Like mother, like daughter? That’s what the public sees on Ruffa Gutierrez after scolding Riza Santos during one of their taping nights of the new romantic comedy series of ABS-CBN, “I Love Betty La Fea” which stars Bea Alonzo as Beatriz Pinzon Solano and John Lloyd Cruz as Armando Solis.
According to monster moms’ only daughter, Ruffa Gutierrez who made her statement last Sunday in “The Buzz” hosted by Boy Abunda, Cristy Fermin and herself, the Fil-Canadian beauty queen and ex-Pinoy Big Brother celebrity edition housemate, Riza Santos came very late to the set of the said primetime series which aired its pilot episode last night, August 08. According to Ruffa, “Last ekesena ko na ‘yun, So gusto ko na talaga umuwi kasi I wasn’t feeling that well, at saka siyempre, gusto ko naman makasama sina Lorin and Venice (her two daughters from former husband, Ylmas Bektas) kaya parang excited na din ako umuwi kasi kokonti lang ‘yung mga eksena ko for that day.”
Ruffa Gutierrez also added that the call time given to the Fil-Canadian Riza Santos who now turned as a full time actress was 7:00 PM but unfortunately, the sexy pinay celebrity showed up at around 11:00 PM. Cast and crews who have waited Riza for merely 4 hours that night got more intimidated when Riza did not even bother to greet them even the director of the show when she arrived in the set. “Ayoko na sana palakihin ‘to pero ang sakin lang naman, you know, sana just say ‘hi’ naman to your co-stars, say ‘hi’ to your director, mga kasamahan mo. Kasi ‘yun ang itinuro saakin ng mga magulang ko e, na kailangan lahat ng mga senior stars, lahat ng mga kasamahan mo sa showbiz, kailangan batiin mo para pakikisama.” Ruffa explained.
Annable Rama’s daughter also pointed out that the lead stars of the series, Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz never came late from each and every taping day of “I Love Betty La Fea”. She even praised the two young stars for their professionalism, humbleness and kindness by giving courtesy to all of the cast and crews even though they are already considered as superstars. Ruffa Gutierrez insists that Riza Santos should have even offered an explanation and apology for the delays she had caused for the entire production. Still controlling her temper, Ruffa observed for at least an hour after Riza had finished her scene waiting for the Fil-Canadian beauty queen to explain her side but surprisingly, Riza still managed to ignore the whole incident. “I stood up, I said, Okay, bye everyone, bye!” Ruffa then turned around to the face of Riza Santos telling her, “You know Riza, next time, don’t make anyone wait, if you wanna’ make it in this business, be professional!” Ruffa said in a grouchy way. Ruffa left the set while Riza Santos still managed to be speechless after hearing Ruffa’s advices.
According to VIVA, the company which manages Riza’s career, it was just a case of miscommunication between them and the whole production team. Riza just arrived that night from Macau for some work engagements. They also defended her from the statement of Ruffa Gutierrez about the tardiness of the sexy pinay celebrity. They said that Riza Santos was never informed about her call time for the said taping of “I Love Betty La Fea”.

Ruffa should remember that she along with Judy Ann, Gretchen and Claudine made the entertainment press wait for hours in the press con of Pantene. So, she’s not authorized to lecture Rizza on professionalism. Ang kapal ng fez, pwede ba!

O di ba Lambing affected daw talaga ako! Kaasar kasi yang si Ruffa, she’s beginning to act like her mom. I think she’s jealous of Rizza coz she’s younger at mas maganda. Chizmiz:)

Kidding aside, baka nga hindi cia informed, in that case, ipinapahamak nila ang artista nila…tama bang hindi ipaalam sa kanya ang commitments nya?

that was very unprefessional of Ms. Santos. she should also learn the virtue of “pakikisama.” very important if she wants to stay long in show business.

@gmac
kya pla d ka masyado nagpaparamdam lately, anyway congrats your back
We’ve also watched the movie Tokyo drift, unfortunately we wasn’t able to finish it, are you pertaining to Nikki Griffin (Blond gurl)?
@Salve
You’re right, I think “pakikisama” virtue should be practice in any place
