Aiza Seguerra slams TV, movie production's 'rotten system'

MANILA, Philippines — Aiza Seguerra called for change in the system of television and movie production.

Aiza's statement came after the death of TV and movie directors Wenn Deramas and Francis Pasion last week.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Aiza said that the people behind the camera bear the brunt of the work in TV and movie productions. The actor added those who work in the industry don't complain as they are scared not to be given work.

"Malakas ang loob ng mga mga networks at film productions dahil para sa kanila, lahat dispensable. Madaling palitan ang mga umaangal ng mga taong gagawin ang lahat makapasok lang sa industriya," Aiza added.

Aiza further said the "awful system" in production will only change if everyone is willing to sacrifice for the good of everyone.

"For the meantime, habang wala pang nangyayaring pagbabago, I think malaking tulong din if we're kind to each other. Nakakabawas din sa stress yon kung harmonious ang paligid natin kesa nagsisigawan at nagmumurahan," the artist said.

"Sana maayos na ang bulok na systemang to na literal pumapatay sa mga taong nasa industriya. Kailangan magsamasama. Kailangan magkaisa kung gusto nating mabago at itama ang systema."
