Artist Jeff Albea claims MUPH did not pay him for his work

Artist Jeff Albea called out the management of Miss Universe Philippines for their failure to pay him for the trophies he designed and crafted.

Jeff added that MUPH ignored and disregarded him when payment was up.

On Facebook, Jeff posted the following:

“ I DID NOT GET PAID.

MISS UNIVERSE phils vanished into thin air. They refused to pay me for the trophies I designed and crafted for the coronation night. All the effort, dedication and passion I put in creating these pieces, ended up ignored and disregarded when payment was due.

I do not need nor will I accept a single centavo from the organization anymore.

What I need now is for them to learn that ARTISTS DESERVE RESPECT. We pour our hearts and souls into our creations. Our ideas don’t just appear from thin air just to work for an xdeal. They are the result of intense thought, deep emotions, and sleepless nights. Not to mention, opportunities missed, money and years spent honing our craft.

I fiercely advocate for my fellow artists with unwavering passion, not all artists can take and afford this mistreatment.

PLEASE, DO NOT LET OUR WORK BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED.”
