Madonna Decena's battle against her promoter

Filipina semi-finalist for the hit UK show "Britain's Got Talent" (BGT) Madonna Decena is fighting for her rights after losing her job and permit to work in the United Kingdom.The singer reported to the Philippine Embassy and the Labor Attaché based in the United Kingdom that her talent manager Steve Jones of Steve Jones Entertainments Ltd. violated her work contract.In an exclusive interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com, Reynaldo Decena, father of Madonna said that his daughter's move stemmed from Jones' action and decision not to give her wages. Jones claimed that Madonna is not earning a lot because there were no shows for her."Mr. Decena wrote Steve and asked him why he is not giving Madonna's wage, and he told Decena it's because there are no shows. That's why he asked them why you are not promoting your talent?” Decena said.He also denied Jones' accusation that his daughter was nowhere to be found when Jones needed her to work. Mr. Decena said it cannot be true since his daughter is in the UK precisely to work, and is willing to perform in shows even for small amounts. Decena said that what happened was a breach of contract since the contract of Madonna to Jones Entertainments states that 'show or without show' Madonna will receive a salary. He also confirmed that Madonna lost her job when her talent management cancelled her working permit. Mr. Decena said that firing Madonna is not right since his daughter is not violating their contract. He shared that there were times that clients would try to book his daughter for gigs or shows, but apparently when Madonna gave the calls to Steve the projects were cancelled."There were interested clients that would directly call Madonna and would eventually fizzle out when Steve gets to talk to them...why is that so? Madonna is asking how Jones deals with their clients," .Mr. Decena shared his disappointment, saying that Madonna is a professional and never had problems with her former management in the Philippines and in Singapore.He said that he is wondering how Jones runs their business. He said it is unbelievable that it would be hard to promote Madonna's career, since her exposure in BGT made more popular in the UK. Madonna continues to live in the UK and is still trying to find a way to fulfill her dreams.Mr. Decena admitted his daughter will be facing a lot of problems since her working permit was revoked. But he said there are a lot of people who are willing to help Madonna, and that he is confident everything will turn out fine. "I know it will happen but it will take a month since they will file a case. Madonna is a member of Artist Guild in UK and even the said association got angry when they found out what happened to Madonna," Mr. Decena said.Decena said that right now Madonna is doing well, is healthy and living with her friend in the UK.
