Cherie Gil walks out of the ‘Ikaw Lamang’ set

We wonder what really happened.

Dreamscape publicity head Eric John Salut confirmed on Thursday, Mar 27, that actress Cherie Gil walked out of the set of the ABS-CBN soap Ikaw Lamang.

Gil plays Miranda, the mother of Franco (Jake Cuenca), in the TV show.

On his Twitter and Facebook accounts, Salut explained that “Gil wanted to leave the set of Ikaw Lamang at 10pm to attend a send-off party even though she was supposed to shoot her scenes until 2am.”

Salut was quoted as saying, “To set the record straight: Cherie Gil is supposed shoot her scenes till 2AM (the usual cut off) but she wanted to leave at 10PM to attend a send off party. Siyempre, hindi siya pinayagan ng production kasi hindi siya nagpaalam ahead of time.”

He added: “She was permitted to a 2-week leave for her musical play. The day she walked out of the taping was the day she resumed taping for Ikaw Lamang. Why blame the production? Why blame the writers? This is not fair! Teka lang ha.”

Gil tweeted her response, asking, “Work ethics? Why can’t it exist in the world of soaps?”

We’re pretty sure showbiz talk shows will fully dissect this issue.
