Osang sides with Cathy Garcia-Molina: Showbiz not for thin-skinned
Actress Rosanna “Osang” Roces sided with director Cathy Garcia Molina after a former talent of ABS-CBN primetime television series “Forevermore” complained that she and her boyfriend who agreed to be a substitute actor were cursed and humiliated by Molina on set.
In an “open letter” posted on her Facebook account, talent Rosselyn Domingo recounted the horrible experience that she and her boyfriend, historian and educator Alvin Campomanes, went through under Molina while taping for a scene for the hit show in 2014.
“Hindi kasi kaya ng sikmura ko ang pagmumura niyo sa mga ekstra. Sagad sa buto. Napakasakit para sa akin na mura-murahin niyo nang pauli-ulit ang boyfriend ko sa harap ng maraming tao. Nakatatak sa alaala ko ang mga ngisi at tawanan ng mga staff at cameramen niyo kapag nagpapakawala kayo ng mga mura,” said Domingo.

Domingo even showed the complaint that Campomanes filed before the executives of the broadcast giant. However, a boss from ABS-CBN reportedly told them that Molina was known for cursing on set and that it was her way of coping with stress.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, Roces seemed to echo the reasoning of the ABS-CBN boss, saying that actors and talents underwent humiliation before they became good in their craft.
Roces, who was first known for her sexy roles, said that directors are always stressed on set.
“Ang Showbiz ay hindi para sa mga Balat Sibuyas. Kami man ay nakatikim din nang katakut takot na panlalait at Pagmumura bago kami talagang natuto at naging Magaling. sino ba ang makakalimot sa mga Malalaswa at Nakaririmarim na Instruksyon ni Mauro Gia Samonte. Mga malulutong na Punyeta ni Chito rono ..at ang kahindik hindik na presensya ni Armida Sigueon Reyna. ? Lahat ng yan ay Nakatulong para mahubog kung anong klaseng Artista ako ngayon. Napakahirap maging Direktor…sinubukan kong minsan katuwang ni direk Buboy Neal Tan at di ko na sinubukang muli. Grabe ang stress, Pressure at Pagod. di ko kaya. me mga bagay pala talagang kinakaya ng sariling pag iisip at lakas pero marami ring hindi,” said Roces.
She chided Domingo for being “too emotional,” adding that if she could not take the pressure, she should not have entered the showbiz industry in the first place.
“Naging emosyonal naman masyado ang Babaeng nagrereklamo kay direk CATHY MOLINA. ! simple lang yan ..kung di mo naman pala kaya ang mundo ng pelikula..Eh di sana di mo pinasok! Namura ka lang kailangan pa bang hiyain ng todo ang taong Mas pagod…mas Puyat at di hamak na mas maraming Iniisip kesa sa yo! mag call center kayo ng Jowa mo kung gusto mo…for all we know kaya ka nagkakaganyan eh naging madamdamin ka dahil sa sa palagay mo ay napahiya ang boypren mo,” the actress added.
Roces even shared an unwritten rule in showbiz: “ME KANYA KANYA TAYONG TOPAK…ARTISTA KA MAN O DIREKTOR…I RERESPETO KO ANG TOPAK MO NGAYON.. PERO PAG AKO ANG TINOPAK RESPETO MO DIN!! ganyan kasimple pero ang kinalalabasan nyan ay isang MAGANDANG OBRA.”
As of posting time, Molina has not yet issued a statement regarding the issue. AJH
