Johnny Manahan: “We never wanted to be ‘independent’ of ABS-CBN”
Johnny Manahan clarified that he never thought that Star Magic was a separate company from ABS-CBN.
He said he respects the top “bosses” of the ABS-CBN corporation who have the “last say” in Star Magic.
That is why, as the head of Star Magic then, he directly contacted the network big boss for anything related to managing the network’s in-house talents.
Known as Mr. M, Johnny Manahan is a respected star maker and TV director of the Philippine entertainment industry.
“To be perfectly clear, we never wanted to be ‘independent’ of ABS-CBN. We just wanted to be left alone to do our job and report only to one person at ABS-CBN,” he said.
Meanwhile, Johnny Manahan divulged in a previous interview the reason why he left the Kapamilya Network.
According to Mr. M, a major impetus for his resignation was the construction of a “shadow talent center” separate from Star Magic.
Mr. M and the staff of Star Magic are gradually losing their pool of talents because of this.
Johnny Manahan cited at one point how Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) jumped into managing the career of its ex-housemates which is supposed to be the work of Star Magic.

Tama lang na umalis si Mr.M sa ABias dahil walang kwenta at demonyo ang mga bosses jan.
Look at what they did sa TV5 noontime show he manages, ABias merged with TV5 for the rehash of ASAP without them knowing. Now, they were left hanging in the air.
Shitty people.
