Snooky Serna let out a flurry of controversial remarks in a radio program recently. After revealing she had been raped at age 14, Snooky went on to disclose whom she thought were the most “plastic” (hypocritical) persons in show biz. She named two–comedienne Ai-Ai delas Alas and teen heartthrob Gerald Anderson.
Snooky justifies her choice. In an interview with ABS-CBN’s “The Buzz” on Sunday, Snooky relates:
“Magkasama kami sa pelikula noon. Talaga, she was so friendly, ang ganda nung relationship namin ni Miss Ai-Ai. Di ko makalimutan kasi yon. In-invite kasi ako ni Direk Wenn (Deramas) sa premiere party at saka, I think if I remember right, birthday celebration din ni Miss Ai-Ai. Tapos the whole evening di niya ako pinapansin. Although binati ko siya. If felt so left out. To put it bluntly, I felt stupid na para bang trying hard ako na pinipilit ko ang sarili ko na magpa-in doon.”
Ai-Ai is out of the country and could not respond. According to Ai-Ai’s manager and “The Buzz” host Boy Abunda, she will answer the charges next week.
After Ai-Ai, Snooky trained her guns at another showbiz personality, teen actor Gerald Anderson. She again relates:
“Pero ang feeling ko, pinakilala kang minsan, okay. Sabihin natin, nagmamadali ka. Pero pinakilala kang nang harap-harapan, pangalawang beses. At naka-ganyan ka lang. Parang, hello, helleur. Hindi naman ako siguro kasing superstar mo, Gerald, may karapatan naman ako sigurong galangin mo. I’m also an actor like you are.”
Snooky further gave Gerald some pieces of advice in treating actors from another generation:
“Gerald, you don’t have to kiss my (edited out). You don’t have to make me samba-samba. Sana lang naman, huwag lang naman tratuhin kaming mga medyo matagal na sa industriya na para bang hindi na kami mga sikat so, ‘Do I know you?’ Parang ganoon ang dating. Nasaktan ako siyempre. Baka kailangan ni Gerald ng memory pill.”
Unlike Ai-Ai, Gerald is in the country, surprised about the special mention and gave this reaction also to “The Buzz”:
“Kung yun po ang tingin niya sa akin, ano po ang magagawa ko? You can’t please everyone. Si Miss Snooky yan. Di ko alam kung paano ako nadamay doon eh.”
“Sorry po kung ganoon ang reaction ko kasi ngayon ko lang po talaga nalaman. Aminin ko, sobrang mahiyain po ako. Hindi po ako lalapit talaga sa ano hangga’t hindi pinakilala.”
“Sorry kung meron po akong ginawang masama.”
Now comes Kim Chiu, Gerald’s partner in the Kimerald love team, defending him at all costs while risking her own potential brush with her 1980s counterpart.
“Sabi ni Snooky? Di naman siya (Gerald) plastic. Ang bait-bait nga niya kahit hindi niya kakilala. Siguro naiingit lang sila kay Gerald. Sino ba ito, Snooky na babae o Snooky na lalake?”

Jennylyn Mercado has now started mending her ties with GMA-7 by agreeing to one condition network officials had allegedly pointed out to her previously — have her manager Becky Aguila out of the picture.
Becky, who discovered Jennylyn before she ever set foot on GMA Network Center, had become persona-non-grata in Kapuso country after engineering the flight of erstwhile GMA prized actress Angel Locsin to the network’s rival, ABS-CBN. After Becky had decided to make that gargantuan shift, the most affected were her other talents with live contracts in GMA-7. While Angel had escaped the wrath, the other prominent talent of Becky, Jennylyn Mercado, was left with abandoned projects and a potential bypass of the remaining three or four years in her GMA contract since the network had since refused to ever talk to Becky again.
While Becky had placed the blame on GMA for being an “unchristian” employer, an objective eye would always consider the move as extremely risky for someone in the business of talent management, unless her business revolves around just one talent. But, no, Becky has other talents, who gave their full trust in her expertise and connections. Now, they are all floating, waiting perhaps for the Kapamilya network to give out their “entry visas.” But of course, ABS-CBN can’t take them all. Good thing Valerie Concepcion still made that slim cut. Valerie now co-hosts ABS-CBN’s noontime show “Wowowee” with Willie Revillame, Mariel Rodriguez, and Pokwang.
This Jennylyn can’t do–jumping to ABS-CBN like what Angel or Valerie did. She still has a live contract with GMA-7 for the next few years. The only recourse for Jennylyn was to arrange for a “semi-release” from Becky. This means, GMA-7 will speak directly to Jennylyn for television projects, allowing the first Starstruck grand female champion to receive the entire talent proceeds from negotiations. But Becky can still negotiate for Jennylyn’s projects outside of GMA-7, like film projects or concerts.
According to Jennylyn she would rather be released by Becky than be dumped by GMA-7:
“Siyempre kahit sinong tanungin niyo, oo siguro yung sagot,” Jennylyn told GMA-7’s “Startalk” in a taped interview aired Saturday.
“Ayoko nang pumasok ulit sa problema pang hindi naman ako ang may kasalanan. So ngayon sana huwag uli ako madamay. Trabaho na ulit ako sa GMA. Loyal naman ako sa GMA eh. Thankful ako sa kanila na binigyan uli ako ng opportunity after all.”
Jennylyn will make her GMA-7 “Telebabad” primetime block comeback soon with the drama “La Vendetta” opposite Sunshine Dizon, Jean Garcia, Rustom Padilla and Mark Herras. She made her last appearance in primetime through the GMA-7 fantasy series “Super Twins” early this year.

Comment on Snooky Cerna,
I Think Snooky ay wala na syang magawa pa sa buhay. Sabi nya na rape nong age of 14 pa at eto na naman sinasabihan na naman na plastic si ai ai at gerald. bakit ngayon lang sya lumalabas at sinasabi nya lahat. I think nagpapa pansin lang sya at laos na. magsalamin ka nga ms. cerna.
thanks

What Snooky Serna is doing is terribly pitiful…Does she really has to resort to this thing para lang mapagusapan?You were given chances to make a comeback several times already but you’re the one doing digging your own grave. Get a life! What a shame…what a waste!
shang0506
good decision, jennylyn. better stay with GMA coz u have a good bundle of competitors in ABS. It’s flooded with the beautiful and talented, baka lalo hindi ka mapansin dun.

Ms. Boston
Hi this is for Snooky, ganun talaga ang tao pag alam nila na wala ka na they will treat you like a crap, anyway, pana-panahon lang yan, they don’t stay that long in the limelight, they don’t even have brains to begin with, plus who knows kung ano ang kapalit para lang maging artista, phils. have alot of celebrities na walang ka- talent talent nowadays, compared to the olden times. I have seen celebrities before that you can consider the legends and you are one of them. I wish you goodluck!!! sana ma-overcome mo yung problema sa buhay mo!!! nobody will gonna help you except yourself!!! stand up and face the world with pride. Who cares if you are a rape victim ” Big Deal”??there are a lot of rape victimes here who are very successful in their career, including celebrities, my big example is “OPRAH” who is the first black woman billionaire in the world.

You can’t blame jennelyn for saying these things. She’s right, she is caught in the middle of a fight that she has not done any participation. She has a life to live, bills to pay and enough is enough. Becky Aguila should have completely released Jennylen as her talent because Jennylen has to survive like everyone else does.

Regarding snooky serna, my gosh, what is she thinking, she looks pathetic, she sounds emotionally troubled, what is she thinking going into these controversial nonsense, she is not thinking she has two beautiful girls, what are their classmates saying about their mom? How pathetic, she had so many blessings compared to millions of underpriviledged Filipinos and yet she wasted all, she is so unrespectable, she commands respect from Gerard, but she is acting immature and I guess if you are that financially desperated, you would act like her just to survive, I guess now it confirms Albert Martinez did the right thing by not walking down the aisle with her. It must have been a relief for Albert now.

For Snooky Serna,
Alam mo naaawa ako sayo, kasi lahat ng sinabi mo alam mo sa sarili mo na di totoo, sana tama na kung gusto mong gumanda ang buhay mo at ito ang paraan para mapag-usapan ka at magkaroon ulit ng career nagkakamali ka lalo mo lang nilalayo ang sarilimo sa tagumpay mo, isipin mo na lang ang mga anak mo maawa ka sa kanila dahil sila ang lubos na naaapektuhan sa lahat ng issue na ginagawa mo kung ayaw mong tumahimik ang buhay mo bigyan mo ang ibang tao ng katahimikan at specially ang mga anak mo. Hwag kang mabuhay sa kasinungalingan may karma yan sa bandang huli kaya’t hanggang maaga magsisi ka na.
to GERALD and MS. AIAI goodluck at tama lang ginawa ninyo na di na pahabain ang issue na ito kasi alam naman ninyo na KSP siya (kulang sa pansin). WE LOVE YOU
Janna
Hey Jennelyn, mahiya ka nga. Bakit mo ba inaaway si Angel? You should stop your pathetic nonsense. It was Angel’s choice to move to ABS-CBN at kung nadamay man ang career mo, you should be blaming GMA for doing this to you earlier and not Becky. GMA deliberately did this to you para makapaghiganti sila kay Becky. Gosh…you’re calling yourself loyal to GMA…nakakaloka ka…

well, we all are human beings with all our weak and strong points at certain times. Like Snooky, we all have times we do things for reasons that it is called my our feelings and emotions. Later, we regret for having expressed them, at cetain times and places. But what has been done has been done, we only have to face the consequence of our action. For Snooky, just keep going. I know you know what you have done, what needs to be corrected and done to reach what you want. For Ai-ai and Gerald and others, let’s not judge and condemn. Let’s us understand those who needs our understanding,be it Snooky for what she had said, for Ai-Ai and Gerald to understand why such reaction was given.

angel locsin’s move to rival abs-cbn paved the way for her fall (fallen angel)! that’s too bad for a rising star that she was. more people got turned off because of her ingratitude. less people would support (as more would rather boycott) her projects now. everyone i know (family and friends included) who adored her thru her tv soaps over gma 7would rather tune in to whatever rival program she was up against. there are implications and rumors we heard from rich guy friends that she’s a highly paid whore! hope viewers especially kids be wary in supporting such a badass!
becky pascual
the phils’ biggest losers - angel locsin and piolo pascual should retire from making tv shows or movies this early and retreat to afghanistan! filipinos are sick and tired of fake celebrities deceiving the fans all these years. piolo for playing it straight and angel locsin for putting a nice wholesome image that she’s not. she’s such a rotten tomato and he a lousy wag!
beh buti nga
wawa angel locsin and piolo pascual! a crappy pair with shitty stuffs! as JDV says, back-off, back-off! lubog na lobo for piolo, burst na bubble ni angel! goodbye angel, and good riddance piolo! hope NOT to see the two of you ever again!!!
cyberphil
wow! what a coincidence, used to like piolo a lot but got disappointed when i learned about the eric quizon / sam milby espisodes including that not so popular actor, forgot his name. as for angel, hearing some not-so-nice rumor about his escorting gigs didnt help at all. good luck to them. given these odds would be extremely difficult to rise above all this!!!
ADMIN
para lang poh kay snooky, ang masasabi ko po lang ay igalang na lang natin ang nararamdaman niya …. that’s all right ehhh kung nag sori na pala siya edi patawarin mo na lang ….. this is just an advice …. hindi naman sa mas favor ako kay Gerald …..
