Birthday boy Jobert Sucaldito
After having been in an awkward position when Willie Revillame asked for his expulsion from ABS-CBN, showbiz writer and talk show host Jobert Sucaldito voluntarily resigned from the Sunday afternoon showbiz oriented talk show The Buzz. Jobert severed ties with The Buzz after 11 fruitful years.
Like anybody who was shocked by the news, I am sure my Remedial Law classmate Charles David Icasiano, whose father is an executive judge, will be shocked to hear this news as well.
In his column for a local tabloid, Jobert said that he felt “unwanted” and “unneeded” since the showbiz talk show reformatted last month. The showbiz talk show was forced to effect a reformat when the Queen of All Media herself left the program.
“When Kris left the show, parang nataranta ang mga boss namin. Parang sina Toni and Charlene na lang ang iniisip nila. Kami, kung saan-saan na lang itinatapon. I hate that feeling. Sa tanda ko ba namang ito sa industriya ay ipipilit ko pa ba ang sarili ko? Hindi naman ako trying hard, ‘no!” Jobert blurted.
He further mentioned that Boy Abunda had to request executives of the show to include Jobert in the weekly run.
“Alam ko namang mahal nila ako but I hate lang the feeling na kung kailan lang nila maisip na isali ako sa show, du’n lang nila ako papupuntahin. Kung talagang gusto ka nilang ipasok sa show, kaydaling gawan ng paraan iyon… Iyon ay kung mahalaga ka nga? Pero sino nga ba naman ako kumpara kina Charlene at Toni, aber?” he added.
Jobert related having a conversation with the show’s executive producer, Nancy Yabut, on August 28.
“Nancy told me that yesterday’s [August 29] show kumbaga was full – half of which ay tungkol kay Ma. Venus Raj and half of the show ay para sa promo ng ‘Sa ’Yo Lamang.’ Sabi ni Nancy sa akin, next Sunday na lang ako pumunta sa ‘The Buzz,’ meaning, hindi ako kasali sa show kahapon. Wala naman akong magagawa, ‘di ba? Alangan namang ipagpilitan ko ang sarili kong sumali sa show when I know that I’m not needed,” he narrated.
Nevertheless, Jobert will remain to be a Kapamilya since he still has a radio program with dZMM 630.
Do you think Jobert made the right decision to forgo of his lone television show?
