- After staying with Star Magic for seven years, Coleen Garcia made a switch when she decided to sign a management contract with the Viva Artists Agency
- Garcia emphasized that her transfer was something she thought of for a long time
- Star Magic talent management understands Coleen’s decision to transfer to Viva Agency
Coleen Garcia recently transferred to the Viva Artists Agency. The actress was previously with the ABS-CBN Star Magic group of talents and, after careful thought, finally made up her mind to change management.
The transfer of Coleen was quite surprising knowing that she has been under the care of Star Magic for seven years, but she clarified that her exit has not kept any bad blood with the management. According to PEP.ph, when she was asked about her previous talent center, she confidently said that they are in good terms.
“Okay naman po. Actually, I was surprised. Walang bad feelings talaga and nobody got hurt or got offended, kasi yun talaga ang kinakatakot ko, kasi I’m not confrontational.”
Coleen shared that she felt heavy and frightened before entering the office of Star Magic, but when she got out she was relieved as she didn’t expect that the management will be very understanding.
“Takot talaga ako, when I walked in sa office. Ang bigat [ng pakiramdam] ko. Paglabas ko ang gaan, kasi I didn’t expect them to be so understanding, kasi naiintindihan din naman nila, especially now that I’m married na, I really have to decide for myself, especially when it comes to career.”
She said that she had a talk with Mariole Alberto, one of the big bosses of the talent management.
“Ever since naman the start of my career, lalo na whenever may mga problema, talagang si Miss. Binibilang ko yung mga [Star Magic] Ball ko, kasi yung first Ball ko, hindi pa ako nakapirma sa kanila, so kung ilan yung Star Magic Ball ko.”
Coleen claimed that she has a debt of gratitude to Star Magic for it was the first talent management to have handled her career path.
“Actually, Star Magic talaga ang first management ko my whole life, commercial model pa lang ako when I started. And I never signed with anybody. Freelance talaga ako ever since. So, they were really my first management, dun talaga ako nag-start sa kanila.”
