The showbiz news written by Joey Sarmiento on Remate calling Marian Rivera a cheapskate is one of those “ROTFLMAO” shitty rags not worth a lick to shine anyone’s boots. But here I am responding to it coz well, I’ve got nothing better to do than make someone put his foot in his mouth. Joey Sarmiento is claiming that the ratings of Tweets For My Sweet didn’t meet the expectations of GMA 7. He’s also apparently sympathizing with the production staff of Tweets For My Sweet because they were hoping to get monetary gift or whatever from Marian but they didn’t get anything.
TRADITIONALLY, the last taping day of a supposed gigantic TV series should be lavish or extravagant and gift-giving truly abounds especially if it’s coming from the star of the show. But according to the report of my intel, ironically, hindi ito nangyari sa last taping day ng Tweets for my Sweet ni Marian Rivera.
Our intel heralded that the said teleserye didn’t reach the expectation of GMA7 executives in terms of ratings and ad placements kaya medyo malungkot daw ang last taping day nila sa Coffee Belle in West Avenue, Kyusi.
We sympathize with the production assistants who were hoping to get something from Marian, either in the form of cash or in kind, na most of the time ay nagaganap sa mga last taping days but sad to say, ‘yung pagiging compassionate ni Marian sa mga nasalanta ng baha of late seems to be as phony as the three dollar bill because hindi niya ito nagawa sa mga production staff ng kanyang teleserye na kanyang nakatrabaho in one full season.
Everybody in the biz knows that Marian, being the princess of GMA7 as they say, is earning a lot of moolah from her showbiz rakets and doling out a small amount of cash as token for the staff will not cost her an arm and a leg and in fact, is a good gesture for a star like her pero hindi raw niya ginawa.
Perhaps, it is true that she is a cheapskate. In short, kuripot! (source)

Tweets For My Sweet 15.7 vs The X Factor Philippines 15% (AGB Nielsen Mega Manila Household Ratings) (compilation source)
Out of all those episodes, only 2 were low. One was when Mang Dolphy died, and when the timeslot was moved. In all fairness they were still high considering. If GMA 7 is not happy about those numbers then my golly their expectations for a weekend sitcom must be super duper high unreachable. Let’s see them have a sitcom. They might want to take their expectations down a notch, heh.
For some who’s got their own twists of why Tweets For My Sweet is bidding adieu, here are some thoughts to ponder on. Could it be that the reason Marian’s sitcom is not renewing is because she’s in preparation for her upcoming teleserye which is supposedly slated for the last quarter? Could it be that the sitcom has an original plan of only 16 weeks with the option to renew? Could it be that Marian decided not to renew coz along with her upcoming teleserye, she gosh darn enrolled herself at the The Center For Asian Culinary Studies? And then there’s still the movie with Coco Martin which hopefully she’ll start shooting SOON, like yesterday, (Hellooo Coco). And then she also has a life outside showbiz. Then at one point or another, she’ll need to sleep, right????
As for the production staff hoping for gifts from Marian, Really? I’m not going to take Joey Sarmiento’s word for it coz that would belittle the production staff. What the hell do you think they are hoping for cash or in kind after a show? Yes, gifts are nice but gifts are not something you expect or demand, they’re given. Besides, I doubt the staff are that low to expect anything in return because they were there to do their jobs and I’m pretty sure they were paid for the jobs they’ve done by their employer, GMA 7. Anong akala mo sa kanila, patay gutom?
Then Sarmiento rationalizes that because the production staff supposedly didn’t get any gifts therefore Marian’s compassion to the people affected by the flood and heavy rain lately is worth nothing? WOW AND I MEAN, WOW! Talk about jumping from A to Z, in a snap.
FYI again, ever since Tweets For My Sweet started, her co-stars receive gifts practically every taping day. Ask Barbie Forteza and all her Hello Kitty goodies. Ask Sheena Halili who gets chocolates, and all that goodies she got when Marian and Dingdong came back from Spain. Geez, do I need to mention the fact that Marian extended her help in paying for Sheena’s condo if ever she needs it?
Marian, a cheapskate? Really, let’s ask Dingdong Dantes how much his girlfriend spoils him with expensive watches, and for the love of God, a DUCATI. Yes, Joey Sarmiento, a D-U-C-A-T-I that’s worth half a million pesos (but don’t quote me on that). How about the entire family dinner she paid for at their recent trip in HK to celebrate Dingdong’s birthday?
Let’s ask Buboy Villar who paid his hospital bills when he got hurt at the Darna set? GMA 7 insisted they pay Marian back for it because it’s the rule they just can’t break. Let’s ask Buboy as well who paid the hospital when he and his brother got Dengue?
Oh get this, Marian’s Christmas party last year was by far the biggest Christmas party hosted by a celebrity for the press. So big that the people who weren’t invited by Lolit Solis got so pissed off that they’ve lost all their screws in their heads they’ve shamelessly demanded their shares at the Panday 2 pocket conference.
OK for the sake of argument let say Marian is a cheapskate or Kuripot, what the hell is wrong with what? In this kind of life when we all don’t know how the economy is going? In an industry where you can’t always be on top therefore you better be financially ready for your future? In these times with all the calamities going on that you want to help out as many people as you can. Just to be clear, I don’t believe for a second that the production staff were hoping for any kind of gifts from Marian as Joey Sarmiento has claimed. I’m pretty sure they would rather have Marian donate as much as she can to the Red Cross or whatever advocacy she’s supporting to help out for the relief and rescue.
Jeebuzz, are people that desperate to pick on Marian Rivera these days that they would just create something as asinine as being a “cheapskate?” Dyusmio Marimar!

Miss, matatamaan din ng kidlat yang Sarmiento na yan!
BRAVO DJ! Well said. You have covered everything. Sarmiento is so obvious….and he appeared to be the one who is CHEAP.
Just a cheap writter!
Marian is the most powerful, lovely, beautiful, responsible… I have heard!

God bless!
hi dexie. salamat sayong walang sawang pagtatanggol kay marian. saludo ako sayo…you really can spellout everything that we would like to say and hit the target BullsEye… i can sense there are people out there AGAIN who are so envious of marian especially on the humanitarian activitiies she has been involved with lately which earned her lots of public approval. TALENT MANAGERS of some starlets, insecure TV networks are at it again to put Marian down. They are ready to pay so much(?) to tabloid writers(with ? integrity) for the said purpose….Hoping that these people will be given time to change their ways before it is too late for them to do so…More power to you Dexie and God bless.
why are u always on marian, did u ask and she didnt give u the money or anything u guys needed. let her be and stop that crap.. think before u talk.
marian , even if ur own people dont like u, remember we love u and we pray and support u……..
just a cheap writter
Very well said Dex!
Thank you for eloquently defending our idol Marian Ms. Feisty! I too was boiling mad when I read what Sarmiento wrote. I dare not even call Sarmiento a writer, for that would be a grave insult to legitimate/ honorable writers. My take on this situation is that during Marian’s grand thank you party for the press, Samiento was one of the people Lolit Solis didn’t include to invite, thus a very bitter Sarmiento opted to attack Marian thus.
AGB ratings lang naman kasi nanalo at hindi maganda ang ratings nya sa AGB kaya na tsugi ang TFMS nya. Atsaka walang masyadong ad placements at kung meron man buy 1 take one kaya tsinugi ng GMA. Kung malakas talaga yan hindi yan tsutsugiin ng GMA, knowing GMA pera na yan. Ganyan ang business pag walang masyadong kita sa programma or lugi ang kinita sa binabayad ng mga nagsipagganap tsutsugiin. Palabas na lang nila yan na may bagong serye si Marian in fact wala pa, pati movie daw kay Coco palabas lang nila yan para hindi masabing mahina na talaga ang career nya. Sana masalba pa nila. I think nagsimula naman sila salbahin ang name ni Marian para maiingat ang career by participating sa red cross. Sana dagdagan pa nila, ganyan talaga yan kailangan pabangohin pangalan nya. Dapat mag workshop si Marian para maiba akting nya kasi lahat mga serye nya iisa lang ang style ng pag iyak nya, galaw ng mga mata nya pag umiyak at ang pag open ng bunganga nya pag umiyak at tono ng pananalita nya same lahat Marian na Marian hindi yung chracter na ginamapanan. I like marian and i watched all her projects. Kaya sana habang maaga pa kailangan pabangohin pangalan nya sa publiko which is ginagawa na nila ngayon at pangalawa ang akting nya. Thanks
Hi Heinken about what you have said I think presumption mo lang yan kc ang itinatagal naman ng isang tv show eh depende rin s story at writer , syempre pag maganda ang flow ng story tatagal yon kaya nasa boung staff ang ikakaganda nito and for god sake sunod sunod ang tv show ni marian months lang pagitan at meron na ulit na kapalit and I dont think na mag waste sila ng money out of nothing di ba, well ang nakikita ko lng talaga na nakakapagpahina sa career ni Marian is yung mga negatives news about her which is hindi mamatay matay and syempre admit it konti na lng talaga endorsement nya but i think masusurpass nya rin ito if GMA will help her to boost her career again but i agree na kailangan nya talaga na mag work shop pa I do LOVE MARIAN so much corny pero honestly i don’t watch TV pag wla syang show kaya tipid ako sa electric bill ngayon.
thank you ms.feisty for always there to defend marian, some people can say nasty comment,a lot of them dont even know the real truth. I guess no matter how much you explain to marian’s detractors its still they have those brain dead in them. mostly jealous type,which will never get them anywhere. well done to marian and to all her legions of fans and also to dongyan fans,may god bless them always.
kaya naghihirap mga artista etong mga press people at staff mga freeloaders na parating nag aantay ng libreng pagkain, regalo at pera. pag wala, they destroy you.
Hay naku, baka naman gusto lang maambunan. Kaso walang nahita. Hmp!
As a fan, I am happy and satisfied where Marian’s carreer is at right now. I am not anxious..the acting recognition can come soon with the right project. She is a good actress. All the great actresses and superstars before her went through the same stages of their showbiz lives. Not all their movies and shows were all that great.. I believe GMA gave my Marian the TFMS as a breather after doing Amaya then went right away and gave in to help GMA in their casting problem of My Beloved. She is a good natured girl that knows how to receive and give in…May utang na loob. When I was in the Phil. last Jan. I met one of the advertisers which was a nephew. Ang GMA..tibak tibak sila kay Marian.
HEINKEN…I don’t agree at all with you…what you are trying to say right now..sounds like one of those bashers…her Red Cross involvement hit me like mean words from you…..however, you are entitled to your own thoughts. Like Marian..positive attitude…always too happy and content to even dwell with negativity. She is trending all over the world, during her birthday, live audience alone, she has so many fan clubs…name a star in her generation who can still draw such crowds with so many banners and screaming fans?..and note this…. GLOBALLY.
Lastly, thanks Dixie for always on alert and on guard defending Marian to those people who are always creating non sense issues for Marian. Love you Dexie..our Feisty Mommma…!!!!
marian rivera is a good actress, what she needs is a good script and a good director, na pipiga sa kanya. yes, she may no longer have many advertisements, but she had her day, talagang ganyan sa showbiz and it is not her fault because me manager naman sya to take care of that. pati sa advertisement industry, me politics din. sa tingin ko lng, viva boss del rosario ang nakakakopo ng mga advertisements sa mga alaga nya. never mind, talagang ganyan. am hoping for the day that mga tulad ng sarmiento na yan, dumating ang araw na makarma sya, digital na ngayon ang karma.
