  Surviving Year 2021 | The Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) The Metro Manila Film Festival (2021) The Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2021 suffered a low turn-out, for a good reason.  The movie ticket price is pointed out as one of the causes for the MMFF’s failure. You will spend at least 450 pesos to watch an MMFF 2021 entry. That is a significant amount of money during a time of uncertainty and when every peso saved is necessary. Personally, I don’t want the festival to fail or run to a closure. That would be a very sad day for the common people who are working in the movie industry. But unfortunately, the behaviors of the producers, even before the pandemic, is heading to a trajectory of the festival's cliff dive. This is a big presumption from my end, and the festival might recover next year. But for the MMFF 2021, here is my personal opinion on why it generated low ticket sales. Top Four (4) Reasons why the Metro Manila Festival 2021 was not a Success The Threat of Covid-

Voltes V: Legacy - An Epic Ride TV Series Adaptation by GMA Network GMA Network is making a TV adaptation series of the famous anime classic Voltes-V.

Finally, we will get to see the hero robot once again protecting the Earth and defeating bad guys. Voltes-V Legacy also has a Filipino cast which adds more thrill to the excitement.  But, as excited as I am, a small portion of thought remains in my mind that this may be another disappointment. Voltes-V Legacy can either be an epic ride or just a repeat of Victor Magtanngol. For the past two decades, GMA Network has not seemed to invest in quality Computer Generated (CG) Effects. Notably the famous snake scene of Victor Magtanngo l among many others. Aside from the poor CG Effect, we should also look out for inappropriate make-up. A very common example of this is a “w

ABS - CBN 's Ang Probinsyano | It's all About the Ratings | Semi-Porn on Primetime ABS-CBN’s Ang Probinsyano has aired another episode that contains sexually suggestive material. It’s very disappointing that a network such as ABS, with a big production crew, cannot think of a more conservative way to create a scene.  The ratings of the show must be dipping and the entire crew is in desperate need of ratings. Or, the entire production crew of Ang Probinsyano has lost their moral value.  Ang Probinsyano’s time slot is after dinner time for most Filipino households. And in most families, after dinner, everyone will be gathered in front of the TV. Unlike the superstars of the show, most Filipinos are like mine. We have one small living area where the family gathers after dinner. And here’s the point of this article, ABS-CBN’s Ang Probinsyano airing episodes loaded with sexually suggestive material that should not be available to young children. Not everyone lives in a big house, wi
