On January 26, actor-vice governor Ejay Falcon clarified that he is not under contract with Star Magic.
At the media conference Walang Matigas na Pulis sa Matinik na Misis Season Two, which LionhearTV covered, Falcon highlighted that Star Magic, while not under contract with the talent management arm, was understanding when he asked permission to take on the Kapuso project.
“Actually, technically, parang hindi ko na–wala po akong contract sa Star Magic. Technically, wala po akong contract sa kanila. Pero kasi, more on ano po kasi ‘yun eh, ‘yung mga tao rin po sa ABS-CBN at sa Star Magic, ay talagang Kapamilya ko na rin po. So alam mo ‘yun, napaka-understanding nilang mga tao. Hindi naman sila ‘yung parang selfish na ‘wag kang ipahiram. Eh kailangan din natin ng trabaho. So ganon.”
He then noted some of his recent projects outside of the Kapamilya network.
“And alam din naman nila na si Ejay, mag-eexplore din sa ibang mga productive people, sa ibang environment, iba’t-ibang network. Kahit noong pandemic, nakapagtrabaho ako sa TV5. Nakatrabaho ko rin si Beauty di ba? ‘Yung Paano ang Pasko, noong pandemic ‘yun, during pandemic nag-trabaho din ako sa TV5, sa IdeaFirst Production.”
He then appreciated the recent changes wherein artists can work with different production teams and networks.
“At sana, magtuloy-tuloy ‘yung ganitong sistema na pwede tayong makapagtrabaho sa iba’t-ibang network. ‘Yun ang masaya eh, na nakakatrabaho mo ‘yung iba’t-ibang artista. ‘Yung ibang mga production people.”
