Dabarkads kay Lea: Hindi kasalanan ang pagiging mababaw!

Lea Salonga must read Arnel Ramos’s aria which makes a lot of sense.

“PROUD TO BE “MABABAW”: By this time, one expects Tony and Olivier winner Lea Salonga to be astute and sensitive enough to know na may tamang panahon ang pagpapaka-profound.

“Bigla tuloy naalala ng sambayanan na before Miss Saigon and Sana Maulit Muli, you appeared in Puto. Grabe, ang lalim kaya ng pelikulang ‘yun. Hindi ko pa rin maarok ’til now.”

That was Arnel’s simple yet tagos sa pusong aria. Oo nga naman. Before you made a mark as an international Broadway singer, and world renowned at that, you were once in a “mababaw” kind of film.

Actually, using mababaw is an indirect swipe to people who hardly watch English shows, who hardly knew Broadway and the like. Mababaw, to us, is a very condescending word.

Kahapon, inilabas namin ang “kababawan” post ni Lea sa social media na pinaniniwalaan ng marami na patama sa AlDub. Kaliwa’t kanan ang natanggap niyang pamba-bash from netizens.

But she denied na sina Alden at Yaya Dub ang tinutukoy niya. Hindi raw siya aware about AlDub.

Kalat na: Lea tinawag na kababawan ang pagkaadik ng mga pinoy sa AlDub

LEA Salonga found herself being at the center of hate when she tweeted, “Okay lang sa akin ang kababawan, pero hanggang doon na lamang ba tayo? #NagtatanongLangPo.”

Some people on social media took it to mean that she’s taking a swipe at the Eat Bulaga love team, AlDub.

 Tila nag-panic ang mga tao sa kanyang comment kaya naman todo bash sila sa world renowned singer.

Many of them cited the love team’s observance of family values. They collectively rammed on Lea’s throat that AlDub is a very positive team-up as they espouses good values on the youth.

Feeling defensive, Lea tweeted, “Ang daming judgmental at defensive dito. Haaaaay, di niyo na-gets ang tweet ko. “For those of you that replied about BALANCE, you rock my world.

That’s what I was after. We all need fun, but that can’t be all there is. Gusto ko sanang isipin na malinaw na ang aking pagpapaliwanag,” dagdag pa ng singer.

She denied having an idea na may malaki palang ganap sa Eat Bulaga last Saturday, saying, “Uhmmm… I have no idea what’s going on. Why did people assume I was tweeting about AlDub? I wasn’t.

I don’t know about it. So why the hate? “Only now am I finding out that today was a significant day. I honestly had zero idea anything was going on! My tweet was pure coincidence!”

Then, she pleaded, “So stop the hatred, the negative assumptions, whatever you’re throwing at me. Just send me links so I know what the fuss is about.”

It was not clear, however, kung sino at ano ang tinutukoy ni Lea na kababawan. It would certainly make her defense more effective kung tinukoy niya kung ano ang sinasabi niyang kababawan.

But she didn’t, the reason why people on social media were enraged. Gets mo Lea?

Lea nagpaputol ng buhok, may pinagdaraanan?

LUMIPAD papuntang New York, USA ang Broadway Diva na si Lea Salonga right after ng grand finals ng The Voice Kids kung saan isa siya sa mga coach last Monday. Balik-Broadway si Lea at next year na siya ulit mapapanood sa The Voice for the blind auditions.


“Alis na ako tomorrow for New York and I’ll have this entire season. Ibabaon ko, masarap na baon ‘to habang ako’y matagal na mawawala,” lahad ni Lea referring to TVK.
Nakausap namin si Lea sa red carpet ng The Voice Kids na ginanap sa Resorts World Manila bago ang live telecast nito sa ABS-CBN last Sunday. Si Lea ang coach ng dalawa sa grand finalists na sina Esang ng Tondo at si Reynan na taga-Bukidnon.

Sad to say, si Elha Nympha mula sa Camp Kawayan ni Bamboo ang tinanghal na grand champion. Bukod kay Elha, isa pa mula sa team ng Rock Icon ang pumasok sa grand finals and that’s none other than Sassa na taga-Pampanga.

Natalo man ang mga panlaban ni Lea sa grand finals, super proud daw siya dahil sa mga nagawang pagkanta nila and their journey in the show has just been very, very inspiring.
“So, kahit ano’ng mangyari, uhm, tanggapin natin kasi ‘yun ang batayan ng mga…ng sambayanan na bumoboto. Huwag mag-alala dahil eto na ang umpisa ng mga singing career ninyo ngayong gabi. This is where it begins,” ani Lea.

Nagbigay din ng paunang mensahe si Lea para sa tatanghaling grand champion sa The Voice Kids season 2, “To whoe- ver wins, congratulations to you. You absolutely deserved it. 

Ah, enjoy the rest of the whirlwind ride.”
Tinanong din namin si Lea kung matutuloy pa ba ang movie nila ni Aga Muhlach under Star Cinema, “When I’m back for good na,” sabi ni Lea. “Kung kailan man ‘yun. I mean, I get back, and then, I think there’s some waiting time. I need, rest talaga for couple of years.”

Bumata naman ng ilang taon ang mukha ni Lea with her new hairstyle. Usually sa showbiz kapag nagpapagupit ang mga babaeng artista, may kasunod na agad na isyu na merong pinagdadaanan sa personal nilang buhay.
“Wala,” mabilis na tanggi ni Lea. “No emotional, nothing. I just wanted a change. I wanted convenience. I want that when I got up in the morning I can run up the door and my hair will be good. It’s just fun.”

Lea Salonga kinuyog ng netizens: ’Sobra ka na! Diktador…ipokrita!

Medyo marami ang naangasan sa latest tweet ni Lea Salonga. May pagka-sarcastic kasi ang

bitaw niya ng salita when she tweeted, “Just because an artist that gets into TVOP doesn’t conform to your taste, it doesn’t give you the right to bash them. Wala kang karapatan.”

Known as a very straightforward person, marami ang naloka sa mga tweets ni Lea. Kasi naman, talagang diretso ang mga messages niya, tamaan ang tamaan, magalit kung sino ang magalit.

But her recent tweet has attracted more bashers like this one who said, “Sumosobra na tong si Lea kala mo kung sinong magsalita pero kung mag bash sya tse hypokrita mo.”

“Ayan nanaman si TITA Lea. Such a pontificating, self-righteous woman. Lumaki ka kamo sa Tate where hard truths are dished out pero ikaw mismo hindi mo keri. Che!” say naman ng isa pa.

This one nailed it, “Don’t take my fan, don’t call me tita, can’t say this or that, do as I say but not as I do. Lea sounds like a hypocritical dictator.” Aray ko!

One Lea fan defended the singer and said, “Agree with Lea. Hirap sa ating mga nanonood at mga Pinoy in general, masyado tayong nagmamarunong at balat sibuyas. Pag hindi lang nakapasok or nakuha ang mga gusto, ngumangawa na agad.”

We think that since Lea opened herself on social media, talagang hindi mapipigilan na merong mam-bash sa ‘yo.

Ang napapansin lang namin, maraming celebrities ang ginagamit ang social media para i-promote ang mga activities nila – shows, concerts, mall tours, TV shows, movies. Hindi ba sila nahihiya sa ginagawa nila? Imagine, iniengganyo nila ang mga followers nila para panoorin sila. Nagmumukha silang alipin ng kanilang network sa ginagawa nila, ‘no!
Gets mo, Lea?

Hindi rin ba nakakairita na pagbukas mo sa Twitter or FB account ng mga artista ay ang daming ipino-post nila about their endorsements? Hindi ba nakakasuka ‘yon?

Ang mga artista, palaging may request sa mga followers nila. Sinasamantala nila ang kanilang kasikatan para pagkakitaan ang mga followers nila sa social media – ALL BECAUSE OF MONEY!!!
