Here’s the message of Bituin Escalante to Elizabeth Oropesa
BITUIN ESCALANTE – The singer gave a message to award-winning actress Elizabeth Oropesa following her claims that artists supporting Vice President Leni Robredo have “TF” or talent fees.
Oropesa is one of the staunch supporters of former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
Bongbong Marcos or BBM will run for president in the coming elections together with his runningmate, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio. They will go against the tandem of; Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and Doc Willie Ong, Senator Manny Pacquiao and Buhay partylist representative, Lito Atienza as well as Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson and Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III.
Recently, Elizabeth Oropesa declared that artists supporting BBM are not being paid while well-known personalities who perform in Vice President Leni Robredo’s grand rallies receive “TF” or talent fees.
“Ipapaputol ko ‘yung dalawa kong paa. Gagapang na lang ako kung binabayaran kaming mga artista kay BBM.” ani Oropesa. “Natutuwa ako para dun mga artistang kinukuha nila (Robredo) kasi sigurado ako may TF. E sa atin walang TF,” Oropesa said.
Her statement generated comments and among those who reacted is no other than singer, Bituin Escalante.
In a tweet, she’s hoping that Oropesa would respect the truth that celebrities supporting Robredo are not paid.
“Ma’am hindi ko po hihingin na putulin niyo ang dalawa niyong paa. Respeto lang po sa aming mga boluntaryong nagpe-perform para kay VP. Hindi po kami bayaran. Wala po ni isa samin ang binayaran,” Escalante said.
Oropesa has yet to respond to the message of Bituin Escalante.
It can be recalled that one of Robredo’s allies, senatorial candidate Antonio Trillanes IV, promised that they would return the ABS-CBN franchise if they won.
This was cited as the alleged reason why some celebrities are supporting the opposition.
