A local magazine planned a photoshoot out of the country for the cover of its forthcoming monthly issue. Contracted for the cover was actress and endorser AE. It was to be a weekend photo shoot and fly-in for AE was set. However AE wanted to do some shopping and requested to fly-in a day earlier than previously agreed. That request meant added cost for the editorial team such as extra day for hotel accommodation, and other expenses. But they decided to give in to AE nonetheless, for goodwill sake. When AE arrived, she extended her shopping for 2 straight days, practically eating up the days scheduled for the shoot. That sent jitters for the team. As a result they had to redo the budget again.
When AE finally appeared for the shoot, she was difficult and uncooperative. During change of outfits, she did not like to do it in a powder room of a restaurant where they were (which was sparkling clean and comfortable for her) and demanded that she changed in a karaoke bar somewhere which meant added time and expense. She even insisted to take a cab going there which was just few meters away. AE was just so hard to please, she was not focused on the shoot at all. Needless to say, she was totally unprofessional making everything like hell for members of the editorial team, who were already shouting at each other how they would iron out kinks and problems brought by AE.
On their last day of stay, there was still no photo selected for the cover. As a last desperate resort, the team decided to shoot at the lobby of their hotel. But AE kept complaining about petty things like her curly baby hair that needed straightening. And worst of all, she didn't want to be made-up. The make-up artist had had enough, blew her top and exclaimed, "Hindi pwede, ano 'to group picture?!" AE sensed the anger and desperation of the team towards her. She tried to appease them and had food delivered for everyone. But when the food came, there was a collective snub, no takers. AE was dismayed. They went back to Manila feeling heavy with work results so bad, mediocre and unpresentable.
To the entire editorial team, working with AE was a nightmare no one expected. Soon there were talks that AE had an axe to grind against the magazine when they failed to book her as cover for their anniversary issue and instead gave it to another actress. But that was so shallow, according to one editor, because they did not promise her anything at all.
In hindsight, AE may not have come out a complete fool with what she did, but it is she who definitely lost in her foolish game.
