I strongly agree though on the latter part that cultivating a culture of independent filmmaking and finding a way to market it internationally. After all we have the 'Maximo' phenomenon for starters. I'm sure there are more to come with the talented lot of young filmmakers we have. Though sadly, it will become an 'export' that we, or at least most Filipinos, won't be able to enjoy. I also read your entry on the Oscars (which I've been intoxicated with since Dec.) and was a relief to find your choice for The Queen as Best Pic. I like the film, but over the rest I loved The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine. I dunno Sir if you remembered guesting a forum once in Ateneo de Davao for Mass Comm juniors. It was about press freedom and media responsibility and you were with Nelson Canete of Super Radyo. We were the ones po kasi who organized that under our teacher Atty. Charina Zarate. Anyway, glad to have found your blog. Will link yours to mine. Jay Hello Sir Caloy,
