#MMFF2016 Oro

By asking for Linda’s hand in marriage, Elmer, a small-scale miner, plans to finally establish a life of his own; separate from Kapitana, his long-time employer-benefactor who buys the gold he mines. Linda works as an elementary teacher, while Elmer barely finished high school. Pregnant with their child, Linda keeps this a secret from Elmer, fearing that this would only pressure him to marry her.  

Just when Elmer and Linda are about to reveal their plans and secrets to each other, their small mining community is disturbed by the arrival of an armed group, Patrol Kalikasan, masquerading as environmentalists. The loyalty of Elmer and the small mining community to Kapitana will be tested as they could not produce a permit to mine, even though they have been working the mines since World War II, with no effects of environmental degradation. As Kapitana scrambles to secure a permit to protect her community from the harassment of the armed group, Elmer and the rest of the community struggle to eke out a living, as Patrol Kalikasan settles down in their community, and takes over the mining operations.

As the provincial government and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) fight over the jurisdiction over small-scale mining operations, Elmer and Linda suffer the devastating consequences of the legacy of violence and corruption of the country’s turbulent political and ideological history.

#MMFF2016: Seklusyon

One of the eight official entry to the 42nd Metro Manila Film Festival, Seklusyon is a fictional horror-suspense-thriller that tackles the story of deacons on their last day of the journey to become priests, the mysteries and horrifying tests that they will face in a secluded convent will be the center of the story as they meet the "Miraculous" child named Anghela that is being taken care of a mysterious nun. Will the deacons be able to survive the tests? We will all find out this December 25, 2016. 

Seklusyon stars Ronnie Alonte, Rhed Bustamante, Dominic Roque, Neil  Ryan Sese, Lou Veloso, Phoebe Walker, Johnvic De Guzman, Elora Espano, Jerry O Hara, JR Versales, Sherry Lara Teroy Guzman. Directed by Erik Matti and produced by Reality Entertainment, Seklusyon will scare you on Christmas Day.

According to the tradition of the catholic church before, deacons have been sent to a remote convent on their last days before becoming a priest to test their will and to abstain them from all kinds of evil, they should not see, hear, and speak evil as it will be a step closer to committing sins and pull them away from the priesthood.

In 1947, a young deacon named Miguel (Ronnie Alonte) was on his way to the sacred convent for a week long retreat as he is just weeks from being ordained, but as he went through the path going to the secluded convent he saw the devastation and the wrath of the second world war had left the town. 

Arriving at the convent Miguel met Mang Sandoval (Lou Veloso) the caretaker and three other deacons. All wasn't already well for Miguel when he entered the convent and things gets even worst when a "Miraculous" child named Anghela Santa Ana takes refuge in the convent as it was revealed that the girl they thought to be a messenger of the lord was an exact opposite, bringing confusion and overthrowing the minds of the deacons including Miguel. 

The sins of the four deacons that they committed before they entered the seminary started to haunt them as days of their stay in convent passed by, the weakening faith and the suppression of the deacons became very instrumental for Anghela to easily manipulate the deacons, as she spreads evil inside the convent using these things with the help of Cecilia.

Will Anghela be successful in turning the deacons on her side, or will Miguel and the rest of the deacons be able to resist the works of evil and be able to survive the test of faith. Are their prayers enough to save them?

Pinoy Pride 39

One cannot discount the fight in the Filipino heart that enables him to stand up and fight back every time he goes down.

His older brother Jason (39-2-0; 24 KOs), meanwhile, will try to continue his winning ways against Jose “Quiebra Jicara” Alfaro (28-10-1; 24 KOs) from Nicaragua, a former WBA Lightweight champion. Both fighters boast of a 59% knockout rate and going the distance doesn’t seem like an option between them.
