Many wonder why the public confession (KC Concepcion on her breakup with Piolo Pascual) had to take place. Some are all too sure that it was only for purposes of TV ratings, or to stir up enough interest to jump-start the careers involved.

But it has gone much farther than that. Presumption seems to have become fact [since] delivery of highly ambiguous statements invites over-reading between the lines. When this happens, you will read what you want to read.

If you loan your life to the public, as movie stars do—and if the curiosity of the larger number of people become the fuel for your success, you might as well be doomed. You do not have a right to privacy, and people judge you not for what they see you do but what they speculate you are doing … in the dark.

In any case, this story doesn’t end here. What should be more interesting is the damage control that is yet to take place and what are the repercussions of that public confession on the careers of the personalities involved and implicated.
