Part 1. G Tongi on offending writers with "sarcastic" answers: "Being sarcastic is only how you take it."

G Tongi on her reported sarcastic remarks that offended some entertainment writers: “So, ngayon na nagbabalik ako, kung may nao-offend man dahil sinasabi nilang sarcastic, e, totoo kasi napaka-sarcastic kong tao. Totoo, e. I mean, you ask me a question, sinagot ko. I’m not trying to offend anyone. I’m just trying to be myself, you know."

Hindi napigilang maging emosyinal at mapaluha ni Giselle o G Tongi nang magpaliwanag siya at ipagtanggol ang kanyang sarili tungkol sa isyung nagmaldita umano siya sa ilang miyembro ng entertainment press.

Napag-alaman ng  PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na na-offend umano sa kanya ang ilang writers na nag-interview sa kanya sa presscon noon ng nagtapos nang mini-series ng TV5, ang Nandito Ako.

Tila naging sarcastic umano ang dating ng pagsagot niya sa ilang katanungan ng press.

“Siguro kung may nao-offend man, I promise I don’t intend to.

"Siguro lumakas na rin lang ang loob ko dahil sa pinagdaanan ko rin, di ba?

“It comes to a point na nobody does things for you. You have to do it for yourself.

"Hopefully, I can inspire people to be true. Wa’ [wala] na plastic, di ba? Matanda na tayo,” umiiyak na sabi ni G.

Nakausap ng PEP si G sa grand presscon ng kinabibilangan niyang bagong primetime series ng ABS-CBN na pinagbibidahan ng Kapamilya teenstar na si Ella Cruz, ang Aryana, na ginanap sa Sulo Hotel poolside kagabi, May 1.

Halimbawa na lang daw ng tanong noon sa kanya ay kung nag-try ba siyang magkaroon ng karera sa Hollywood dahil ang bukambibig niya nga ay ang career niya sa Los Angeles.

Ang sagot niya raw ay “Hollywood is just a place and there are many other jobs in L.A!”—sa tonong tila minamaliit daw niya ang kaalaman ng nagtanong.

Paliwang ni G dito, “It is just a place. Why would anyone get offended? I live there for nine years.

“It is just a rhetoric na ‘pag sinabi mong Hollywood, parang akala nila, ‘Oh, that’s where films are made.’ But in reality, hindi, e, hindi lang doon.”

SARCASTIC ISSUE. Ano naman ang komento niya sa umano’y pagiging sarcastic niya?

“Aba, wala na akong magagawa roon.

"I cannot apologize for being who I am.

    Kung sinagot mo kasi ng truthfully ang tanong e di sana walang naasar sayo diba? Di naman masamang sabihin na I tried pero I didn't make it e. Masyado kasi mataas ang ihi nito. Oo, inamin nya na nagbartender at waitress sha, pero mabilisang pagamin sabay wagayway ng UCLA education nya. Hallller. What is an education kung wala ka din naman career diba? Kaya nga umuwi ka ng Pinas, diba? At masyado mong ginagawang timang ang mga Pinoy? Property Manager daw asawa nya. Kung magsalita kala mo BIGTIME. Haller, apartment property manager. Ibig sabihin, KAHERO! Definitely hindi mayari ng apartment bldg kasi kung me ari yun, e di sana hindi nagpparttime bartender ang asawa nya! Masyadong mayabang tong si G Toengi kaya ganun nalang ang lagapak nya e!

    I dont' see anything wrong with her responses. Aminin na kasi nating may mga reporters na magtatanong lang, mag-eexpect na nang sagot at kung hindi yung sagot na gusto nilang marinig ang sabihin mo, reklamo na agad and the only way to shut them off is to pay them off!! LOL

    i don't think she was being sarcastic, but she was obviously ticked off. lol. can't say i blame her. pero syempre sa Pilipinas, everyone's a sucker for the 'false humility' projection. kaya maraming nauuto ang mga politiko e. hahaha! i guess she has to play the nice and pleasant actress esp. when dealing with the Filipino showbiz press if she doesn't want her as s chewed on nonstop by this group.

    sa totoo lang wala akong makitang sarcastic sa mga sinabi niya.. kung yun ang plano niya e di yun ang plano niya.. anong dapat kontrahin don? anong pinagmayabang niya doon? she's talking about her future plans e di siyempre lahat maganda. kaya ng plans eh, kayo ba may planong puro palubog ang mangyayari sa inyo? kung ganyan nga kayo mag isip, malamang maski hindi niyo planuhin lulubog talaga kayo.

    Ok lang ang sagot niya..totoo naman eh. Bakit kapag si Anabel Rama ang sumagot ng parang ganyan, may tono, sarcastic ok lang sa press at tao..endearing pa sa kanila..and sasabihing ganyan naman talaga iyon, ok lang. However, kapag ibang artista ang sumagot at balikan ang press, mayabang na, walang respect, etc, etc. G, bigyan mo na lang sila ng datong or bagksakan mo ng lechon at regalo, maganda na ang tingin nila ulit sa iyo. Press is on sided..kung some people in the government corrupt..sa press kaya ano ang katumbas?

    G has proudly said before she has 3 passports, namely Swiss, Filipino and US so if she earns enough then maybe she'll fly to Europe with her family one day and try her luck there. luckily, she has a career to come home to in Manila while other little name stars that left and came back also would have a hard time building their names. but G somehow managed to get roles now in Manila, albeit motherhood roles, but still, if it is gonna make her relevant again to the subconscious minds of the youth, why not? rather than doing internships in film in the US in film companies, given her degree, it doesn't pay to be an intern just to get her foot in the door. she's almost 40 so she thought she'll play her cards right and just go back to the Philippines. at least she got her citizenship, her degree and her family with her and a career. she's still lucky.

    a slice of humility pie would've been better. with her reply, it seems she's showing the vibe that she's bitter bec. obviously nothing happened with her Hollywood career. she could've said something like i tried but maybe it wasn't my destiny. anyway, i'm a mom now so my time is limited and there's no yaya in the US so here i can do more things than in the US. but sadly, she chose to be sarcastic thinking it won't backfire on her so now suffer the consequences. eat the humble pie, G.

    iba na mga pinoy ngayon, G. kaya na nilang lumevel sa mga artista. gumigimik na sila kung saan gumigimik mga artista. magaganda na work nila. hindi na sila ganoon ka starstruck sa mga artista like nung panahon mo kaya huwag ka magmamalaki... they'll even bash you kung gusto nila, what with the social media na usong uso ngayon.... si sam milby nga na sikat dito, was honest enough to say na babalik na siya kc hindi nagwork out ung hollywood dream na pinursue nya for 3 months... so huwag ka maarte dito, ok?

    G could have just said that she got tired of waiting for a job in Hollywood. Walang nangyari, period! Kaya nandito ka ulit to work. Why? Can't pay for your morgage in LA? Can't send your kids to a private school kasi out of work actor ka? I can remember na ang yabang yabang pa niya in saying na she's aiming for Hollywood and she had enough of the intrigues in local showbiz. Ngayon nasaan ka na ulit? You are back and you still have that arrogant and rude attitude. Admit it G, Your head got too big for your hat. Huwag masyadong ambisyosa.

    tse, nagsimula pa lang uli, nega na ang dating. the press was just looking for some humility and frankness from you kasi obviously epic fail ka sa ambition to make a splash in hollywood. so sabihin mong ang splash na nagawa mo ay yung ice na linagay mo sa cocktails sa bartending. have a sense of humor. pwede mo ibahagi yung masaklap mong karanasan mo without sounding pitiful and emphasizing your learnings. mas maging kampante sa yo kesa kung mag-iinarte ka, teh.

    sarcastic ang sagot dahil wala siyang hollywood acting career. ask her na lang about her "other jobs." like this article says nga, waitressing and bartending.

    C'mon, G. You were the one who announced that you're leaving Philippines to try your luck in Hollywood, the "US entertainment industry." Now you're making the entertainment media look stupid by saying Hollywood is just a place?! You could have answered that question in a nicer way and still show who you are.
