SPORTS AND ALL

This reader, PH believes sports reporter Astil Renn is getting a raw deal over at CNC 3, and Joel Villafana could do with some more polishing.

"Joel Villafana over at TV6 you have been off to a bumper start as a Sports Presenter, quite a leap in your journalistic career - keeping it natural and looking relaxed as ever.
I am also pleased to see that with time you are realising that you are no longer a sports presenter on radio and are beginning to dramatize a little less - you are giving your face a lot less to think about as well, all the twitching of the eyes and nose is phasing into a more real experience.
It is clear that you did not want to seem amateur from day one and you may have accomplished that, but Joel can you please ask your bosses for a wardrobe allowance?

"A casual approach to presenting your sports cast works for you, but a more executive/formal appearance will compliment that style Joel. You need to upgrade your suits.
You do not look sloppy, but your Taylor is sloppy, please find another one. And while you're at it please also vary the colours, I am really tired of seeing you in that beige Jacket. Black or a dark colour would not have been so obvious, but the beige sells you out.

"Take a few lessons from Roger Sant over at CNC3.
Speaking of Roger Sant, Mr. Roger has it not dawned on you that your Sports reporter Astil Renn is a far more accomplished Sports reporter that Joel Villafana and to this day he does not get to present a sports cast on your CNC3 TV? Eh Roger? what happen you do not find him telegenic enough? Eh Roger?

"Well Roger as long as you maintain your style of presenting you have long reached the acme of your career, it's high time you give your subordinates a chance.
You present the weekly Sports Cast, the Sports Week in Review, the Week in Review, sometimes you still present the mid-day news, as if Hema and Satesh ain't good enough, you have to shove your face there too. If Shelly or Odeka can't make it you're all up in the 7:00PM News cast and you still present the Sports cast, and if Sampson can't make it for 9:30 you're all up in that too.

"So Roger, what does it take to make you realise your audience could well do with some fresh faces? Stupes!
Give yourself a break, and give Astil Renn a chance. Start grooming him for the task. You know Roger if Joel was at CNC3 he would not have been a sports presenter today? Food for thought.

"So he goes TV6 and propels ahead of Astil Renn in his career as a Sports Journalist, even though Astil knows the ropes better than he does. Think on these things Roger.
Don't get me wrong, you're good at what you do, but Roger you ought to give someone else a chance. CNC3's Sports cast was not made for you. You will go and leave it there. Make yourself proud. Give someone else a chance. I don't know how to say it again."

Well Roger, we couldn't agree more.
But then again, technically you have a boss in your wife, Rosemarie Sant who decides who will and will not read the news.
And Joel, we still think there's too much head movement when you read the sports. You need to tone it down a bit.
