POSTED IN THE ALAMAT MAILING LIST : Filipino trains Matt Damon Matt Damon's new film The Bourne Identity is being shown in the States at the moment and it features some Filipino Martial Arts. He trained for a month and half about an hour or more a day for the fight sequences. His trainer is a Jeet Kune Do (Bruce Lee's art) and Kali (Filipino edged weapons) specialist named Jonathan Eusebio. Jonathan did a great job preparing Damon, he moves pretty good in the film . The film is pretty good as a whole as well. --Rafael-- And in other news... Filipino draws Superboy SMALLVILLE: THE COMIC : 64-page one-shot chock-full of new stories and information straight from the continuity of the TV show!

It's only a matter of time before someone in the other cafe gets pissed be...

babbling fangirl :) Well, she's not really a fangirl but she did sign my guestbook! Hello Diane ! new stuff to read 1. IndieFilipino is now online. Check it out! Hmmm... as Gerry suggested, they should have something about indie Pinoy komix. 2. Pagedown , the 72dpi downloadable magazine is also now available. Still looking for heroes... Mark said : "We should realize that there is a human cost to having our people become migrant workers, Wired Magazine or not. We are not `the forerunner of tomorrow's distributed economy` because we want to, but because we don't have a choice ." Be that as it may (i've always wanted to use that phrase), our OFWs not having a choice but to work abroad so that they can feed their families is the main reason they are hailed as heroes. If they travelled abroad just for the heck of it, because they wanted to walk the earth, then they are adventurers and not heroes. And at the end of each day, they ear...
