“ To be honest I was frustrated with the timeslot that was given to Panday ,” he confessed at the “ It Takes Gutz to be a Gutierrez ” news conference on Monday . “ Ang usapan namin magkakaro ’ n ng fixed timeslot , but as soon as we started airing ( in February ), our timeslot kept on moving .”
“ Ako mismo as Panday hindi ko alam kung ipapalabas ba kami ngayong gabi , anong oras . So medyo frustrating for me ang set up na ‘ yon ,” he added .

Richard Gutierrez frustrated over erratic timeslot of Panday
“ I try to just focus on my work ,” he said . “ Tina-try namin ni direk [ Mac Alejandre ] na talagang pagandahin ang show despite ‘ yong mga nagiging problema na hindi namin kayang kontrolin .”
Richard said a factor affecting the show ’ s airing is the falling out of TV5 and Viva Entertainment due to management disagreements following an attempted partnership on shows .
“ I was excited about that until it turned out to be in short terms ,” he said .
Despite all what Kapatid network is going through , Richard still hopes that TV5 will soon figure out a fixed timeslot for his show .
Besides working on Ang Panday , Richard will soon discuss his upcoming film with Viva . The fourth season of “ It Takes Gutz to be a Gutierrez ” will also start airing

Jay-R Siaboc , best known for his stint on Pinoy Dream Academy , has admitted that the mistakes he made in the early part of his career left him depressed and made him turn to drugs .

Siaboc said that he decided to abandon his singing career at a personal low point . “ Nagkakaroon ako nang sala sa maraming tao dahil sa mga maling desisyon ko ,” he said , adding that he decided to return to his hometown in Cebu after wasting his money .
“ Before po ako napunta ng ABS , taga-probinsya lang ako , inosenteng-inosente . Tapos sa isang iglap lang ay nasa akin lahat : pera , fame --na-overwhelm ako sa mga nangyayari at hindi ko alam kung paano i-handle iyon . ... Hindi ko napahalagaan iyong mga blessings na dumating sa akin .”
Siaboc said he tried to start over . He became a father and took local gigs as a band singer . “ Kaya naisipan ko umuwi para hindi lalong masira iyong pangalan ko , hanapin ko ulit iyong sarili ko kasi nawala na talaga ako ,” he said .
