Charo Santos chicharon lang ang talent fee bilang co-host ni Kuya Germs
Charo Santos
INALALA ng showbiz icon at dating presidente ng ABS-CBN na si Charo Santos ang pagiging co-host noon sa programa ni German “Kuya Germs” Moreno sa GMA 7 na “Germspesyal”.
Makalipas ang ilang dekada, muling nakapasok sa GMA Network building si Charo para sa guesting niya sa “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda”.
Kasama niyang bumisita sa programa ng King of Talk na si Boy Abunda nitong Biyernes, May 16, kasama si Dingdong Dantes para sa promo ng kanilang pelikula na “Only We Know”.
Kuwento ng award-winning veteran actress, siya raw ang unang co-host ng yumang TV host at star builder sa Sunday morning variety program ng GMA 7 noong 1979 na “Germspesyal.”
Chika ni Charo, wala pa raw siyang natatanggap na talent fee noon, ang natatandaan niya ay ginigibsung siya ng production ng chicharon after ng show.
“That was my first show here. I was the first co-host of the late German Moreno. Before it became GMA Supershow, it was called Germspesyal.
“I would come here every Sunday and do the hosting chore with him.

“Tapos nung araw, wala pang talent fee. You have to do everything on your own. That’s why it also trained me to be self-reliant and to be independent.
“I remember, after the show, binibigyan ako ng isang basket ng chicharon. Yun na yung talent fee.
“I think ex-deals or whatever. I didn’t know any better. I never had a manager so I was doing things on my own,” natatawang chika ng aktres.
Pero kahit daw chicharon lang ang TF niya noon sa naturang show, “I had fun doing it. Siguro mga three months, and then after three months, basta one Sunday, he gave me a small amount.
“Sabi ko, ‘Ay, may talent fee na! Siguro the advertising revenues are coming in. Maybe so.
“Now that I understand television, sometimes you start a show without ad revenues,” pagbabalik-tanaw pa ni Charo.
Paglilinaw naman ng dating pangulo ng Kapamilya Network, nanalo na siya ng best actress sa 1977 Asian Film Festival para sa pelikulang Itim bago siya nakasama sa show ni Kuya Germs.
“I think I already won one best actress for Itim, and I was in the crossroads, choosing between pursuing acting or going into hosting,” chika pa ni Charo Santos.
