Annabelle Rama as MTRCB chair? Not likely, says daughter Ruffa

Is this why Annabelle Rama met with incoming President Rodrigo Duterte in Davao City?

According to Pep.ph, there are rumors that the fiesty matriarch of the Gutierrez family has been offered the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) chairmanship.

How true? In a press conference on Thu, Jun 2, Annabelle’s daughter Ruffa Gutierrez said she could not confirm the rumors, and added that she does not think her mother is interested in the position.

“Sabi lang ni Mommy na, if ever, hindi siya interesado because she don’t wanna stay in a room watching movies all day and all night,” Ruffa told Arniel Serato of Pep.ph.

Ruffa also said Annabelle feels being the head of MTRCB will put her at odds with movie producers, most of whom are her friends.

“So I don’t think she’s interested and maybe…I don’t think it was even offered to her,” she said.

In a previous interview, Annabelle did say she isn’t interested in holding a position in government despite being friends with Duterte.

But it should be noted that the talent manager once had political aspirations (after all, the Ramas are a political family in Cebu). Annabelle ran for Congress in the 1st Distrct of Cebu City but lost to Raul del Mar.
