UNFAIR AS it seemed, in social circles na kanyang kinabibilangan ay minsan nang binigyan ng kahulugan ang bawat letra sa pangalan ni Tim Yap. Na ang ibig sabihin ay “’Tang Inang Mukha ‘Yan Ang Pangit!”
Of course, Tim is not pangit, although not in the league ng mga nagguguwapuhang celebrities. But, he’s a charming, adorable Chinese mestizo. Puwera pa ang katotohanang he’s “yap-dated” with the latest trends in fashion, travel, technology, business and a whole lot more dahil na rin sa kanyang mga preoccupations.
Lucky for us, we had the chance of working with Tim. With that chance came knowing what lay beneath his public image.
Initially, detached kami kay Tim. Sosyal kasi ang hitad, mukhang mahirap abutin like a heavenly body lightyears away. But the fact na ang sosyalerong celebrity has embraced the nuances and quirks—if not the katsipan—of showbiz, ibig lang sabihin that Tim is himself the Mr. Universe in this non-pageant called local entertainment.
True enough, sa pilot episode ng kanyang midnight show na Tim Yap Show sa GMA na nagsimula nitong Lunes (hanggang Biyernes), Tim had as his first guest ang first runner-up sa Miss Universe na si JanineTogonon.
TYS is a siksik 30-minute show in a time slot when the world is already snoring. Simple lang ang set nito: isang kama na may malambot na kutson which—in between gaps—ay tinatalun-talunan ni Tim and his guest as though such jump translates to quantum leap for the show to earn instant viewership as well as ratings.
For its pilot episode, in fairness, naitawid naman ‘yon ni Tim although he seemed all too dependent on the writers’ effort para mai-deliver niya ang kanyang spiels. For the most part, Tim was unsure of his spiels. Kailangan ding mai-edit nang maayos ang taped episode na ‘yon, halata kasing umere ang dalawang versions ng parehong take!
All in all, Tim’s show is promising, huwag lang sana itong maging musical in its succeeding episodes para maiba naman siya kay Kuya Germs sa Sabado nitong way-past-midnight ding programa.
