PAMI expels Lolit Solis


Veteran showbiz scribe and talent manager Lolit Solis is no longer a member of Professional Artist Managers, Inc. (PAMI).

The 28-year-old organization expelled Lolit after supposedly violating one of their rules.

The 75-year-old shared on her Instagram account a letter dated Oct. 18 as signed by the group's president, June Torrejon-Rufino.

There, PAMI noted how Lolit violated confidentiality when she made public the resignation of co-PAMI member, Shirley Kuan.

The letter read in part: "Dear Lolit, I write on behalf of our group, the Professional Artist Managers, Inc. (PAMI) to inform you that you have violated one of our rules, 'that everything we discuss during meetings and those posted in our Viber chat group should be treated with confidentiality.'

"However, you made public via your Instagram a message of Shirley Kuan, which was posted in our Viber chat by the undersigned," June added.

"In lieu of this, I regret to inform you that we have decided to expel you from the group effective today, October 18, 2022," he said. "Thank you for your service as one of the pioneers of PAMI. We wish you the best in all of your undertakings."

In the caption, Lolit admitted she was saddened to receive the note.

"Alam ko na may nagawa akong kasalanan kaya tanggap ko ang parusa," she said. "Humanga ako dahil naging matapang si June Rufino this time na gumawa ng stand. Maganda example na ipakita nila sa lahat na binibigyan nila ng parusa ang mga hindi sumunod sa rules ng PAMI."

She then extended an apology to all concerned for "messing up."

"Mabuti nga ginawa nila ito at baka dumami pa ang mag resign tulad ni Shirley Kuan. Ngayon hindi na magri resign ang mga ayaw sa akin, dahil expelled na ako. At least, na EXPEL ako dahil sa ibang rason at hindi dahil sa BULLY ako," Lolit continued.

"I admit to my mistake, I bow to June Rufino as president of PAMI, and I hope the organization at ang mga members magtagumpay lahat lalo na ang mga alaga nila na parang anak na kaya inilalaban ng patayan gaya ni Shirley Kuan kay Bea Alonzo. Wish all of you well and success. Your EXPELLED member, Lolita Solis (smiling face with halo emoji) #classiclolita."

It was only a few days ago when Lolit uploaded a screenshot of a message that read: "Tita Dolor please post this sa PAMI viber group. It is now very evident to me, without a shadow of a doubt, that PAMI's silence on this BULLYING BY ANOTHER PAMI MEMBER is tantamount to PAMI SUPPORTING BULLIES & BULLYING. Therefore, I cannot continue being a part of PAMI. I RESIGN."

In the caption, Lolit named Shirley as the sender.

In an earlier interview with PEP.Ph, Shirley opened up on what she deemed were Lolit's "unprovoked attacks" on her talent Bea Alonzo.

Lolit has accused Bea of "power tripping" in March after her name was removed from the guest list at a press conference of the Kapuso star's launch as endorser of a certain beauty brand.

Lolit would go on to incessantly mention Bea's name in her social media posts and columns.

Shirley cleared in an interview that she's the one who asked for the removal of Lolit's name on the guest list.

According to her, she did so only because Lolit has been hitting on Bea ever since she transferred to GMA and as her manager, she believes it's her job to protect Bea.
