Seems whoever wrote that article in that magazine is pretentious or plain ignoramus or a paid hack who does not understand the dynamics of Philippine show business. From a financial view, power is money and who has the money is the one who has the power. All those on the lists are basically just employees of those who have the power. The powerful people are those who produce the money to produce those shows that those talents star in. Even executives are just employees of the really powerful people.
Secondly, the listing is myopic in the sense that the gauge is based on talents of a TV station. Philippine show business is not only television but includes movies, radio, cable and theater. Did it include Mr. Tonyboy C who owns Channel 5 which is also in show business? Did it include the owners of Channel 7? So Mr. Tonyboy or Mr. Duavit are not powers in Philippine show business?
Where does Wilson Tieng comes in who owns Solar which owns the rights to Pacquio telecast and who also happens to be in the movie business which is show business? What leverage or bargaining chip do any of those talents or executives have when a big-wig, at a whim, wants to buy or sell a talent's contract overnite?
I was a movie producer before so I know what I talk about. Even actors and actresses are just employees and producers can terminate their contracts at any time. Even Steven Spielberg, an award winning Director and a multi-millionaire has to kowtow to the Hollywood powers when they have to clip his Dreamworks.
