"Ang nakakatawa, parang I don't have to have to defend myself, pero what I'll do na lang is siguro, at this point, I'll remind na lang everybody na I've been endorsing products very credibly, very carefully, since I was 13. At hindi ko ipagpapalit sa isang endorserment yung reputation ko," says Sharon Cuneta about the controversy brought about by her billboard for a slimming program.

May isyu ngayon hinggil sa controversial billboard ng Marie France na si Sharon Cuneta ang bagong endorser. 

Naunang naiulat sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang tungkol sa diumano'y pag-pull out ng nasabing billboard ni Sharon. May mga komento umano na hindi bago ang pictorial at hindi ayon sa slimming program ng Marie France, na akma sa pangangailang pisikal ng Megastar. (CLICK HERE to read related story.)

Agad itong binigyang-linaw ni Sharon kagabi, February 8, pagkababang-pagkababa ng kanyang sasakyan sa bukana ng Fanny Serrano salon na nakatakdang magkaroon ng pasinaya o inauguration sa Scout Madriñan sa Quezon City. 

Si Sharon ang naimbitahan, along with her husband Senator Kiko Pangilinan, na mag-cut ng ceremonial ribbon.

"It's true! Hindi daya 'yan! What came out in the billboards were from the same pictorial," sabi ni Sharon, obviously peeved by recent turnout of events hinggil sa kanyang pagiging endorser.

"Nasa taping ako, at nagulat ako. Somebody texted me, 'there's...' ganyan. 'What? Oh, my God!'

"Sabi raw, mas parang totoo yung isang billboard kesa dun sa naka-blue [where Sharon is in a slimmer figure]. E, isang pictorial lang 'yon. Lahat yun isang pictorial. Isang araw lang lahat ang costume na 'yon. Meron pa ngang lalabas. The thing is, Marie France disputed it."

CREDIBILITY. Patuloy ng Megastar, "Ang nakakatawa, parang I don't have to have to defend myself, pero what I'll do na lang is siguro, at this point, I'll remind na lang everybody na I've been endorsing products very credibly, very carefully, since I was 13. 

"At hindi ko ipagpapalit sa isang endorserment yung reputation ko," diin ni Sharon. "Marie France has been around for 25 years. Itanong n'yo na lang kay Dawn [Zulueta]."

Si Dawn ay naging endorser din ng nasabing slimming program.

"Hindi naman ako minamadali," sabi pa ni Sharon. "Series 'yan, e. It's the first set of billboards. Kung hindi, di sana hinintay natin na super-tingting ako... It's really papayat nang papayat. Hindi naman puwedeng biglaan 'yon, e.

"So, sabi ko, bakit sila nagtataka, e, yung costumes ko, yung pini-pin sa likod! From the last fitting, mas liliit sa pictorial. 

"All they have to do is watch Star Power every Sunday, I look the same. You know, to think TV puts on more than a picture, di ba? Parang... I don't know.

"Ni-launch ko 'yan, nakakatawa naman, lalabas ako, iba ang hitsura ko sa press than sa billboard. Ang tanga ko naman. Tanga ba ako?" natatawang sabi pa ni Sharon, bagamat naiirita sa naturang isyu sa kanya.

"Feeling ko lang, hindi pa ako nagkakaroon ng... Awa ng Panginoon, mula nung 13 [years old] ako, hindi pa ako nagkakaroon ng endorsement na nag-flop. Flop, meaning hindi kumita, hindi nadagdagan ang kita, o lalo pang humina.

    start wt the right nutrition, which means eating the right food wt balance quantity and vitamins. more fresh fruits and vegetables wt no sauces and toppings, no wheat products- no sugar rich products, more natural joghurts with honey as substitute for sugar cravings, more greens and grilled fish. Eat as often as you can in between meals but in less quantity and non fat food. indulge yourself to clenaing up that calories out of the whole system. Out of your house. Drink hot drinks than cold ones. Hot peppermint, green teas after some meaty meals or dinners and jog at least 30 minutes every day. Marie France is wrong for you. Just be yourself and think you will do this to be healthier, happier and to live longer! email me if you wish. I did this and i lost lots of weight. goodluck!

    Hey pepsters! Sharon Cuneta is a megastar and is allowed to act in some ways naman bit spoiled ok? Give it to her..that tantrum seizure na tinatawag. Its fine Shawie! BUT.... lets face this wt facts If Marie France will face the legal trouble of Misrepresentation, its their issue. Their mistake not yours. No one has the right to stop you from expressing publicly your own opinion and sentiments...nor your craving the food and sweets you want to eat nor to force you to loose weight. Each has its own way of keeping up oneself. I only can see that people do care for their megastar. Try to listen to what you really want and where youre happier. If you want to lose weight or stay a bit bigger. After all, thats you who could balance your health. And youre not in for teen-love team ups in the movie anymore. Time passes and Roles changes. More importantly, if you really want to loose..start wt your self-cleaning. Take away all your negative energy in the body and forgive your bitter past. Only then, you can s

    Breakfast pa lang niya yung sang-lamesang Lucky Me. Tapos magdedessert pa siya ng tig-iisang galoon ng lahat ng flavor at edition ng Nestle Ice Cream. Tapos mag-lulunch pa siya ng Hash Brown, Spaghetti, at Big Mac at Quarter Pounder sa McDo. Mag-gogrocery na naman siya ng Lucky Me Pancit canton at pupunuin niya yung car niya para kanyang dinner. Tapos mag-dedessert siya ng limang lata ng Nido one plus, three plus, at iba pa at isang dosenang Alaska evap. Oh yan, what do u have? a Marie-France billboard body, that is.

    Sha, advice ko sa iyo..you don't need to endorse a name to lose weight...respect yourself and please move your butt...why you need to use your fame and size to make money. We will appreciate you better if you lose weight by doing it yourself. You don't need any secret formula...determination plus sweat equals success. Goodluck! Stop making carrot cake for now. It will not be easy..but you can do it.

    I believe that most actors are just trying to be good and kind to Sharon, not really out of respect but our of fear that she will get sensitive to be turned down, just like what she did with Aga. Deep inside, these actors feel what the public have known all along, that is, she is really not very transparent. Her sweetness is all for show. She has been sensitive lately perhaps due to slowdown in her career. Her daughter KC's showbiz career has also been limited to hosting because, well, let's face it, she is not really meant for acting. There are too many who really know how to act. Plus of course the fact that she is now the official girlfriend of Piolo. Maybe Sharon is expecting someone not from showbiz for her daughter.

    natatandaan ko, yung lucky me ad ni sharon may nakahambalang sa ibabaw ng mesa na sandamukal na lucky me, suggesting na handa nyang kainin lahat yun. tapos ngayon naman, pagpapayat ang ini-endorse. anu ba talaga ang ini-impart ni shawie, kumain ng sangkatutak na noodles, o mag-diet? inconsistent si ate shawie hehe.

    SHARON's prospects for the future is a little gloomy.... she is now in deep pressure to lose weight dramatically as in the billboards.... but how can a woman who seems to have it all but recently declared on national tv that she is NOT HAPPY really only with empty smiles can ever do that.... when her source of happiness these days are overeating binges, shopping splurges therapy and ego-tripping... can SHARON cope up with the escalating mounting pressure from the now very crtical and scrutinizing public... tic toc tic toc

    If she is so sensitive about her weight - why did she even consider being an endorser for a weight loss program? I mean why would someone be part of the very issue that they are so sensitive about. Money? I dont think she needs more of this. She has just put more pressure on herself. This latest issue will only worsen the whole situation as people will be more curious if she can lose more and live up to the billboards. As an endorser, she should have been prepared to accept the consequence including the insults it may bring.She should not have stooped down to the level of Hayden - it just made her look more desperate and defensive. Nagpaka-mega ka na lang sana at hindi mo pinatulan para hindi na humaba ang usapan. I know Sharon is Sharon in the entertainment industry pero she has a lot to learn as far as diplomacy would be concerned. Most of the time Sharon - keeping quiet would extinguish the issue better.

    Sobrang yabang katulad din noon na sya ang nang insulto kay Aga sa harap ng maraming tao nang sabihin nya na Aga sino yon? Tapos expect pa nya na si Aga ang mag sorry sa kanya. Ngayon wala namang binabanggit na name si Hayden sobra na ang mga oratorical fireworks nya. Pati si Ricky Lo ay pinatawag nya dahil sinulat ni Ricky Lo na tinaggihan sya ni Aga na maging ka loveteam. Hindi na sya bagay maging loveteam. Dapat sa kanya ay mother, tita or kapatid roles na.

    Tumpak na misrepresentation dahil slimming results ang pinag-uusapan at hindi naman accurate ang billboard dahil hindi naman ang MF ang nagpapayat sa kanya kundi ang teknolohiya ng photoshop. Exhibit A ang billboard. Malaking ebidendsya. Simulan na ang proceedings. Ikumpara ang billboard sa tunay na buhay.

    Lechon Cebu or salad? Lechon Cebu with white rice. Fruits or ice cream? Ice cream. Paano kaya kung hindi sya pumayat? Isosoli kaya nya ang binayad sa kanya ng Marie France?
