Derek Ramsay TV5 Contract Worth P600-M, Asked by Star Cinema to Tell the Truth About Bea Alonzo's Movie


In a news posted at Yahoo! OMG on Saturday, TV5 star Derek Ramsay said he can't help but feel hurt when he learned that Star Cinema decided to take him out as Bea Alonzo’s leading man in the movie "The Mistress" and replaced by John Lloyd Cruz.

I was the last to know. (At first) hindi ako naniwala sa mga tao sa paligid ko na wala na nga ako talaga.” Derek said.

In today's Ricky F. Lo's Funfare article, Star Cinema Managing Director Malou Santos, answers and clarifies Derek's statement which she believes is a lie.

The article reads:

Star Cinema managing director Malou Santos called up Funfare yesterday to clarify the item about Derek Ramsay having been “unceremoniously” taken out of The Mistress, replaced by John Lloyd Cruz as the leading man of Bea Alonzo (with Hilda Koronel and Ronaldo Valdez as the other members of the cast).

Malou said that Derek did shoot for the movie for only three days and not seven days as Funfare reported.

Before Derek signed up with the Kapatid Network TV5, Malou admitted that Star Cinema/ABS-CBN did make a counter-offer for both film and TV, without mentioning the talent fee involved. According to the network’s official statement, Derek must have been offered by TV5 an amount “na hindi namin kayang tapatan.” Derek and his manager Joji denied that Derek bit the TV5 offer to the tune of P600 million (too much, too much!?!).

“I spoke to Joji about management’s decision last April 4 at 5 p.m.,” recalled Malou. “The text of Derek came a few minutes after that. It said, ‘Hi, Tita. I heard the sad news na papalitan n’yo po ako sa movie. Thank you, Tita, for the opportunity. Best wishes.’ I texted him back, ‘I hope you understand the decision of management.’ He replied, ‘Yes, I do.’ So it’s not true that we replaced Derek without his being informed about it.”

Citing the case of Aga Muhlach who also moved from Kapamilya to Kapatid, Malou said it was an entirely different story.

“Aga was shooting his Star Cinema movie In The Name Of Love with Angel Locsin when his negotiations with TV5 were going on, but he made the official announcement only when the movie was done and ready to be shown,” explained Malou. “In the case of Derek, nauna ang announcement ng paglipat n’ya sa TV5 before the movie was even finished.”

Malou has one appeal to Derek: “As I wish you luck and I respect your decision (to sign up with another network), just tell the truth. Huwag lang magsalita ng hindi tama at hindi totoo.”
