Star Magic Warns Unauthorized Use of its Talents' Images for Election Campaign Purposes


A candidate in the October 25 barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections is using the image of child star Zaijan Jaranilla in campaign posters without permission, Star Magic confirmed.

Zaijan rose to fame after playing Santino in award-winning television series "May Bukas Pa." He is one of the lead stars of popular TV soap "Noah."

Star Magic, which handles the career of the child star, clarified that it did not authorize any candidate or organization to use the images of Zaijan.

"The use of images of Zaijan Jaranilla, or any Star Magic artists in a campaign poster by any candidate or organization, is totally unauthorized," it said in a statement.

"We advise that the erring parties take steps to rectify the situation or face legal action," it added.

Star Magic did not name the candidate involved, but reports said it was referring to a barangay councilor contender in Oriental Mindoro.
