Rainier Castillo Transferred to TV5 From GMA-7

The first ever Starstruck First Prince Rainier Castillo had left GMA-7 where he first started and transferred to the reinforced TV 5. Rainier Castillo was one of the newest TV 5 talents who was introduced in last night's Trade Launch at the World Trade Center. According to TV 5, Rainier's transfer was a last minute decision. Rainier and his mom had a meeting with GMA Artist Center headed by Ms. Ida Henares to clarify wether Rainier will have a new show after "Full House" but GMAAC could'nt give any answer so they decided to accept TV 5's offer. So officially, Rainier Castillo is now on TV 5.

"Actually kasi, ang gumawa talaga ng first move ay ang mommy ko," pagsisiwalat niya. "After ng Full House namin, umakyat kami sa Artist Center at nakipag-meet kami. Nagtanong kami kung ano ang next project. E, medyo wala naman silang maisagot sa amin and since ako yung breadwinner ng family, siyempre, kailangan kong maghanap ng trabaho. Kung hindi, wala kaming makakain.

"Noong meeting namin, parang sinabi ni Ma'am Ida [Henares, GMA Artist head] na hindi ko naman daw po ibinibigay ang best ko kaya hindi sila makapagbigay ng guaranteed shows sa akin."

I feel so bad that GMA-7 let Rainier Castillo transfer to TV 5. Rainier was a homegrown Kapuso, he started in Starstruck and he was so popular during that time because of his F4 looks. It was also because of Rainier why the first batch of Starstruck which consists of Mark Herras, Jennylyn Mercado and Yasmien Kurdi was so popular and phenomenal, now the Starstruck batch 1 is falling one by one, I wander who will transfer next.

This is the problem with GMA, the winners of their talent search are not been given the right break, they won alright give their prices and a little opportunity to be seen on TV but after that their careers become mediocre. How about the latest winners of Starstruck Sarah Labhati and Steven Silva? They've won over a month ago but still have'nt seen them. Did GMA-7 sign them a five year contract just to be frozen delights? GMA-7 are not taking advantage of the time while their Starstruck winners are still hot. Mismanagement of talents, this is the problem with GMA-7.
