  3. i look forward for more of this kind of digi films in the future ! i am very glad there is such kind of digi films like something to be proud of locally and internationally !

  4. This movies are well crafted and being gay, I am very very proud of it. The scenes were so realistic… I have seen ang pagdadalaga ni maximo oliveros and I can’t help but cry. These are the kind of movies that we, as gays, shold support and patronize…. This movie expresses homosexuality far better than any literature could ever have…..

  5. Kamukha ni JC de vers yung nasa DUDA poster..sino yun?

  6. Both movies are commendable efforts by Cris Pablo to dissect the intricacies of the Filipino homosexual psyche. Though there is ubiquitous room for improvement (particularly in plot progression and some casting choices), both definitely make for a worthwhile viewing experience and quite inarguably recommendable fare even for straight audiences.

    off-topic: is it true na si TIM YAP daw ang inspiration ni BITOY dun sa funny song nyang “HINDI AKO BAKLA..TOM YAM..TIM YAP…paki-confirm nga! =)

    mahaderang_tamaraw at Mar 30, 07 at 3:27 am

  15. di ba’t sabi ni tim yap noon na “metrosexual” daw sya…isang malaking HELLER! :-P

    DavaoGuy at Mar 30, 07 at 9:05 am

  16. (Ay, talagang napunta kay Tim Yap? Sige, sasakay din ako, haha!)

    Tama naman si Tim Yap ah, metrosexual nga sya… Di ba ang ‘metrosexual’ eh pinaganda, pinabango, at pinasushal na term para sa nagpapa-mhin-pa’ko-sa-lagay-na’to-kahit-halata-namang-badidang-ako type of guy? LOL! :P

    andrew at Mar 30, 07 at 10:58 am

  19. thumbs up to DUDA/DOUBT!

    punchkid at Oct 4, 07 at 7:01 pm

  20. I saw Moreno and got disappointed. It looked rushed, the actors were self conscious, the story went somewhere that made me ask, “What’s the point?” It ended with a flashback that made me look around trying to find a confirmation of what just happened. “Ito na yon?”, but in a silent way.

    Bilog was saved by the Nora Aunor look-a-like. Ara Mina was too big a star to do a role that outshone all the other actors. If she downplayed it a bit, she would’ve blended in instead of a digital film being visited by a diosahh (ngaba?).

    Bathhouse was good. I guess i rank the film in the order they were made.

    Duda was a surprisingly good pink digital film. But i got disappointed when i viewed the VCD version that i was too proud to send to my friends abroad. Why was Rey Pumaloy’s scenes deleted? Is the DVD version complete? Uugh!

    RonTab at Feb 18, 08 at 5:26 pm

  21. I agree with RonTab, the Nora Aunor-look alike unintentionally saved the Bilog digi-movie

    cricket at May 5, 08 at 2:45 pm

  22. that nora aunor look-alike in the digital film bilog is my classmate in U.P. his name is Rudolph Segundo.

    janjanoah at May 7, 08 at 11:28 am
