On his YouTube channel named “Pinoy Lawyer Reacts”, Atty. Jesus Falcis compared the actress’ exclusive management contract with the said talent agency to “slave contracts” in other countries like South Korea.
“14 years as an exclusive talent or artist of a company in the Philippines. It’s too long. Ang haba po nu’n. Ang daming pwedeng mangyari sa loob ng 14 years. Imagine in just one year, nagka-pandemic,” Falcis said.
“So ‘yung ganu’ng klaseng mga contract, depende din sa probisyon na nakalagay sa kontrata. But the length itself, parang mga slave contracts sa South Korea na 10 to 15 years din ‘yung duration or validity ng exclusive contract between the management and the artist.”
