I wanna see this. I wish more filipino films could be like this… instead of the crap that I see starring the “it girls” and “it boys” of the moment.
“SAVING SALLY” TEASER TRAILER
This is an Independent Pinoy Film about love, monsters and gadgets, and is an on-going labor of love by Director/Illustrator/Visual Artist mister Avid Liongoren.
Check out the film’s website here. If you happen to have a knack at animation, help him out as well.

Meanwhile, In The Philippines of the Day: Two toothless Pinoy pals calling themselves “The Wang and Only” have been making bizarre lip-dub videos somewhat reminiscent of the Crazy Frog Brothers, and posting them to their Facebook page.
It’s the sort of thing for which the Internet was meant.

They should be cloned and imported everywhere.

This collection of Wow Philippines “More than the Usual” campaign is clever, witty, engaging and lovely.
Dear present Department of Tourism team, what brand of creativity (or lack of it) do you wish to showcase with your “Pilipinas Kay Ganda?” Really?! That’s the best that you can come up with?!
I remember seeing these on tv for the first time and grinning… proud of the creative team that came up with these ads.

A Filipino may denationalize himself but not his stomach. He may travel over the seven seas, the five continents and the two hemispheres and lose the savor of home, forget his identity and believe himself a citizen of the world. But he remains- gastronomically, at least- always a Filipino. For, if in no other way, the Filipino loves his country with his stomach.

My Film 170B personal documentary project. It’s a short look into my life as a Filipino immigrant in America as well as a look in the lives of two of my friends who have ties to other nations in the world.
“In mind, in word and in deed” is the english translation of a line in the Philippine oath of allegiance, “(Pilipino ako) sa isip, sa salita, at sa gawa”.

Still relevant 25 years later.
Our version of a peaceful movement. Every country goes through a time when the people will decide how to fight back— through flowers or bullets. This was our time. May we remember this important part of our history as we watch our brothers and sisters in the Arab world go through their own movement.

“I wanted to sleep early tonight but I couldn’t so instead I decided to make my first ever video blog. This week marks the 25th anniversary of the 1986 EDSA “People Power” Revolution in the Philippines. I decided to share my thoughts on this.”

While in Medical City earlier tonight, I met her. A few minutes into the conversation, while I do not even remember how the talk went there, she mentioned quietly that her brother was one of the 58 victims of the Ampatuan massacre.
She said it with no expectation nor theatrics. She just said it and shrugged. I told her not to move and I ran down to get a magazine from my car. Coincidentally, I had two copies in the trunk that’s been there for over two months now. It was the UNO Dec 2010/Jan 2011 issue with Iza (Calzado) on the cover. I was well aware that Pat (Evangelista) had a 3-page spread about the Ampatuan massacre and that this particular issue was to mark the first year of the tragedy.
I handed her the magazines and told her that while it may not be a pleasant read, it may help us (who merely watch from afar) tell them (who felt the raw cut up close) - that we grieve the loss and we will continue to remember. It was our way of saying we beg for justice alongside them. She said she will give the other copy to her father.
Tears welled up a bit as she recounted the last time she encountered her brother. It was that particular Monday morning (Nov 23, 2009) when her car literally met up with her brother’s car along the highway and they honked their horns twice in hello.
I drove her to her hotel and we talked a bit more. I found out that her brother Anthony Ridao was not a journalist, he was not part of that official convoy. He just happened to be driving the road on his way back to Cotabato City from Marbel where he spent the weekend celebrating his child’s birthday the Sunday before. Anthony was not part of the beneficiaries of funds raised for journalists (since he wasn’t one) and he wasn’t on any one’s list - as a matter of fact. Just his family’s. Just his sister’s. But he is now part of ours.
I immediately called Erwin (Romulo) the Editor in Chief of UNO and then subsequently called Pat to tell them that the good work they do really has the power to comfort people when they least expect it and when they most need it -on ordinary days after the loss of a loved one.
Bravo, UNO Magazine - for lending the space to publish their story. It made a family from afar feel heard and subsequently remembered. If I’m not mistaken, that is exactly the point of media.
Strength and support to the family of Anthony Ridao. Innocent.
