Filipinos everywhere

I caught the last two minutes of Krocodylus on StarMovies. I was channel surfing and came to a stop when is saw this wet girl on top of this wet guy. (I think anyone would stop to see something like that). Guy says some chreesy like and kisses the girl and they proceed to make out on that muddy riverbank. Credits roll and I was surprised to see the names of Susan Africa and Maureen Larrazabal. Now I'll have to try and catch the rest of this B-movie and see if Maureen get's wet and muddy with Krocodylus!


Talking about kissing, coming out this September 2002 is KISSING CHAOS the trade paperback.

"In September 2001, Oni Press debuted KISSING CHAOS, the first full-length miniseries by Arthur Dela Cruz. Released every 3 weeks, the eight-issue miniseries built a hardcore fan following that waited with baited breath for each installment to see where the mystery was going next. It even earned Dela Cruz an Eisner Award nomination for Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition. Now, marking the year anniversary of the first issue, Oni will be releasing the trade paperback collection of the full series.

Filipino comic book artist/writer Arthur Dela Cruz... "had a unique visual voice that we thought really stood apart from the accepted notion of independent comics. It was exciting to unleash it upon the world."

KISSING CHAOS is the story of three teenagers who have each stumbled over the line onto the wrong side of the law. Circumstance throws them into the same stolen car and they head out across America as police cars and news vans pursue them. The farther they get, the stranger things appear, hints of a larger conspiracy begin to become apparent, and a twisted past that dogs one of them comes to light.

Dela Cruz's work can also be seen as part of the art team working on the current Oni Press miniseries SKINWALKER, first issue on sale May 30th.


And on the lighter side...

Check out MARITESS VS.THE SUPER FRIENDS , the latest flash animation work of Dino "Bert is Evil" Ignacio. It's based on the stand-up routine of Fil-Am comedian Rex Navarette and it's a seven minute story on the hilarious misadventures of a Filipina maid working in the Hall of Justice.

PANDAY RIDING THAT HEROIC CYCLE Below is an email ELSA BIBAT posted in the Alamat mailing list , prompted by a thread about making/writing/creating a new Panday story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Okay, okay, I'm back...and I was hoping to have a break from writing stuff. Anyway, it is incredible that someone actually remembered the post. It's been lost to time for exactly a two years now. Thank you for notifying me. Let's begin with the original videotapes. My original videotapes are lost to time, but, I caught all three of the trilogy in ABS-CBN's FPJ Theater... or was that Saturday Action Cinema? GMA 7 went the entire nine yards and showed the entire series in one of their old Tagalog action film shows that were on Saturday nights. The sight alone of the aliens of Panday IV raising the undead and turning innocent villagers to badly made-up extras makes my belly ache. As an aside, FPJ should exercise the rights a...

I AM A FILIPINO

I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future. I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living ...

Couple of weeks ago, Ms. Diyco featured another campaign made by the creatives here at Harrison Communications. Here's her review about the Neozep "Neozerye" TV campaign: Romancing the mighty colds cure ADS AND ENDS, Nanette A Franco-Diyco BUSINESS WORLD Vol. XX, No. 139, Friday-Saturday, February 9-10, 2007 http://www.bworldonline.com/Weekender020907/main.php?id=marketing_diyco The four television commercials that serialize the life of pretty housemaid Luwalhati, culminating in a storybook wedding to her once-upon-a-time señorito from the imposing mansion belong to an ad campaign awards class all its own. There have been other spoofs of soap operas selling other brand categories in the past. But for several reasons put together, the Neozep series of commercials that began with honest-to-goodness ad teasers that looked and sounded like teasers for true-blue soap operas proved ultra entertaining and more importantly, "reinforced Neozep’s leadership and further s...
