37th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) Box Office Tally, Possible Sabotage Unfoiled

As of 10:00 in the evening yesterday (December 25), the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entries have earned close to Php 125 million. With hopes high, the seven different films are continuously raking in millions of pesos and higher volumes of viewership.

Official MMFF Box Office Results (as of December 25)
1. Enteng Ng Ina Mo - Php 38.5M
2. Ang Panday 2 - Php 20M
3. Segunda Mano - Php 18.2M
4. My Househusband - Php 17.33M
5. Shake Rattle & Roll 13 - Php 15.9M
6. Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow - Php 10.1M
7. Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story - Php 3M

Meanwhile, Jobert Sucaldito of DZMM TeleRadyo program Mismo revealed hours earlier that there has been a sabotage in the movie prints for the MMFF entry Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story. He divulges that only 17 of the supposedly 51 number of prints for theater showing nationwide were released by its contractor SQ Laboratories, owned by a certain Angelo Santos.

He further lashed on a few MMFF entries' producers, with an emphasized exclusion of Star Cinema thus narrowing down the hit list, which had more movie prints than expected, leading to an inappropriate occupancy of slots alloted for the Manila Kingpin in cinema houses nationwide.

Sucaldito also said that during the first hours of movie release yesterday, the Manila Kingpin landed 3rd in gross earnings, even if it was only played in 17 theaters. Also, he delightedly announced that Manila Kingpin has been garnering really good and positive reviews from movie critics and local viewers.

Recent reports support Sucaldito's claim. Laguna governor E.R. Ejercito said, the movie “grossed Php 3M in 17 theaters. We could have earned P20-M on the first day kung kumpleto ang prints. Kung patas ang laban.”

Maylyn Enriquez, the supervising producer of Scenema Concept International, producer of the Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story later unveiled a public statement.

“We contracted SQ Laboratories to be the supplier for the prints. We both agreed to have the prints ready by December 23 in time for logistics of the materials for the December 25, 2011, which is the first day of MMFF screening. However, due to their load with other 4 more festival entries, we were the least priority and last to be printed. To my dismay, the laboratory misinformed us about the completion of the prints, and the last minute transfer of laboratory was necessary to produce as many prints as possible. Unfortunately, despite the delivery of the prints to the theaters, the cinemas have already replaced our theater with another movie. This is already beyond our control.”

Was there really a sabotage in the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival? Let us wait and see in the coming days.

Para kay Santa: Isang Pang-matagalang Ninalyn Uy Please

SMP. Samahan ng mg malalamig ang Pasko. Ang koponang tradisyonal na nabubuo sa tuwing sumasapit ang buwan ng Disyembre.  Isa ako sa mga kasapi nito, for four years! Me already!

Baka isipin mong sa buong buhay ko hindi pa nahuhulog loob ko sayo, este, sa iba. Alam mo, marami na akong minahal na babae. Bawat taon ata, walong taon ang nakakaraan, may na-lilink sa akin. Noong mga taong iyon, beasty hippo pa ako, kaya naiirita sila kung bakit kailangan pa nilang mainsulto sa ganung biruan.

But, sa pagdaan ng panahon, unti-unting nagbago ang hulma ng kapalaran. Ang dating beasty hippo, nagbago ng anyo, without artificial interference. From beasty hippo to charming snow leopard. It's in the genes, sabi nila. Ang dating kinaaayawan at pinagtatanggihan ng mga babae, naging katanggap-tanggap na.

Pero, sa kabila ng mga pagbabago, ako pa rin ang nahirapan. Bilanggo ng SMP. Dahil bawat babaeng dumadaan sa buhay ko ay pawang isang napakagandang tanawin lamang. Isang abot-tingin lang, kinatatakutan kong akyatan. Kaibigan.

Natakot akong masaktan. Yun yon eh.

Magtatapang-tapangan na ako. Santa, hinahamon kita. Isang wish lang ang hinihiling kong matupad. Isang pang-matagalang Ninalyn Uy po, please. Isang tulad niya, na kailangan ng maraming kalalakihan ngayon. Isang tulad niya, na lunas sa pagkatorpe. Isang tulad niya, na kayang sutsutin ang batas ng pagmamahal.

Asahan mong hindi ko siya sasaktan, hindi tulad nang nangyari sa akin way back. Asahan mong, kahit halos lahat ng laman ng regalong hinahatid mo sa akin noon ay mga laruan, hinding-hindi ko siya paglalaruan.  Asahan mong hindi siya magsisi sa ginawa niyang pananawagan.

Asahan mong, sa mundo niya, hindi na siya mag-iisa.

P.S. May nalalabing 13.5 hours ka pa para maihanda ang regalo ko. Salamat. Mas gugustuhin ko pang matulog sa kakahintay, kesa sa magising sa katotohanan. Sana'y pakinggan mo ako.

Hindi Mo Lang Alam

Hindi Mo Lang Alam

Mahigit apat na taon na tayong magkakilala.

Sa mga araw na nagdaan, nakita ko kung paano tayo lumaki karamay ang isa't isa. Naaalala mo ba yung mga araw na kumakanta ako kahit wala sa tono, kahit na nakakahiya sa harap nang maraming tao? Malakas lang talaga loob ko noon. Hindi naman kita bestfriend, pero gabundok talaga ang tiwala ko na kapag kasama kita, kaya kong maging Red Horse. Extra strong.

Magkaibigan lang tayo noon. Wala pang makukulay na mga ngiti. Wala pang hawak sa kamay. Wala pang dahilan para magkahiyaan. Wala pang kahulugan sa bawat galaw na tumatatak sa mga araw na nabibilang.

Sayang lang at hindi mo alam to.

Malapit nang matapos ang buhay Isko natin. Sana tayo na. Tanungin mo na ako, 'di na uso na lalaki ang nagtatanong e.
