Film director Paul Soriano allegedly had ‘tantrums’ at the presser for Fil-Am Holywood star Vanessa Hudgens.
On Friday, March 31, Hudgens faced the Philippine media at the Manila House in BGC for the press conference of her upcoming documentary The Awakening directed by the Presidential Creative Communications Adviser Paul Soriano.
After Hudgens’ interview with Boy Abunda, Soriano allegedly got irritated, according to Salve Asis in her Pilipino Star Ngayon article published on April 1.
Based on the article, Soriano suddenly cut off the supposed one-on-one interview of Hudgens with several media organizations and uttered he need not the press.
“Pagkatapos ng presscon hosted by tito Boy Abunda kahapon sa isang lugar sa BGC kung saan ay may mga nakapila para sa one-on-one interview ng ilang TV programs ay biglang nagalit si Direk Paul Soriano at pinatapos ang interview.
“Narinig ng ibang andun pa like Christine Jacob ang mga naganap na maagang dumating sa venue pero nang turn na niyang mag-interview kay Vanessa na willing gumawa ng pelikula sa bansa ay biglang nakitang nagagalit ang director at parang gustong paalisin ang press na andun.”
Allegedly, the Malacañang adviser wanted her wife Toni Gonzaga to have the one-on-one interview for her YouTube show Toni Talks.
“Pagkatapos ng mga pangyayari ay na-interview na si Vanessa ng misis niyang si Toni Gonzaga,” Asis shared.
Hudgens was recently named the Global Tourism Ambassador for the Philippines. The documentary is part of her role in promoting her Filipino roots in a global stage.
