Movie Review: Ma’ Rosa
Image courtesy of www.en.wikipedia.org
Main Cast: Jaclyn Jose, Julio Diaz, Andi Eigenmann,
Director: Brillante Mendoza
Rating: R-16
Released By: Centerstage Productions thru Solar Pictures
Jacklyn Jose's exceptional performance as Ma’ Rosa Reyes could have been given more screen time. But as expected, amidst such a small flaw, she was able to deliver. How? It’s for you to find out.
Brillante Mendoza brings the story of a married couple who lives in a depressed shantytown. Rosa operates a neighborhood convenience store (locally known as sari-sari store) with her husband Nestor (Julio Diaz). They supplement their meager income by using their store as a front to peddle ice or “shabu” (a form of crystal methampethamine), an illegal substance, sold in sachet sizes.
Every centavo counts for the impoverished family. The couple maximizes everything in order to survive, renting out their karaoke set to neighbors for added income. They have every reason to as they have three children to feed, with one daughter Raquel (Andi Eigenmann) who they send to college.
Unfortunately, a neighbor tipped them off to the police.
On the eve of Nestor’s birthday, the police come rushing to their house to arrest them, taking several pieces of evidence. It is at this point that the movie reveals the ugly reality about the problem of drugs and the even uglier and more sickening truth about corruption in the local police hierarchy.
At the police station, the couple are interrogated. Totally disregarding protocol, Police Officer Lopez (Baron Geisler) asked Rosa and Nestor to choose: Jail time for the non bailable crime, or cough up 200 hundred thousand pesos to fix everything so they can be freed. The money of course goes to the pockets of the arresting officers. The ugliness has just begun.
The way the officers conduct the negotiations speaks a lot about how low these greedy suckers have become. They threaten the couple and have made every minute of their ordeal like a journey to hell.
“ Ma’ Rosa” reveals how small-time drug-offenders are hostaged by police extorting a payout. They ask Rosa about her cahoots so that they can milk them, too. Arrest cases are not recorded in the police logbook to conceal the deal.
The couple’s three children - Raquel (Andy Eigenmann), Jackson (Felix Roco) and Erwin (Jomari Angeles) are asked to help bail out their parents. They headed out quickly, keeping in mind the urgency of the task at hand. Beggars can’t be choosers and the circumstances by which they subjected themselves into to be able to produce the money can soften even the most callous and hardhearted out there.
Indie movie veteran, Jaclyn Jose, the beleaguered, hardworking mother Rosa proves to be the strength of the family. Isabel Lopez and Mercedez Cabral have bit roles, but their performances impact big time. Julio Diaz as a slouch man of the house fits him to a T. The stolid performances of the three actors playing the couple’s children seem to convey the children’s quiet endurance.
For the uninitiated and untrained viewer, you need patience and an open mind when watching movies like this. Be prepared for the unexpected, you may get bored or alienated with the film’s overall make up. But rest assured that every minute spent is knowledge gained.
With director Mendoza at the helm, from a screenplay of Troy Espiritu, Ma’ Rosa plays out more as a documentary than a story. Poverty and its ruthless depiction, its overall ugliness shot in one of the country’s poorest communities.
The film will move you by the injustice suffered by the destitute, the system by which the poor victims get victimized once more, where drugs mean poverty of life and a poverty of ambition.
The movie is timely as the new administration is hell-bent on eradicating these society’s menace, whoever gets hit – hook, line and sinker.
Ma' Rosa is a 2016 Filipino drama film selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. At Cannes, Jaclyn Jose won the award for Best Actress.
It also stars Baron Geisler, Mark Anthony Fernandez, Mon Confiado, and Neil Ryan Seseing – now showing in cinemas.

Keeping Her Good-looking Man Excited
A favorite topic of reporters when it comes to SM is her former relationships. After giving up her budding career for the father of her child, SM struggled through most of her life to raise her children. Along the way, she has been entangled with various types of men, from entertainers, athletes, to public servants. Despite these relationships, SM made sure her children were taken care of well. Besides, her former boyfriends understood her and have considered her kids, theirs as well.
Nonetheless, as soon as her children came of age, they finally became vocal in her choice of partner. Thus, when one of them said he did not like SM’s boyfriend, she carefully weighed the choices and abided by the words of her child. The child said that he did not like it that it had to be SM who had to fend for her boyfriend.
Because SM is attractive physically and in terms of her character, her being single did not last long. Someone thought of setting her up with Dashing Dad (DD), who also had a connection with showbiz. At first, people doubted at seeing SM and DD together. Some even thought their togetherness was merely to create a buzz for her. Well, apparently, both hit it off and have elevated their relationship to a higher level. Moreover, her children like DD, who is generous and financially capable.
As two consenting adults who are very much attracted to each other, SM and DD found themselves in awkward moments behind the doors of the bedroom. Since both need to lose a few pounds, they had to be creative when satisfying each other. Thus, both had to make do with various positions and actions to reach satisfaction. Regardless of their physical antics, SM and DD are too smitten with each other to let traditional positions and their flabs hinder their passion. So much creativity and movement take place behind closed doors. Well, as long as SM and DD are happy with each other, they will always find ways to fire up their desires.

How Abdominal Fat Develops
Having a small tummy doesn’t just mean you are sexy or hot. It is also an indicator of good health. When there’s too much glucose intake, glucose becomes stored fat which then turns into abdominal fat. By eating processed carbohydrates and sugary food in excess, the body rapidly converts it into sugar that enters the bloodstream which then triggers larger insulin release from the pancreas. The more often and longer the blood insulin remains high, the more the abdominal fat would build up. Good thing there is FatOut!
