Sa nakaraang induction  of officers ng PMPC (Phil. Movie Press Club) kung saan nahalal on his second term si Fernan De Guzman, naglitanya ang “Re-invention Queen of Movie Writing”  na si Roel Villacorta about the positive direction ng indie films at the present time sa harap ng inducting guest of honor no less than Sen. Jinggoy Estrada.

      Hopeful din si Sen. Jinggoy na sana nga coz in his own word nag- “comatose,” if not “dead” ( our own word hahaha!) na ang mainstream movie industry. Kailangan ang milagro to make it live once more. If at all.

      Which brings us to an “indie”  merienda launch (konti lang kasi kami) ng isa pang  gay indie film  billed “I Love You Pare Ko,” the most wholesome ever sabi ni Direk Buboy Tan compared sa mga nagawa niyang films ever.  Na siya namang promo blitz ng katotong si William Reyes who was the eventologist at hand topbilled by the Star Struck (Batch 5) almnus Rocco Nacino whose “Ang Sayaw Ng Dalawang Paa” won recognitions sa mga award-giving bodies like PMPC Star Awards for Movies, URIAN, Pasado and Golden Screen Awards.

For the first time ang kapatid ni Rayver Cruz na si Rodjun Cruz ay bida rin dito bilang isang closet gay na best friend naman ni Rocco. So there, can we expect laplapan or dambahan, if not hubaran scenes between these two straight guys onscreen sa selected SM mall cinemas? Watch na lang kayo
ng “I Love You Pare Ko” starting Feb. 6.

Tikom ang bibig ni Rodjun nung tinanong siya kung may relasyon nga ba ang ex ng kanyang kuya na si Cristine kay Derek Ramsay. Sabi lang ni Rodjun matagal nang naka-move on ang kuya niya and in fact meron ngang gagawin sina Cristine at Rayver na teleserye billed  “Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin.” Promotion sabi ko na nga ba?

      What surprised me was at the presidential table  was the handsome producer behind the project named Riqui Cardema na spittin’ image ng kinababaliwang si Sir Chief ng “Be Careful With My Heart” ng ABS-CBN  who could very well pass for the role of a  young father. Headhunters take note, this Cardema. I know one when I see one.

      I asked Riqui bakit gay themed film ang una niyang venture? Marami siyang  sinabi like it is his way of advocating against “hate crimes”  the world over, etc. In short  “I Love You Pare Ko ” is an advocacy film, short of saying it is a pro-gay film in the midst RH Bill and hysterical propaganda of the bigots and fundamentalists in the Catholic industry against same sex marriage and all.

Rara avis itong si Riqui Cardema who is nowhere near the gay spectrum. Naaah! Kailangan bang gay ka to advocate for the LGBT community? Naaah pa rin.

      On deeper probing Riqui just came home to see to the promo of his maiden venture from San Francisco, USA where he is a full-time paramedical practitioner. Very much a family man as well over there.

      On deeper probing, nalaman namin na si Riqui pala ay by heart is a blue-blooded artist and is a professional photographer and  in fact he has lots of story materials culled from his spine-tingling experience from working in  hospitals abroad.

      Hindi ako magtataka kung sa pagbalik ni Riqui muli sa ‘Pinas ay isa na siyang director at scriptwriter ng sariling niyang pelikula na possibly ay horror genre. Why not?

The local cinema  is a vast area to explore for the many talented with new blood in them to help resuscitate the “comatose” mainstream movie industry according to Sen. Jinggoy Estrada. Meanwhile, the comedy “I Love You Pare Ko” is for your consideration.

    

G.E.B SUPERCLUB INTO THE TSUNAMI VICTORY OF PMPC (PHIL. MOVIE PRESS CLUB) PREXY FERNAN DE GUZMAN aka MISS F.

PMPC (Phil. Movie Press Club)   

From my blog “ Manila Showbiz & Lifestyle” farmed out in different versions to www:pmpcstarnews.com, Pilipino Mirror, Remate Online, Scandal, CMT (Columnists Monitoring Team) Update, etc.

Yes, that longish title says it all.

G.E.B Superclub at Morato, Quezon City graciously and in high style yummy food and drinks, etc. at that hosted our "miting de avance" on the eve of the recent campaign for the re-election of colleague, line-producer of the recent indie film version of NOLI ME TANGERE (which I directed for Dean Joe Rivera of Holy Rosary Colleges Foundation) Fernan De Guzman also popularly known in the movie industry as Miss F.

        Could not thank enough G.E.B for the favor, and yes also to our beloved and well-known bar manager Genesis of the world of single bars of Metro Manila who was the livewire behind it all.

At the last minute, we were able to wangle yet to our side the vote of the editor of newspaper Pilipino Mirror Evelyn Diao demoralizing yet the competing party no end.

        Parenthetical, Miss F. was my Art Director when I directed my " anti- film" according to Director Lav Diaz (hindi digital, film talaga, ha?) "Uod Sa Laman" starred by Criselda Volks, Alan Paule, Angie Ferro, Ronnie Lazaro, Ray Ventura, Pen Medina, etc., which up till now continues to get shown on PBO of Viva Film but that is not my story for now.

        The gathering, or "plotting" was to make sure to party members and all how to appropriate the strategy of the Russian "gestapo" game which we have imposed on all of us for the projected "tsunami" victory of Miss F.

        We thanked all the past presidents who supported the candidacy of Miss F. especially Joe Barrameda who supported Miss F up to the induction ceremony providing the ways and means to do it in style.

        The rest is history, everything was victory.

        All the enemies were bludgeoned and erased (all of them) figuratively from the face of the earth. Tsunami. Not one from the enemy camp survived to make it to the solid lineup of Miss F., see?

        Shortly after, we had our induction of officers at the upscale Choi Restaurant, Libis before Sen. Jinggoy Estrada which I kinda hosted single-handedly. Outcoming and most supportive ever of  Miss F’s candidacy PMPC prexy Roldan Castro handed down his crown to Miss F. in his most insouciant way.       

        To prove that showbiz is such a small world, before the induction over mouth-watering lauriat, we reminisced on the good, old times together with Sen. Jinggoy in his salad days so to speak.

        Familiar to Sen. Jinggoy were the names of Manay Ethel, Ernie Pecho, Letty Celi, Erlinda Rapadas, etc. Well that included me even reminding the Senator that I first crossed paths with him when he was yet pursuing his Economic course at UP Diliman. 

        Good old times, yes.

        In any case, read  the dossier of G.E.B Super Club and why it is the party place to go now at Morato hub. So there!
