RUFFA AND KRIS's RECONCILIATION - ANOTHER SOAP OPERA?

The two well-known actresses and TV personalities, Kris Aquino and Ruffa Gutierrez, reconciled publicly on TV following their disputes originating from last week’s episode of the TV show “The Buzz.” Before today’s episode of the same show, Kris Aquino already released a public apology statement to Ruffa and her family for causing distress and pain. Ruffa later issued a statement accepting the apology of Kris Aquino and apologized to the latter as well for over-reacting.

What is my reaction to this kind of hullabaloo between two pretty actresses? This is a well-staged publicity for both of them.

They claim to have known each other and have been friends for 23 years; at least Kris said that in one of her interviews after that TV spectacle was aired on national television. If they were really friends, they should know when is the other person joking or serious about something. As I’ve watched the verbal exchanges that they had in the show, I can tell that Kris was only being playful and teasing Ruffa on the set. She might have exaggerated the teasing a bit which probably infuriated Ruffa, as seen from her facial expressions.

Oh well, this non-sense could have died after the taping if not for the call received by Ruffa from her mother. Of course Annabel Rama can not help herself from scrubbing in the issue, making it worst than it’s supposed to be. She called on the people not to vote on Kris’s brother, Nonoy Aquino, who is seeking the presidential post in the coming national election.

What do they get from this TV manipulation? It gave them an extra media exposure for Ruffa and another crying-on-TV episode for Kris. What do you think?
