At the kick-off party of USTv Students' Choice Awards last November 10, Anne Curtis prepared a song number. On Twitter, she revealed her song choice—Adele's "Someone like You." Anne's tweet, addressing Thomasians: "First time to sing it live and full song dapat! Haha. Oh well, maybe next year! It was nice seeing you guys kahit saglit!"

ABS-CBN has issued an official statement about the issue involving its contract star Anne Curtis, whose supposed song number at the USTv Students' Choice Awards didn't push through.

First, it clarified that the No Other Woman actress "was invited to perform," and her song number was slated for 7:30 p.m.

Second, it said that "the organizers of the event, who should be the ones making the decisions for the program, failed to control the incident."

Clearly, there was a communication loophole because GMA-7's version stated that: (1) the Kapuso staff "was not aware nor informed by the organizers in any prior meeting that Anne Curtis will be part of the program," (2) the Kapuso stars were supposed go on stage at "7 p.m." (CLICK HERE to read story)

Nonetheless, ABS-CBN said that "such delays and compromises occur during events," and "extra patience and consideration" are needed.


Here's the complete statement sent by the Kampamilya network's corporate communication division:

Last November 10 at the Kick-Off Party of the USTv Students' Choice Awards, the aborted song number of Anne Curtis became a hot topic.


We would like to clarify the issues related to the incident at the USTv awards' launch, where Anne was invited to perform. The call time for Anne was 7PM and she arrived on time. She was scheduled to sing at 7:30 PM but due to some reason, the program was delayed.


Because Anne had been waiting for quite some time, the organizers of USTv awards decided to put her spot number after TV5's presentation and before GMA-7 artists' number.

Unfortunately, she was not able to perform or even greet the crowd because a staff from GMA-7 stopped her. The organizers of the event, who should be the ones making the decisions for the program, failed to control the incident.

ABS-CBN understands that such delays and compromises occur during events like the USTv Awards Kick-Off Party. During such times, people involved at the event might just have to extend extra patience and consideration.

    overview daw o... walang overview dito dahil bottomline is still the diva attitude of anne and the principles of GMA and their staff... PANINGIT lang si anne, and USTV organizers made the RIGHT decision NOT to let her go on simply bcoz GMA wanted to stick to the program sequence...

    di naman lahat ng nanood ng USTV nag-aaral sa USTE... karamihan din dun, yung mga holdaper at snatcher na umaaligid-aligid sa dapitan at espana... yun ang level ni mckie at nice143... nakinood na nga lang, nakapangsnatch at nakapandukot pa, nagreklamo pa sa mga artistang napanood nila... kaya siguro insistent sila na sana pinalabas na lang si anne para mas madali silang magnakaw...

    naku no 350, wala po kayo sa baryo na maaring ikaw lang ang imbitadong magpe-perform, kaya pwede kang dumating ng 20 minutos bago ang show para masabing punctual ka at on time. iba ang kalakaran sa mega manila lalo na at napakaraming talents. kailangan maghintay ka para mapasalang.

    wala nmn po ngssabi masama mgtweet si anne ang pinopoint lng po eh sana ung hindi na sya ngsabi ng name kc miscommunication ung ngyari.at totoong d sya pinayagan ng gma staff dahil nga sa part sinusunod nila lang ang program sequence which is valid reason nman.ang organizer itself alam nila na hindi pumayag ang gma staff dahil kawawa nmn ung artista nila may iba din commitment. wala nmn kasalann si anne at gma staff also. ang ngyari lng "sana"inalam muna nya ung punot dulo para atleast mas maexplain nya ng mas maayos na walang madadamay na iba na wala din nmn idea sa gustong mangyari ng organizer.kc po dba sa ganyan event kelangang kailngang strict sa pg follow ng program unless mgkakagulo po .
