In this land, blood is shed
One after the other, one is killed
No need for words

Ownership for the land
Belongs to the last man who stand

We are up to make two films early this year, and both for National and eventually International screening and as always, I am very much excited every time I get to shoot another film. Its like a pill that makes me want to take again… (lol)

Anyway, it’s a go for films this year, best welcome home gift from friends and fellow filmmakers

First off: I will be shooting with my Micromedia Team this end of the month for ANC’s AMBISYON 2010.

It is a nation that lives by its stories: housewives living through the eight pm soap opera, teenagers who toss meager allowances on movie tickets, the audience that shakes its head over the daily news. AmBisyon is about the dreams of a nation, the vision of a future in the context of a country locked in poverty. It is about hope, possibility, truth—through the lenses of those who tell its stories.

Military General afraid to step on water and get wet?

I received a mail from my officemate Cathy… and along with the mail is an attached photo of this Man in uniform being carried by a civilian on the way to the “banca” (boat).

Where our people has fought long and hard for the sake of freedom. Our heroes for centuries have risked so much to gain the freedom were having now… from Lapu-lapu, Rizal, Bonifacio, Aguinaldo, and then comes Aquino. If you review history, there is a cycle of freedom and yet being enslaved again… another victory which again ended up to defeat, but then again, its freedom once more. Read more…

There had been rumors about the upcoming State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, would not be the last. However, according to television news yesterday, the DA, will make sure that the upcoming SONA of the President this year would be her last SONA.

What would be the reason a President could extend her term? It is changing the Constitution which they termed as, charter change or “Cha-cha” in the Philippines.  If by chance, the Amending of the 1987 Constitution would push through, President Arroyo would still say in power further than 2010. On the other hand, the President has assured that there is going to be a 2010 election, but she never confirmed it to be in a Presidential Form, which means there is a chance that the incumbent President will become a Prime Minister if the Constitution is amended.
