KASAL. KASALI. KASALO.

(I'm posting this at January 14, 2007 @ 12am because we didn't have internet connection last Friday. No internet. No Blog. Thanks!)

I don't usually watch Filipino movies in theatres(unless they're really good). Better yet, watch it twice. But this one was a big exception. KASAL. KASALI. KASALO.

It's a story that revolves around the life of two single people (played by multi-award winning actress Judy Ann Santos and real-life boyfriend Ryan Agoncillio) who decided to get married. It showed the different typical situations a couple goes through: wedding preparations, parent's welcome and unwelcome involvement in their lives and the different challenges the faced. I can go on and on about the movie but I think it's better you watch it for yourself. If you can't watch it, be sure you get the DVD. I'm sure I will.

I watched this movie together with Aida, Rafa and my new media ministry partners (namely Odette, Ivy, Iya, Dhong and his wife Lea). It was Aida and I who motivated them to see it because it was really a great film.

If we only make movies like this, our industry will flourish. People (regardless of masa or sosi) will go out of their way to watch it at least once.

If there are any producers reading this blog, please listen.

We like good movies and we will watch good movies. If you think Filipinos will not support Filipino films, think again. We will as long as it is a good product. Regardless whether we belong to the upper echelon of society or the lower level of the system, people will spend their hard earned money and watch a good Filipino movie.

If you continue to think that Filipinos cannot understand compelling stories, please think again. We watch foreign movies starred by Denzel Washington or Johnny Depp that talk about complicated topics. We appreciate it because the film doesn't think we're stupid.

My producer. We want to watch good Filipino movies. If you produce such, we will watch.
