Pelikula tungkol sa male rape

Inihalintulad niya ito sa“opening Pandora’s box.”

Una sa lahat, may kinalamanang istorya ng pelikula sa pang-gahasa sa mga kalalakihan, nahalos hindi pinag-uusapan saPilipinas dahil uso pa rin ditoang pa-macho.

Ipinaliwanag niya na naka-batay ang pelikula sa mga true-to-life na kuwento ng mga over-seas Filipino workers, mgakalalakihang nagahasa sa kani-lang pangingibang bayan.

“Habang gumagawa ako ngresearch ang nagi-interbyu, maynakilala ako na may best friendna na-rape sa Dubai,” kuwentoni Bacolod.

Matindi ang naging epektong panggagahasang iyon salalaki. “Umuwi siyang balisa.Hindi na siya yung dating taobago umalis. Nawalan na siyang pag-asa. Hanggang isangaraw natagpuan siyang patay sakubeta, sinunog ang sarili niya.”

Nang matapos ang interbyuna yon, umiiyak na si Bacolod.

Naapektuhan talaga siya ngsalaysay. “Hindi ako makakain,hindi ako makatulog,” aniya.“Nang inulit ko ang kuwento saaking writer, si Charlotte Dian-co, hindi siya makapagsalita.”

Ang pag-uusap nilang yonang siyang naging simula ngkanyang “personal journey” at

ng kanyang team.Maging ang shoot mismo,

aniya, ay naging mahirap at“lubhang emosyunal.”

Nakatagpo naman siya ngmatinding cast na kinabibilangannina Lance Raymundo, SnookySerna, Maria Isabel Lopez, FonzDeza, Andrea del Rosario, Von Ar-royo, at mga kaibigan niya sateatro na sina Bong Cabrera,Chrome Cosio at Ana AbadSantos.

Hindi naging madali angpagkuha ng rape scene, sabini Bacolod. “May gustoakong ipakitang bago. Hindisexual yung rape kundiemotional. Nakakatakot,pero naniniwala kami na isaitong kuwento na dapatipakita,” diin niya.

Nagsimula nang ipal-abas ang Fidel sa IndieSineRobinsons Galleria ka-hapon.

Kris deserves a break

naughty gay puts it, “Nakilala siKris bilang taklesa sa TV. Lalona kaya sa totoong buhay? Sabiniya sa media statement niyanever siya nag-cause ng com-

motion? Eh ’di ba pinagsigawannya on national TV na nagka-STD siya dahil kay Joey Mar-quez?”

Be that as it may, let’s giveKris a break. She still hasn’t ful-ly recovered from the death ofher mom Cory, so she’s still tooemotionally drained to dealwith marital woes. Once upon atime, I was close to Kris becauseshe was an “anak-anakan” ofmy mom and she’s the ninangof my son IC.

That’s why every time she’sembroiled in a scandal, I can’thelp but look back and remem-ber how simple she was andhow uncomplicated her life waswhen she made her first TV ap-pearance as a guest in mymom’s show See-True a fewhours after her own mom be-came President.

Even back then, Kris was al-ready spunky and feisty. Thatsame spunk will see herthrough this tumultuousepisode of her colorful life. Krismay not always be right, butshe’s always real. The wife inher may have lost some prideby confronting Mayen, but shehasn’t lost hope that all will be

well in the domestic front. Justas her late great mom wouldwant it to be.

From AlbertAlbert Martinez wasn’t able

to go to the wake of Tita MilaOcampo, the mom of his ex,Snooky Serna. I have fondmemories of our foursome dateswhen Albert and Snooky werestill a couple and I was the GFof his brother William back dur-ing my high school days.

“I was busy taping my twoteleseryes,” Albert said. “That’swhy I just relayed my condo-lences through a friend.”

Fast-forward to his mother-in-law, Amalia Fuentes, who hasunleashed a mouthful abouthim. What are his sentimentsregarding Tita Nena’s rift withhis wife Liezl? “They will al-ways be mother and daughterso they will always love eachother,” he explained. “It’s just sounfortunate that all this troubleis happening at this time whenLiezl is still recovering from theBig C.”

Are they pushing throughwith their silver wedding an-niversary celebration in Rome?“The trip is on standby becauseI can’t be gone for more thanfive days due to my schedule.”he replied. “We might justspend the actual day in a near-by place.”

Bong-ga!Kudos to Bong Revilla and

the excellent team of Ang Pan-day for being the official topgrosser in the 2009 MetroManila Film fest. It wasn’t easyfor them to spend close to P80million for just one movie. Itwas Bong who insisted that theyspend that much if they wantedto make a landmark film.

“Besides, I had a number ofreasons why I wanted it to bethe best among the Pandayfilms created by the KomiksKing Carlo J. Caparas, whichNinong Ronnie Poe did three se-quels of. It must be a fittingtribute to a King like him.”

Aside from beating them allat the box office, Panday alsobagged seven major awards in-cluding Best Picture and BestActor.

B Y the time this column comes out, the mediafrenzy about Kris Aquino and James Yap’s lat-est marital squabble must already be full-

blown. The political rivals of Kris’ brother, Noynoy, willmilk the issue for all it’s worth while Kris’ camp willexhaust every means of damage control.

Kris knows the danger ofgetting too close to a marriedman because she fell for two(Phillip Salvador and JoeyMarquez), many controversiesago. That’s probably why sheconfronted James’ fan/friend,Mayen Austria. As a wife, Krishas every right to do whatshe did.

Mayen’s version of the sto-ry is that Kris hurled invec-tives at her and badmouthedher mother. On the other

hand, Kris insists that shewasn’t combative at all.

It’s easy to passjudgment on Kris

because we allhave pre-con-ceived notions ofher based on howshe handles her-self and herguests on TV. Butthat would be un-fair. As oneOOOPS...James did it again
