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.

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...

The Mini Manifesto

LET'S BURN THE MAPS. Let's get lost. Let's turn right when we should turn left. Let's read fewer car ads and more travel ads. Let's not be back in ten minutes. Let's hold out until the next rest stop. Let's eat when hungry. Let's drink when thirsty. Let's break routines, but not make a routine of it. LET'S MOTOR.™ This is the copy for the MINI “Let’s Motor” campaign. The creatives who created this campaign said they weren’t just writing copy on how great it would be to own a Mini, they were writing a manifesto, a way of life for people who drive a Mini. I just love how the copy has rhythm, how it just flows and rolls off the tongue, how it just wants you to go out and drive and just keep driving. Makes me also wish I could write copy like that. More wonderful copy ads can be found at: http://www.libraryofmotoring.info/miniprintads.html

the sons and daughters of Kanlaon

Last Friday, we attended the 40th Anniversary of KBS, the Kanlaon Broadcasting System, where my mom and dad once worked. I was still a baby when my dad worked there. I barely remember the people there. One of the first people to greet me was Lando, my dad's old driver. Him, I remember. As the story goes, when I was a baby, I could not pronounce his name and just started calling him "Agoong". Hence, he got that nickname and that's what everyone called him. I remember how we used to play chess while waiting for dad to finish work and how I always forced him to make me win. (Makes me wish I forced him to teach me how to play chess better and learn how to not win things so easily.) As expected, as my mom re-introduced me to her old office mates, they all looked surprised and delighted to see me. They would then immediately extend their hand, palm down, and show me how small I was when I first met them. Some would pretend to carry me and tell them they were the ones who ca...
