Ruffa Gutierrez ‘monster’ like mom?

September 10, 2008

RUFFA Gutierrez has showed the public a glimpse of her character in the teleserye, “I Love Betty La Fea” when she made “taray” to Riza Santos.

This happened during the taping of the teleserye wherein the Pinoy Big Brother finalist arrived late. She made her co-talents and crew waiting for hours. The incident made Ruffa angry. And what Daniella Valencia (Ruffa’s character in I Love Betty.) more upset was Riza’s attitude for not being apologetic. To which the former was quoted in saying, “buti na lang hindi ako si Daniella sa totoong buhay.” As Daniella, she makes the life of Betty La Fea (Bea Alonzo) uneasy and shaky in the teleserye. In short, siya ang kontrabida sa buhay ni Betty.

Meanwhile, there was no confrontation that happened during that much-publicized incident. Accordingly, Ruffa just advised Riza to be courteous and apologetic to the staff and crew. As they say, all’s well that ends well. The issue needs not be blown out of proportion, after all. And that’s the reason why kibitzers dismiss this as just another gimik �” just like Bea Alonzo’s slip in the catwalk?

Whether it’s a gimik or not, it’s nice to know that Ruffa has kept her cool under that circumstance. She could have yelled and slapped Riza for being late. She could have done that and gotten away with it. But the former beauty queen remained so cool. She has showed what grace under pressure is all about.

Ruffa started in showbiz when she was 13 years old. She came here from the States to enter the world of showbiz. She was the typical “bratinella” during her time. But in her showbiz career, she was not accused of being unprofessional. Obviously, she has learned her lessons from her parents. Admirably, Ruffa is a good role model not only to the starlets like Riza; but also to her children. She truly defines that true beauty comes within.

As for Riza, the former beauty queen should brush up on her showbiz 101. She got involved in another controversy with Katrina Halili. Sabi niya, hindi raw niya kilala si Katrina. If you are in showbiz, you’re supposed to immerse yourself not only with the environment but also familiarize with the industry people.

As I always tell my talents, here’s my unsolicited advice to Riza: your attitude reflects you and it’s the choice you make. It be positive towards your career. And be friendly. After all, you always brag that you’re a beauty queen.

Like Ruffa, can’t you also be beautiful in and out? Just asking…
