Annabelle Rama is considering not to renew Richard Gutierrez's contract with Bench

Richard Gutierrez's mom, Annabelle Rama says she won't renew her son's contract with Bench due to unfair treatment he got. Annabelle is wondering why her son was not given a grand entrance like what Dingdong Dantes had. She feels that if the audience knew that it was Richard who was about to ramp, they would have been ready and the applause for Richard would have been greater. She also said that due to make-up, a lot of stars were not recognized. She heard people say, "Is that Richard?"

"Richard was supposed to be one of the endorsers of Jag. He should have been Angel's [Locsin] partner. I asked for Doug's [Douglas Quijano] permission, but he told me not to give up Bench since it was where Richard started. We are loyal to Bench, but look what they did to my son?" Annabelle exclaimed.
