For the whole week, only Filipino films that were chosen by the organizers of the said festival will be shown in all theaters in Metro Manila and in some provinces.

Meet the Cast and Crew of ‘Aswang’: Is it Worth Watching?
It is my first time to be ‘indirectly’ involved in promoting a mainstream movie. The other Tuesday, I attended the second pocket press conference for the movie ASWANG, which was attended by its lead stars Paulo Avelino, Joem Bascon and Lovi Poe at Mesa Grill in Tomas Morato, Quezon City.
ASWANG stars Joem Bascon, Lovi Poe and Paulo Avelino ready to bite!
Just to give you a little background, Regal Films originally planned to produce an exact remake of the first ASWANG movie, where Alma Moreno played the lead role under the direction of Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes twenty years ago. Since there is a big obvious change in the society in the past years, scriptwriter Aloy Adlawan decided to make a screenplay with the necessary adjustments. When Jerold Tarog saw it, he suggested that they play around with the characters of the film which includes the inclusion of the Abuwaks. The film has the horror, suspense, family, drama, action comedy and romance factor. All in one, ika nga. In-aswang na lahat ng genre LOL.
Now let’s go to the Meet and Greet the cast part………
Lovi Poe and Paulo Avelino wants to bite and get bitten!
It is a tradition in the movie industry (international and local) to come up with a film that will scares or haunts its audience. It is already proven in the previous years that this genre sells – even if it talks about death and insanity.
ASWANG 2011 Starring Lovi Poe and Paulo Avelino
This year, Mother Lily’s Regal Entertainment Inc. brings you the ‘updated’ version of the horror classic ASWANG. The movie was directed by Peque Gallaga in 1992 and Alma Moreno played the title role.
For the new version, Lovi Poe bags this iconic role with Paulo Avelino as her leading man. Also included in the cast are Joem Bascon, Jillian Ward, Nina Jose, Mark Abaya, Albie Casino and Bembol Roco. Critically-acclaimed indie film director Jerrold Tarog is in-charge of the new version. I think Mother Lily liked how he directed last year’s Shake, Rattle & Roll ‘Punerarya’ episode, where Carla Abellana won some awards.
Random Thoughts While Watching ‘No Other Woman’
‘PEDRING’ invaded the country by storm and it is unfortunate that once again, our country was ‘visited’ by another typhoon. For the first time this year, we experienced brownout here at home. Last Thursday night, I slept at 9AM and woke up at 12pm for lunch. Went back to bed and woke up at 7pm for dinner. Still, the electricity is still off. I’m just glad that we have some candles and de bateryang lamp here at home. Got the electricity back by 8:30PM and went online immediately.
Let the real-life love tsunami begin!
IT seems like a lot of people were bored and a bit depressed due to the bad weather. Most students and employees went back to bed and slept. I even heard that the supposed red carpet premiere of the movie ‘No Other Woman’ starring Cristine Reyes, Derek Ramsay and Anne Curtis was postponed.
Sneak Preview of ‘My Neighbor’s Wife’ Pool Scenes in Subic
I am a Filipino movie fan whether that is mainstream or indie. It is the reason why I grabbed the opportunity when I was invited to come to the shooting of the upcoming sexy-drama film ‘My Neighbor’s Wife‘ yesterday in Subic. I mean, why not? Dennis Trillo, Jake Cuenca, Carla Abellana and Lovi Poe are four good reasons to say yes! 
My Neighbor's Wife Sexy Pool Scene in Subic
Together with the promo staff of the said movie and other friends from the online media, we all went to Kamana Sanctuary Resorts and Spa in Subic, Zambales. When we arrived, the cast just finished shooting some water adventure scenes (Jetski etc.). Some of the cast members were already eating their lunch while the rest granted interview requests.
Despite the unpredictable weather, the taping pushed through. I’m lucky because I was given the chance to interview all four and I took a lot of photos too!
