One can really get the best updates about their favorite showbiz personalities through Twitter. This social networking site has been a witness to a lot of vents and rants thus seemingly adding fuel to the fire.
Hopefully, this will not be the case between ABS-CBN’s Anne Curtis and the Kapuso Network, GMA 7. Obviously there is something wrong and the best party to settle the issue would be organizers of the USTv Students’ Choice Awards. Anne has given her side through her tweets and GMA 7 has already aired their side as well.
According to her tweets, Anne requested the GMA 7 people if she could just go up the stage and say hi to her fans for even just 2 minutes. Obviously she wasn’t granted her request and tweeted about it instead. She did tell her followers not to get mad at the staff of GMA because they may have their reasons. And it turned out the GMA did have a reason after all.
In their official statement about the issue, the Kapuso network said that they only followed what was already in the program sequence. They said that their talents arrived on time and waited for their turn for nearly three hours. The GMA talents were there in time for their 5pm call time. Basing on the program and from what the organizers of USTv Students’ Choice Awards, their talents were supposed to go on stage by 7pm. But because of some insertions like the ABS-CBN’s Banana Split cast, the program flow wasn’t followed.
This is GMA 7’s official statement:
1. Prior to the event, network representatives had been briefed by the organizers/UST about the sequence of the programme. This was to be the basis for arranging our artists’ schedules and determining their call time for the event.
2. Based on the schedule, GMA artists were supposed to perform at 7 pm. Our talents were at the venue as early as 5 pm. Last-minute insertion of ABS-CBN’s Banana Split cast in the programme however further pushed back the schedule.
3. Shortly before GMA’s number, GMA representatives confirmed the programme sequence with organizers. We were told that the Kapuso artists would be next. GMA was not aware nor informed by the organizers in any prior meeting that Anne Curtis will be part of the program.
4. When the GMA artists were about to go on stage, Anne Curtis, her handler and a student organizer approached a GMA representative to ask if she could go on stage first.
However, GMA staff declined and instructed the floor director and production staff to please proceed with the programme sequence, as the Kapuso stars also had other schedules to go to, and by this time were already waiting for nearly three hours.
5. GMA later found out that Ms. Curtis had left the venue and had tweeted about the incident.
Ms. Curtis posted a series of tweets which elicited a lot of negative
reaction towards GMA. The fact is—we were simply sticking to the
programme sequence provided by the organizers themselves.
We are certain Ms. Curtis had her own reasons for requesting to go onstage immediately, but the Kapuso artists also had their own respective schedules and had in fact been pushed back even prior to Ms. Curtis’ request.
We are hoping that the organizers could come forward and clarify matters to avoid blowing things out of proportion.
Well, both parties have aired their side. To settle this issue everybody needs to hear from the organizers of the USTv Students’ Choice Awards to settle the matter and put the issue at rest.

Whatever GMA.
Well, even Anne affirms, the GMA artists should go first… the funny part is, why is ABS-CBN misleading people with the article in their website? The headline is very much slanted.
