i'm sure you have seen many of them all over the town. but these displays really take me back to my childhood. animated Christmas Displays is a really unique concept because you can customize the theme every year. they are sometimes life-sized dolls that move and portray a story in relation to Christmas.
this concept was started by Manila COD years back. it has become a legend and with that, shoppers can go to COD every Christmas season after every show. unfortunately, Manila COD closed but the greater news is, there are more establishments that relived the tradition of COD and made it a growing culture in the country.
one of which is Marikina City that runs the display for the first time portraying the trip of Mary and Joseph to Bethelehem until the birth of Jesus.
from the promising director, and recipient of Lion of the Future and Horizon's Prize in the Venice film festival, Pepe Diokno, we are able to see the film "ENGKWENTRO" a story of brotherhood in the cruel society.
SYNOPSIS
Inspired by true events, 'Engkwentro' tells the story of Richard and Raymond, two teenage brothers on opposite sides of a gang war. Richard is the leader of his gang, 'Bagong Buwan' ('New Moon') while Raymond is just being inducted into 'Batang Dilim' ('Children of the Night'), a rival gang led by charming solvent boy, Tomas. Complications arise at a deadly midnight 'engkwentro' (clash), when Tomas gives Raymond the task of killing his older brother.
All this happens while the City Death Squad lurks the streets. This real-life vigilante group is allegedly backed by the omnipresent Mayor Danilo Dularte Suarez, and is responsible for many unsolved murders of teen gangsters. Today, they are hunting down Richard. Will they take the younger brother, too?
you have two sections for this movie. each section is like you're watching a Blairwitch project because the camera runs non-stop to get every scene. so in that sense, you can say that the actors really know their part and how every scene should be delivered. Felix Roco's acting in his first major role is not bad. and Director Pepe Diokno really deserve those awards and making the best out of his cheap budget.
but on the other note, we should all be aware and also be vigilant of what's happening around us. we should all be protective of the rights of every person whether or not he or she is in the position. poverty really strikes and changes demeanor of every person. however, though we have people that should straighten things up, let us not allow them to just use their hands of steel and hide their false actions.

ENGKWENTRO will be shown in SM Cinemas on December 11-13 2009 only. for more information, visit www.engkwentro.com
we have been told that our history is very violent especially when we see those documentaries and photos from the history books. museums and literature expose the darkness that our ancestors experience under the hands of the colonizers. they suffered a lot in pursuit of liberty and our poor ancestors only had bolos and itak to fight against them. while the colonizers had guns and canons to destroy our barracks.
but then, we can not say that we know everything. some stories that are written maybe very different from what our grandpas and grandmas say. let us also take account from firsthand sources like them. others might only just say the wins but not the losses. if we could only see and feel their experiences, we might think that much have been hidden from us. these accounts can be seen at some exhibits and museums around Manila.
visiting the Zero In museums gave her an eye-opener towards the events that would greatly influence those who are able to see it.
other galleries that would educate us are the Ateneo Art Gallery, the Lopez Memorial Museum and the Museo Pambata. these exhibits are ongoing right now featuring the accounts that might enhance and gain more knowledge so we can better understand the history that had been hidden from us.
GMA Network has launched yesterday the video of a campaign that will educate Filipino voters in preparation for the May 2010 national elections. the song is entitled Bilog Na Hugis Itlog which signifies the circles on the ballot that should be shaded to vote for your bets. the video features the Sexbomb girls, known for their novelty songs, Ispageti, Halukay Ube and stars of their own show which have been running for several seasons already, Daisy Siete, also in the same network.

Computer ang magbabasa ng ating mga balota Kung mali ang pagmarka baka boto mo'y mabasura Sayaaaang!
Balota mo'y alagaan, boto'y makapangyarihan Huwag gusutin o dungisan upang tiyak na mabilang Ang boto mo, boto mo, makapangyarihan Pumili tayo ng tuwid, ng may paninindigan
Tunay na lider na magsisilbi sa bayan Yan ang kailangan, kailangan ng bayan Isang Presidente, Bise Presidente Mga Senador, puwede hanggang dose Isang Congressman at isang Party List lang Huwag na, huwag nang dagdagan Isang Mayor, may Vice Mayor At kung ilang Konsehal kailangan Isang Gobernador, at kanyang Bise At kung ilang Bokal, puwede!
Hanapin ang bilog Sa tapat ng pangalan ng kandidatong napupusuan Ang bilog, ang bilog sa tapat ng pangalan 'Yan ang dapat nating markahan
May bilog, may bilog na hugis itlog May bilog, may bilog na hugis itlog Ang kailangan sa bilog ay simpleng-simple lang Itiman, i-shade loob ng bilog Ang loob ng bilog na hugis itlog Huwag bibilugan, loob ang dapat itiman Ang loob ng bilog na hugis itlog Aw!

have you ever felt choosing between two persons: someone you love and someone who loves you? and when you decided to go for the person you love, it turns out that the person is not going for you. you made all efforts to be with that person and even lied to the other just for the sake that you don't want to hurt her feelings.
that's the plot of this story Two Lovers starring Joaquin Phoenix and Gwyneth Paltrow. Joaquin Phoenix plays an aspiring photographer who just came from a heartbreak thus being set up by his parents to a family friend, Sandra (Vinessa Shaw). not really getting interested with her, he finds Michelle (Paltrow), a neighbor who happens to be also involved with another man. but Michelle struggles in the relationship because the man she's with is not yet divorced with his wife. Phoenix, on the other hand, gives his concern and professes his love to Paltrow to a crazy extent of asking her to marry him. but unexpectedly, Paltrow's wishes to be with the other man is granted thus leaving Phoenix depressed -- resulting to coming back to Shaw.
a very timely story about love and its consequences. you might be interested with the cheesy scenes from the movie and the crazy stuff that guys might do in fighting for love but ends in an unsuccessful attempt.
