dondi, sorethumb and the others with similar views- so glad to know there are still people like you. thumbsup to you all -smile-

Low class pala etong si Gina. Habang tumatanda, lalong nagiging bastos.

Team snooky ako.

Sa bansa natin, kapag prinangka ka ng seryosohan, offensive ang dating. Kapag pinagsabihan ka ng dinaan sa biro, yung iba naooffend pa din! Eh papaano pa kaya tayo magsasabi ng gustong sabihin sa kapwa? Ang hirap pa naman sa atin we bear grudges....hay, hirap!

nakuh baka lonely,insecure lang yang si gina sa buhay kaya ayan nagpapapansin at ikaw snooky ang nakita nyang magandang target...lagyan mo kasi ng identity yang sarili mo,patunayan mo sa kanila
na dapat kang irespeto,para hindi yung ganyang ikaw yung ginagawang target para paglaruan ng mga taong insecure sa buhay...

Hello, gagita ka ba? basahin mo nga ang PEP article. Its about gina being BASTOS.

Snooky, Hello? Ganun talaga yun. Masakit dahil totoo. So Matuto ka?

Kidding aside, Snooky is really a remarkable actress. She is also one of the most beautiful faces in the Philippine movie industry. Just ask mother lily. Dont give up Snooky. Keep on acting since dyan ka magaling.

LOL nag labasan na sa lungga ang mga Snooky fans. Matakot ka na Gina.

Snooky, tuloy-tuloy lang. We love you. You're an institution yourself in the movie industry. You were the cutest darling quot;Snookyquot; in the early 70s. And you're one of the best natural actresses we have. Wag kang mawawalan ng loob.

Hay, I love Cooky. Nakakabangon na si Snooky, wag na nating hilahin pababa.

Marami na rin akong narinig na taklesa yang si Gina Alajar. Masydong mataas ang ere at kung umasta at magbigay ng opinyon akala mo siya pinakadakilang artista. Huwag syang manapak ng kapwa niya artista.

anong movie nga meron si gina? kasabayan ba nya si Paraluman?

Kaloka PEP. Bonggang bongga ang manay snooky. Andaming supporters. Nabuhay muli ang Blusang Itim na may Koronang Itim. Idagdag pa si Madonna ang babaeng ahas. Parang Naging Bata na naman si Sabel.

Maybe that is the problem, being in a business where being thick skin is a prerequisite, you take offense too easily. Ms. Gina Alajar is an utlimate professional, there is a message in her jest, take heed. Nagbabagong buhay ka, then concentrate on that, prove her wrong. Am sure that the next time you cross paths, she will be singing a different tune about you. Unfortunately, all that we know of you is that you want to try and change, but saying it and actually doing it are two entirely different things. Grow up Girl, this is not one of the things that you should be sweating out.

mukha yatang walang pinagtandahan si gina.tumatandang pa urong

Gina is a big turn off. I am for Snooky this time. Snooky is one of Philippine cinemas great actresses and I respect her big talent.

I agree with you sorethumb wholeheartedly. Hindi sa akin uubra ang ganyang mga pag-uugali. Walang class at walang kamodo-modo.

A lot of you guys are typical crab mentality. Nakakahiya kayo. Here, we have Snooky trying so hard to redeem herself from lots of trials she has experienced, pero most of you ay tuwang tuwa na apak-apakan sya. Anong klase kayong mga tao. Kapareho nyo lang ng ugali si Gina alajar, mga insensitive na alaskador. Mga ghetto people.
I hope that PEP would get Gina alajars side para malaman natin kung anong reason behind her tactlesness.

Nov 8: thank you for your reaction on my earlier comments about the situation. Tama ka. Celebrities have weird ways of dealing with their situations and more often than obvious, they use their charm and whims just to get practically everything they ask for. That much I will really agree with you. But the issue here is, the great Gina Alajar threw a bad one on Snooky that is a bit off that what a veteran and well-seasoned public person should do. Worse, she unmindedly threw a joke at the expense of someone, which sa comedy bars lang kadalasan nangyayara, and they are being paid by their audience to do it.

This in my opinion is very different naman po. FYI po, I have known Snooky since the early days of Underage, along with Maricel, et al, though I am not an avid fan. I have heard so many things about here, the good and the bad, yet there are more good that I have heard outweighin the bad ones. I also know that the people around or close to her made her of what she was, but I think we all know th

In 1781, one great Irish orator and philosopher once wrote: All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing Edmund Burke. Taking the logic of that philosophy and base that on this situation simply means that if we allow Snooky to just let the evil thing that Gina did to her and her person, evil indeed triumphed, as with most evil things that are happening in this country, as we simply look at it as it passes before our very eyes.

Ang hindi po maintindihan at maialis sa isipan ng karamihang nabibigay ng kanilang opinion dito, sa si Snooky po ay isang pagong at me sayad - wala na pong pag-asang magbago.

Hindi po ba ninyo alam na siya ang pinakauna-uahang celebrity sa dumating sa venue? Mahirap po bang intindihin na nagpapakita naman po ng pagbabago yung tao? Ipakita naman po sana natin ang tamang pag-uunawa - at iwasan ang crab mentality na umiiral sa karamihan sa atin.

i judt don't get this woman. para talagang kailangan nya magpatingin sa psychologist. snooky's weird

sa totoo lang naman na laging late yan si snooky serna...maybe gina was just kidding when she said that....napa ka sensitive naman nya...
