Local Sources

I checked the papers and Internet and it seems Honor thy Father isn't being shown at my favorite theaters, or at least, the decent theaters I go to. Watching a movie in some second-rate theater is too unpleasant an experience. I don't want to sit for hours on smelly cushions in between loud, obnoxious people ever again.

With luck, perhaps I can find a "sample" of the movie in a local shop (or dingy back alley) to bring home for... -ahem- private non-profit screening. It might not benefit the local film industry and would actually be harmful to it but the way I see it, I can still do my patriotic duty to buy local. Rest assured, I will do my best to find a copy (re)produced right here in the Philippines, prepared and sold by native bootleggers with the finest homegrown ingredients.

Pinoy pride!

Sinulog 2011

The Sinulog activities are drawing near. There's an energy in the air, I can feel it. The city seems abuzz and there's a lot of hustle and bustle even at night. A lot of people, including foreigners, have come for the festivities.

A lot of people means a lot of traffic and crime. It's a problem which I'm sure the government is familiar. It's always a problem this time of year.

Watch yourself out there.
