Just Placing Him in Good Hands
Image courtesy of www.wikihow.com
One of the benefits of going out of town with fellow actors is that one can be oneself and feel comfortable with the company. As a group, the actors could travel together and explore the sites of a new place without being stared at by local fans. One time, when a group of actors went on an official trip, the entourage was excited because it was the first time for them to be together.
After meeting their official commitments, the team decided to unwind at a local pub. With a few rounds, Amiable Actor (AA) started to get drunk and became too talkative for comfort. AA started to talk about his sexual escapades with Heartbroken Celebrity (HC). AA went as far as giving details of his difficulty with his moves while HC was on a hammock on an exclusive beach. As he continued talking, the more seasoned talents in the group became uneasy. Being women, they particularly did not like to direction of AA’s drunken rant. Thus, they requested Unassuming Talent (UT) to bring AA back to their hotel room.
The gentleman that he is, UT obliged and soon, he was helping AA on his feet. Besides, he and AA have become bonded with their project and thus, feeling responsible, he did what he could. The group then settled in their rooms and assured themselves that AA was in good hands and UT would bring him to his own room. However, AA was too drunk to realize that he was on the bed in the room of UT. When morning came, some members of the group were quite surprised to see AA stepping out of the room of UT. AA spent the night in the room of UT, which was not what they had talked about the night before.
Allegedly, the thought of UT and AA spending the night together with the latter too drunk to do anything led to various speculations of what could have transpired in the silence of the room that night. Some had it that UT could have taken the chance to repeat what he had done before to AA, who was also too drunk then. UT knows the man’s weakness and his own as well, so he could have had enjoyed AA and given him a night of endless pleasure. It was just too bad that he was too drunk to even know someone was all over his manhood.
‘It was an interesting dilemma and with all such dilemmas an opportunity might emerge. 'How best to turn this setback into an advantage,' he wondered silently.’― Raymond E. Feist

Movie Review: Hele sa Hiwagang Hapis (A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery)
Image courtesy of www.linkis.com
Cast: John Lloyd Cruz, Piolo Pascual, Hazel Orencio, Alessandra De Rossi, Joel Saracho, Susan Africa, Bernardo Bernardo, Cherie Gil, Angel Aquino, Sid Lucero, Ely Buendia
Director-Screenwriter-Editor: Lav Diaz
MTRCB Rating: PG
Filmed in black and white, in very slow screenplay, the eight-hour epic expounds in great detail how - for thirty (30) days in the forest - the grieving Gregoria de Jesus aka Oryang (Hazel Orencio) searches in vain for the body of her husband, Andres Bonifacio, believed to have been killed by rival rebel troops, allegedly on orders of General Emilio Aguinaldo. She expresses her unspeakable grief, how her aimless wandering around the forest has revealed man’s unmatched wickedness towards another.
The Filipino Soul
Diaz incorporated various characters and elements in the movie, notably those from Jose Rizal’s controversial novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. The viewers’ political consciousness, particularly towards the Spanish regime, gets roused as Crisostomo Ibarra/Simoun (Piolo Pascual) and Isagani (John Lloyd Cruz), come into the picture.
In Fili, Isagani, a poet and idealist,dreams of having a school for native Filipinos to help them uplift their lives. On the other hand, Simoun provokes hatred to spark the revolution and fight the abuses of the Spanish government. In the film, he gets shot by Basilio (Sid Lucero). Wounded, Simoun is fortunate to have Isagani as his savior, crossing jungles and mountains in a hammock when he needs to be secretly moved to Isagani’s uncle, Padre Florentino’s place.
Together, while hidden in the forest, Isagani and Simoun recite 'Mi Ultimo Adios,' a poem Rizal wrote before his execution. The monologue is powerful to capture the nationalist spirit of the Filipino viewer.
Needless to say, Diaz aims to awaken the Filipino soul and identity suppressed after centuries of Spanish colonial rule - not to mention, the dark years under Marcos’ Martial Law regime.
Betrayal
The beautiful woman from Silang, Cesaria Belarmino (Alessandra De Rossi), one of Gregoria’s companions in the mountains, belatedly confessed to her that she was pushed by circumstances to become the kept woman of a Spanish General (Bart Guingona). As such, Cesaria becomes accomplice in the Battle of Silang that resulted in the rape and death of women, children and old folk. She also admitted to having a hand in the capture of Bonifacio, earning for her the tag "Taksil ng Katipunan (the traitor of Katipunan)." Indeed, even then, Filipino women were as capable of anything as men, even betrayal for self-preservation.
Myths and Legends
Aling Hule (Susan Africa) plays the grieving mother who has lost her two young sons in an uprising, Karyo (Joel Saracho) a very sick man – both are with Gregoria in the mountain inhabited by the three Tikbalangs (half horse/half human played by Bernardo Bernardo, Cherry Gil and Angel Aquino) Likewise, the presence of the strange cult called Colorum doing its rituals in a big cave, headed by a queer priest (Ronnie Lazaro) once more illustrates the richness of the Filipino mythology.
Immersion
As a viewer, you have to condition yourself before you watch the movie. Be prepared physically, mentally and psychologically as it is an ultimate test of one’s patience and endurance. Expect to be immersed in the story as you breathe and live in every scene - long stretched, no narrative - while it consumes you. You’ll be hooked. No chance to get bored. You hold your screaming bladder as you don’t want to miss a thing.
It is with great comfort that the leading actors delivered more than what they could - Piolo, John Lloyd, Hazel Orencio, Alex de Rossi and the rest. Passion for the craft, for a rare opportunity to do a project of such magnitude definitely became a factor. It's not a walk in the park making an 8-hour movie with a director of Diaz's caliber who refuses to be limited by a standard. Any actor will be eaten up if he/she is not up to par. There's only one word to sum it all up - commitment - and they have tons of it. Kudos!
The film is a departure from the norm. For one, there’s no musical score to highlight the scenes to play with the emotion. There’s a dearth of close-up shots, too. But these will not be a bother as you get deeply engrossed in the story. What feels like a very sluggish flow to ‘nothingness’ ultimately gets to you, like magic.
“You learn that you don't watch a Lav Diaz film. You experience it," said actor Bernardo Bernardo.
The Power In Our Hands
Towards the end, Isagani engages Padre Florentino in serious talk. The conversation is real, it hits home in real time. He asks his uncle what curse has befallen his beloved Philippines, the promised land and its people, as it struggles repeatedly to fight the cycle of poverty, abuses and corruption. Padre Florentino’s reply has never been so familiar, “ You, the youth have the power to change it. “
“ Hele sa Hiwagang Hapis “ is still showing in cinemas.

Behind Her Nice and Lovable Image is a Slightly Mischievous Woman
Image courtesy of www.mindly.org
Sometime ago, Talented Actress (TA) and Cute Co-star (CC) developed closeness because of their project. While TA has her Constant Screen partner (CS), she and CC managed to get to know each other quite well. As the production saw the developing closeness of the two, they did not mind it whenever TA and CC would ask permission to leave for a quiet place so they can practice throwing their lines. Besides, CC would always bring a friend with him, and thus, the production felt safe. Sometimes, CS was not needed on location, so he was not around.
One time, TA asked CC if they could practice their blocking and lines. CC agreed and after a while, CC told his friend not to go with them, as they’ll just be in the van, anyway. Upon reaching the van, CC told the driver to leave them alone. Given that the location was hot, staying in the van would be a good option. Thus, no one bothered them as they did say they were going to rehearse their lines. Time passed and finally, TA stepped out of the van and the friend noticed that her hair seems to be a bit ruffled. Finally, the friend asked why TA and CC took much time. Like a typical boy who kisses and tells, CC smacked his lips and fingers.
After that incident, TA and CC became closer. TA would send sweet messages to CC, but he was smart enough not to be entangled with TA, as the fandom will certainly not give him any peace. When CC was out on a date with Pretty Celebrity (PC), TA sent one of her messages. CC then showed the message to PC, who reacted by posting a seemingly innocent status in her social media account. TA would not let it pass and she responded with a cryptic message. Given that her followers had no idea where that message came from and to whom it was really addressed, they let it be.
Apparently, image is really just smokes and mirrors. Behind the innocent and sweet image is someone who is quite playful with the boys. Had CS found out what has been happening, he might be provoked to act, that is, if they really are together, as their fans would like to believe.
‘When he worked, he really worked. But when he played, he really PLAYED.’― Dr. Seuss

Smart, Facebook Strengthen Partnership to Connect More Filipinos Online
PLDT Chairman and CEO Manny V. Pangilinan met with Facebook founder and CEO Mar Zuckerberg at Facebook Headquarters in Menlo Park, California to discuss ways of furth strengthening their partnership to introduce the incredible value of the Internet to more Filipinos, an ultimately change their lives for the better.
Through a strategic partnership with Facebook, Smart was the first telco in Southeast Asia to roll out Free Basics, a groundbreaking service that aims to make mobile Internet available to two-thirds of the world who are not yet connected and uplift their lives by offering access to online sources and services without data charges. The service is now available to more than 30 countries.
Since its debut in the Philippines in March last year, millions of users on the Smart network have enjoyed Free Basics, which allows them to get in touch with their loved ones, search information, learn from educational sites, seek jobs, and check the news and weather, among many others, without additional cost – effectively breaking down barriers for many Filipinos to appreciate the real-life benefits of mobile Internet.
Building on the success of Free Basics in the Philippines, Smart and Facebook subsequently introduced Free Facebook Toggle and Free Instagram, leading to a surge in the number of online users, who are now more empowered than ever to live the ‘Smart Life’ with access to meaningful innovations and the widest breadth of digital content at their fingertips.
Pangilinan recently took part in a series of engagements with Silicon Valley leaders and partners, which comes amid the PLDT Group’s rapid transformation as the country’s leading digital company, in line with its thrust to use technology in introducing meaningful changes in the life of Filipinos.
