Hi, everyone! My name is Charlton, and this is my first time writing a blog about my favorite artist. Read well, have fun, and be blessed!

Coco Martin

Rodel Pacheco Nacianceno (born November 1, 1981), known professionally by his stage name Coco Martin (Tagalog: [ˈkɔkɔ ˈmaɾtɪn]), is a Filipino actor, director, and film producer. He is best known for playing the lead roles in Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin, Walang Hanggan, Ikaw Lamang, Juan dela Cruz, and FPJ's Ang Probinsyano.

As of 2021, Martin has grossed 2.3 billion at the box-office, making him one of the top earning actors of the last ten years.At the 34th Gawad Urian Awards, he was recognized as the "Actor of the Decade".He is also recognized as the most awarded actor of his generation,with 119 awards and recognitions and 40 nominations from various award-giving bodies since 2006.

He is credited under his real name, Rodel Nacianceno for his roles as director.Martin is the chairman of his own production company, CCM Film Productions, he established in 2017.

2015–2021: Ang Probinsyano and critical success

In early 2015, he starred in a Philippine fantasy-drama anthology WansapanaSummer entitled "Yamishita's Treasures" alongside his leading lady Julia Montes. He also appeared in an episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya co-starring Angel Locsin and Ejay Falcon that was dedicated to the memory of Special Action Force members killed in the Mamasapano clash.

In September 2015 with an ensemble cast, Martin starred in his most successful television series to date, the TV adaptation of the late Fernando Poe Jr.'s film FPJ's Ang Probinsyano, .To portray the role, he had to train in martial arts such as Kickboxing, Arnis, and MMA.The program was originally set as a year-long series, but due to its continuous success and consistent top rating, it was extended indefinitely and finally ended on August 12, 2022. The longest-running television series, it lasted from September 28, 2015, to August 12, 2022, with a total of 1,696 episodes.Martin was given a certificate of appreciation for his portrayal of a highly dedicated CIDG Police officer.The citation was given during the 63rd Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Founding Anniversary.On 14 September 2016, Surigao congressman Robert Ace Barbers filed House Resolution No. 358 at the 17th Congress of the Philippines which commended the show for its efforts to promote crime awareness and prevention among viewers and endorsed Martin as "Celebrity Advocate for a Drug-Free Philippines."However, in 2018, the Philippine National Police (PNP) withdrew its support for "Ang Probinsyano" following its negative portrayal of the PNP in the television series.PNP spokesman Chief Superintendent Bong Durana said that an internal memorandum, signed by Director General Eduardo Garado, chief of the PNP Community Relations, was issued ordering all units, offices and personnel to refrain from assisting the producers of the series.In response to this, ABS-CBN has drafted a Memorandum of Understanding and has submitted it to the PNP for its comment, leading to a meeting with Martin, ABS-CBN Management, Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año along with PNP Chief Oscar Albayalde to resolve the issues. Due to the success of Ang Probinsyano, Martin was dubbed as the "King of Philippine Television" by various press and given numerous awards including the "Fernando Poe, Jr. Memorial award" at the 63rd FAMAS.In the same year, Martin starred in the film You're My Boss with Toni Gonzaga and in his second MMFF entry, Beauty and the Bestie with Vice Ganda, the third highest-grossing Filipino film of all time.

In 2016, he starred with superstar Nora Aunor in an indie film titled Padre de Familia directed by Adolf Alix Jr.The film was based on Martin's experiences working overseas. It premiered at selected cinemas in Europe and the Middle East via The Filipino Channel.In the same year, he starred in his third Metro Manila Film Festival entry, The Super Parental Guardians, along with Vice Ganda and Awra Briguela under Star Cinema. It was the second-highest grossing Filipino film of all time.

In 2017, Martin launched his own production company, CCM Productions, and had his first directorial and producer debut in the film Ang Panday, a 2017 Metro Manila Film Festival entry.The role was first popularized by late actor Fernando Poe Jr., hence, making it the second time Martin will portray one of his roles. In 2018, he produced another film Jack Em Popoy: The Puliscredibles, a 2018 Metro Manila Film Festival entry and starred alongside GMA Network artists Maine Mendoza and Vic Sotto.In 2019, he produced, wrote, directed and starred in the 2019 Metro Manila Film Festival entry 3pol Trobol: Huli Ka Balbon! with Jennylyn Mercado and Ai-Ai delas Alas.

In 2021, Martin starred in a romantic comedy film Love or Money with Angelica Panganiban under CCM Productions and Star Cinema.The movie was filmed on various locations in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Coco Martin It has been a long journey for Kapamilya actor and dubbed “Teleserye King” Coco Martin to get to where he is right now. From being discovered on independent films to introducing himself in the mainstream, and now remaking what was yesterday’s biggest hits on screen.

Coco proved himself worthy of the smallest up to the largest trust given to him on handling projects.

Gawad Urian 2017 Predictions

photo grabbed from: http://www.rappler.com/entertainment/31595-live-blog-36th-gawad-urian

Dubbed as the Philippine version of the British Academy of Film and Television Awards and the Oscars (then again, why does there have to be a Western counterpart to every Filipino original), the prestigious Gawad Urian comes back to celebrate the best of Filipino films once more, now reaching its glorious 40th year of ceremony. The judges are composed of a number of Filipino National Artists such as Bienvendio Lumbera, among others, and notable film critics such as Tito Valiente, all of whom can collectively be called the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino (MPP). This past year has been a spectacle for Filipino films as the nominees of the Gawad Urian have been multi-award-winning works in film festivals both local and foreign. I have seen almost all of the films nominated only by happenstance that I get to catch them in the theatres where they would have only about one to three days of screening only to be replaced by a Western film that would earn probably 10 times more than these independent films. However, this does not tamper with the quality (and, in a better world, the popularity) of these Filipino films that boasts rich narratives made by our own Filipino filmmakers. What I shall do is to assess, the way I see it, which film would most likely nag each of the awards; nonetheless, we must never forget that the film that wins the award does not necessarily indicate that it is better than the others; all of these films share a unique quality to their creative aspects and should be given the credit that they deserve given that they have been among the nominees of the Gawad Urian this year. Now, without further ado, let us venture into the best of this year’s Filipino Cinema (as seen by the MPP).

Best Sound

And the nominees are:

Hinulid, Mark Laccay

Women of the Weeping River, Albert Michael Idioma & Immanuel Verona

Ang Babaeng Humayo, Corinne De San Jose, Mark Locsin & Che Villanueva

Pamilya Ordinaryo, Albert Michael Idioma & Emmanuel Verona

Ma Rosa, Albert Michael Idioma

Paglipay, Andrew Milallos

Baboy Halas, Willie Apa, Jr. & Charlie Daclan

It is arguable, questionable even, whether foley artists from the other films deserve the award more in this battle of the sound than the sound recordists whose recordings are the diegetic (natural) sounds. Even thinking of assessing their mixing is difficult enough for me. But what I do know is that Hinulid has missed my watchlist this year, but I have a friend who was there to tell me all about it, and I’ll just trust his word: Hinulid has crisp sound. As for the other nominees, I prefer choosing as my top three choices Ang Babaeng Humayo, for its foley, also dubbed as sound editing or in layman’s terms the “making of the sound”, that sets the tone of the whole film, even in the silence that is marked by the cutting of the sound, notable in the air-videoke performance scene between Hollanda and Horacia as they were singing happily in the living room, Pamilya Ordinaryo, for capturing the rawness and grittiness of the sound of the streets and the despair that comes with it (better than Ma Rosa did), and Baboy Halas, for captivating the audience with the sounds of the forest and nature by carefully placing the microphone to record the hymn of the far-flung places deep into the woods of Mindanao and into the heart of the indigenous community.

Will win: Baboy Halas

Could win: Ang Babaeng Humayo

Best Music

And the nominees are:

Paglipay, Gian Gianan

Women of the Weeping River, Kit Mendoza

Saving Sally, Pablo Pico

Pauwi Na, Pike Ramirez, Paolo Villaluna & Veena Ramirez

Tuos, Jema Pamintuan

I’m going say this first and foremost of all: I don’t remember much of the music used in each of the nominees. To be perfectly honest, the trouble I have with this category is that music taste is completely arbitrary and different between individuals, that’s why I would assess the music by how it was incorporated into the film more than the actual score and arrangement. Probably the best scores, in my opinion, are Saving Sally and Tuos, where the former builds on a rom-com vibe whereas the latter centered on the solemnity of Filipino folk music. Narrative-wise, both scores have been blended well up to the point of karmic duty to the audience for a wonderful audio-visual experience.

Will win: Tuos

Could win: Saving Sally

Best Editing

And the nominees are:

Women of the Weeping River, Carlo Francisco Manatad

Ma Rosa, Diego Marx Dobles

Pauwi Na, Ellen Ramo & Paolo Villaluna

Ang Babaeng Humayo, Lav Diaz

Pamilya Ordinaryo, Carlo Francisco Manatad

Paglipay, Zig Madamba Dulay

Die Beautiful, Benjamin Gonzales Tolentino

I have not seen Pauwi Na but I heard that it’s good but the editing is just basic. The others in this category I definitely can comment about; however, the picks I have to place above all else are Die Beautiful, my prediction for MMFF 2016 Best Editing which lost to arguably last year’s best Filipino documentary Sunday Beauty Queen, and Pamilya Ordinaryo, which won best editing in last year’s acclaimed Cinemalaya 2017. Perhaps the better thing to say is that in my book, both could easily be tied for the position, with Die Beautiful’s non-linear editing that contributes to the power of its story-telling, and Pamilya Ordinaryo’s easy cuts from one pain to another whilst including inside the frames the poverty in the streets through the lens of CCTV camera footages; nevertheless, I placed Die Beautiful just a little ways up the road simply because I wouldn’t pass on an unconventional narrative tool that it used: telling the story in an uncouthed fashion (and give Benjamin Tolentino his Urian already! Recall his editing works in the masterpiece Transit and Dagitab, both from Cinemalaya, one from 2013 and 2014, respectively).

Will win (hopefully): Die Beautiful

Could win: Pamilya Ordinaryo

Best Production Design

And the nominees are:

Ma Rosa, Dante Mendoza

Die Beautiful, Angel Diesta

Ned's Project, John Paul Sapitula

Women of the Weeping River, Harley Alcasid

Pamilya Ordinaryo, Harley Alcasid

Paglipay, Aped Santos

Saving Sally, Erik Manalo & Rommel Laquian

Hinulid, Ryan Cuatrona & Celine Belino

Baboy Halas, Joel Geolamen

I was surprised to the core when I found out that Ang Babaeng Humayo and Seklusyon was excluded from the nominees because period dramas are raining on everyone’s parade in this category for the previous Urian awards (save for last year’s Water Lemon a surprise win for the coveted art department prize). This year, no period drama is even on that list! And there aren’t even notable winners from Filipino film festival’s Best Production Design on this very list (recall, Tuos from Cinemalaya 2016 and Tisay from CinemaOne Originals)! Excitement aside, I feel as though there are a lot of strong choices in this category, especially since I, myself, am now recalling Women of the Weeping River, the film I watched with my uncle the previous year: I never remembered it until this category and how raw it is as it boasts the narrative of land-grabbing and clan wars in Mindanao. I just have to make shots in the dark and choose as the leads Hinulid and Die Beautiful.

Will win: Hinulid

Could win: literally any film on the category because that’s how confusing this set of nominees are

Best Cinematography

And the nominees are:

Women of the Weeping River, Rommel Sales

Ang Babaeng Humayo, Lav Diaz

Ma Rosa, Odyssey Flores

Paglipay, Albert Banzon

Pamilya Ordinaryo, Albert Banzon

Baboy Halas, Raphael Meting & Mark Limbaga

Tuos, Mycko David

Yet another surprise! Ma Rosa is on the list! Why is it another surprise, one might ask. Well, the film “intentionally” mimics the shakiness of a handheld camera and puposefully does it the whole film: it being a directorial decision is just the distasteful icing on top of the cake. All the other cinematography nominees are not surprises, in contrast. However, I have to put as one of my predictions Ang Babaeng Humayo simply because Diaz placed the camera in such a way that incorporates everything that is happening within the frames of his film. Another is Tuos’ Mycko David who won best cinematography for last year’s Cinemalaya and whose works speak for themselves (Kasal (2014) and Children’s Show (2014)). And last but not the least, and my personal favorite and bet, Baboy Halas with first time cinematographer Raphael Meting and well-known director of photography Mark Limbaga; in addition, the director of Baboy Halas is the amazing Director Of Photography turned director Bagane Fiola, this film had the perfect ‘matog’ (cinematography) ensemble! And what came out is a smooth and powerful handling of the camera.

Will win: Baboy Halas

Could win: Tuos

Long shot: Ang Babaeng Humayo

Best Screenplay

And the nominees are:

Ned's Project, John Bedia

Pauwi Na, Paolo Villaluna and Ellen Ramos

Women of the Weeping River, Sheron Dayoc

Paglipay, Zig Madamba Dulay

Ma Rosa, Troy Espiritu

Patay na si Hesus, Fatrick Tabada

Ang Babaeng Humayo, Lav Diaz

Pamilya Ordinaryo, Eduardo Roy, Jr.

This is the most interesting list of nominees for best screenplay that I have seen in my years of following the Gawad Urian. We have a plethora of great narratives and great dialogue and great screenplay. Some may not be as serious as the others but that is what makes this an interesting group. I remember laughing my heart out watching the first half of the film Patay na si Hesus ironically enough since the title denotes something sad, but I was unable to finish it so I’m not so sure. Usually comedies are my choice for best screenplay and my most favorite prediction was last year’s Mercury is Mine a dark comedy which won best screenplay for Cinemalaya 2016 (and I’m still wondering why it isn’t included in this quasi-perfect list of nominees). If one checks the previous winners of this Gawad Urian category, which I did, one will find a long list of serious-toned films that boasts its narrative and characters, rather than the laughs it has given, and this year is no different (my year of predicting comedy to win this is still in hold, I am yet to look for the right opportunity). Instead we turn to Urian favorite Lav Diaz (who won around 2-3 times in this category) and Troy Espiritu who wrote for Brillante Mendoza. What we get are two amazing screenplays, one fit for the current drug war in the Philippines and one another dragging yet bountiful gender sensitive harvest from Lav Diaz. I must admit when I was watching the latter, I felt bored most of the time, but instead I focused on the dialogue and narrative. Personally, Ma Rosa would be my bet narrative-wise but there is a magic in Lav Diaz’s Humayo that speaks more than volumes and can only be understood upon watching. The other favorites of mine are Pamilya Ordinaryo and Women of the Weeping River.

Will Win: Ang Babaeng Humayo

Could win: Ma Rosa

Long shot: Women of the Weeping River or Paglipay

In an ideal world (personal favorite but I don’t think it would win): Pamilya Ordinaryo

Best Supporting Actress

And the nominees are:

Rhed Bustamante, Seklusyon

Barbie Forteza, Tuos

Sharifa Pearlsia Ali-Dans, Women of the Weeping River

Anna Luna, Paglipay

Joan Dela Cruz, Paglipay

Lui Manansala, Ned's Project

Lotlot de Leon, MRS

Meryll Soriano, Pauwi Na

Janine Gutierrez, Dagsin

Mariam Zimadar Haji Caranay Raper – Women of the Weeping River

Who would’ve thought that Barbie Forteza would be in this category? Because I’m sure I didn’t. Her acting was just simply okay in Tuos. Another unexpected nominee is Rhed Bustamante, the Maria child in Seklusyon (my wild guess as to why she’s here is because she had inappropriate lines spoken in the film yet was delivered convincingly). And, wow, look at Lotlot De Leon in this list! Her acting in MRS is as great as it sounds. Along with her on top are Sharifa Pearlsia Ali-Dans and Mariam Zimadar Haji Caranay Raper from Women of the Weeping River simply because they have a character whose sketch is written for them which they flawlessly portrayed.

Will win: Lotlot De Leon from MRS

Could win: Sharifa Pearlsia Ali-Dans or Mariam Zimadar Haji Caranay Raper from Women of the Weeping River

Best Supporting Actor

And the nominees are:

Taha Daranda, Women of the Weeping River

Christian Bables, Die Beautiful

Jess Mendoza, Hinulid

John Lloyd Cruz, Ang Babaeng Humayo

Nonie Buencamino, Ang Babaeng Humayo

Julio Diaz, Ma Rosa

Another great list of artists and first time actors alike. Julio Diaz added that rawness and grittiness of a character to identify with even though he is easily judged upon first glance. And we must not forget Christian Bables’ amazing portrayal of a pained homosexual bestfriend in Die Beautiful who is equally matched by another portrayal of a transgender by John Lloyd Cruz in Ang Babaeng Humayo. Also in this list is the magbabalut played by Nonie Buencamino whose presence in the film as a quasi-confidant is essentially one of the most important characters in the film. Another critically acclaimed character is one played by Taha Daranda who won as the best supporting actor in QCinema 2016 for Women of the Weeping River. Who do I chose?

Will win (only by a few marks from the second): Christian Bables from Die Beautiful

Could win: John Lloyd Cruz from Ang Babaeng Humayo

In an ideal world: Taha Daranda from Women of the Weeping River

Best Actress

And the nominees:

Nora Aunor, Hinulid

Laila Ulao, Women of the Weeping River

Jaclyn Jose, Ma Rosa

Cherry Pie Picache, Pauwi Na

Ai Ai delas Alas, Area

Charo Santos, Ang Babaeng Humayo

Elizabeth Oropesa, MRS

Irma Adlawan, ORO

Hasmine Kilip, Pamilya Ordinaryo

The list of nominees in this category has got me tumbling up and down, left and right, and in all impossible directions. This is the list that nailed the game and pitted the best against the best, both veteran and new. Laila Ulao from Women of the Weeping River and Hasmine Kilip from Pamilya Ordinaryo, both fresh from the new actresses pool have each won best actress categories in their main film festivals from last year. And here comes veterans Ai Ai delas Alas, used to portraying happy characters, have come in this year’s list as she played a depressed brothel-head and used up all her tears, and Cherry Pie Picache for Pauwi Na, playing a supportive mother. Best actress winners and veterans are also in this list, Irma Adlawan from Oro won in MMFF 2016 and Elizabeth Oropesa from MRS has won in Sinag Maynila 2016. In addition to those overwhelming wins, Jaclyn Jose’s Palme D’or is not some ignorable trophy for best actress too! From this pool is the multiple Urian-nominated actress Charo Santos who is yet to get an award as her ticket for this year is her acting prowess for her character Horacia in Ang Babaeng Humayo. Last but not the least, is multiple-award-winning actress Nora Aunor for Hinulid. How do I choose between them? Only God knows how. The only problem I have with this list is that Pokwang isn’t here for her convincing acting in Mercury is Mine, one of my favorite films from last year’s run.

Will win ( but, literally anyone has a great chance but my guess, which is also a long shot at best, is): Hasmine Kilip from Pamilya Ordinaro

Could win: ANYONE NOMINATED THIS YEAR FOR THIS CATEGORY!

Best Actor

And the nominees are:

Tommy Abuel, Dagsin

Bembol Roco, Pauwi Na

Garry Cabalic, Paglipay

Khalil Ramos, 2 Cool 2 Be 4gotten

Paolo Ballesteros, Die Beautiful

Ronwaldo Martin, Pamilya Ordinaryo

Pepe Smith, Singing in Graveyards

I did not expect Pepe Smith to be in this category! Add to that is the shock in knowing that Khalil is nominated for this prestigious award, not that he doesn’t deserve it but I just didn’t see it coming (at all). But what rises up from this pool, better than the rest, is Paolo Ballesteros for his rightful portrayal in Die Beautiful. And, perhaps a little inches below him , is Tommy Abuel and his protruding character from Dagsin.

Will win: Paolo Ballesteros from Die Beautiful

Could win: Tommy Abuel from Dagsin

In an ideal world: Ronwaldo Martin from Pamilya Ordinaryo

Best Director

And the nominees are:

Brilliante Mendoza, Ma' Rosa

Eduardo W. Roy, Jr., Pamilya Ordinaryo

Zig Madamba Dulay, Paglipay

Lav Diaz, Ang Babaeng Humayo

Bagane Fiola, Baboy Halas

Paolo Villaluna, Pauwi Na

Avid Liongoren, Saving Sally

Sheron Dayoc, Women of the Weeping River

Lemuel Lorca, Ned's Project

This long list is as powerful as it can get. A battle between auteur directors Lav Diaz and Brillante Mendoza against the newest wave of indie filmmakers such as Lem Lorca, Eduardo Roy Jr., Zig Dulay, and Shero Dayoc! Truly this is a spectacle. The way I would judge is not based on the narrative but instead on the director’s control over the totality of the film: how the film language is translated directly to screen, and how the elements come across each other in ominous ways. What rises above is, of course, veterans Lav Diaz, whose signature long shots, dragging yet powerful story, and a long end mark (almost 4 hours! The shortest full length he has made in his years of filmmaking) is present, and with that on the same spectrum is Brillante Mendoza’s poverty-infused narrative that coalesces the realism in each frame, and the ‘signature’ shakiness of footage (it is perplexing why he had to do this). What comes close but not quite there yet are Zig Dulay since his story speaks well to a gravity that is not so in-your-face that was achieved with just the right amount of control, and with him is Eduardo Roy Jr. and his translation of a narrative that takes courage and patience. But, it really is such a bummer than even with my analysis, as hard as I can scrutinize it in detail, the list of winners in this category is a truly unpredictable batch of individuals, underdogs, in some cases. So I would go by saying that I would rather a new director win than these veterans, and I really hope they do!

Will win: Zig Dulay for Paglipay

Could win: Eduardo Roy Jr. for Pamilya Ordinaryo

Best Picture

And the nominees are:

Pamilya Ordinaryo

Paglipay

Ang Babaeng Humayo

Women of the Weeping River

Ma'Rosa

Baboy Halas

This is my favorite award, and it couldn’t be more obvious. In choosing a best picture, I include my own personal biases as a large part in choosing rather than analysis of previous winners and that’s how I plan to choose. I base it on overall impact, social relevance, and personal taste. Instead of doing the usual would win and could win, I would rank them all in order of my predictions, one being the best of the bunch and six being theleast of the bunch.

1. Pamilya Ordinaryo

2. Paglipay

3. Ma Rosa

4. Baboy Halas

5. Ang Babaeng Humayo

6. Women of the Weeping River

Old Scary Woman

Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay is an independent film directed and written by Antoinette Jadaone. The film stars Lilia Cuntapay, a famous horror actress. She is an actress born from September 16, 1935 in Gonzaga, Cagayan. She also has three adopted children. As an actress known for her roles in horror, one of her famous works is her roles in Shake Rattle Roll movies such as Yaya in Shake, Rattle and Roll III (1991). She is instantly recognizable whenever she appears on television or in the cinema. I remember hiding or covering my eyes with fear whenever she appears on screen and calling her the “Old Scary Woman”. That’s how talented she is with her acting in horror movies. With this, she is dubbed as the “Queen Of Philippine Horror”.

It won six awards in the 2011 Cinema One Originals Digital Film Festival. Lilia Cuntapay won best actress in the Festival. It also won an award in the Busan International Film Festival. The movie also received six nominations in the 35th Gawad URIAN Awards. It also won three other awards in three different festivals: Udine Far East Film Festival, Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival, and the Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival.

The film focuses on Lilia Cuntapay and her life as she prepares for her first nomination in an awards night as best supporting actress. In the film, we see her everyday life such as talking to her neighbors, waking up early for work, and more. Short clips of famous actors, actresses, directors and people from the film industry are shown of them talking about Lilia. The movie also shows how Cuntapay is struggling financially as she tries to take care her family.

As the movie progressed I asked myself these questions, why hasn’t she gotten an award nor praise in the industry? Why is she poor after all these years of working hard? Why is Lilia Cuntapay unknown? If she is instantly recognizable, why don’t the people in the film industry know her? Why is the film industry unfair?

After all these questions that keep popping up on my head as I watch the film, I realize that this movie isn’t a documentary but is actually a mockumentary. But what is a mockumentary? A mockumentary is a film that uses a serious documentary style format where it talks about a topic in order to mock/satirizes it. The use of awkward camera angles, zoom-ins and awkward conversations made the movie more credible. Not only does it make the movie convincing, it also adds a comedic flair to the film. The awkward scenes remind me of famous shows such as “The Office” and “Modern Family”, which use the same techniques used in this film.

This movie uses the form of a mockumentary not only to satirize the subject matter, but to show the viewers the hardships of some people in the film industry. Not only does it try to be funny, but it shows how hard it is to be in the film/entertainment industry. It shows that you can be in multiple shows, movies and bookings and still be financially unstable like Lilia. The movie shows how some actors/actresses are being underpaid by the industry. Another issue this movie tackles is how some people are being belittled and overworked in the industry, such as the scene where Cuntapay wasn’t allowed to pee in the bathroom since only the “main” cast was allowed to go inside the bathroom. It shows how some directors treat their employees differently from each other which should be addressed more.

I was dumbfounded when I realized that everything in the movie was actually fictional, even the awards night. I was both shocked and amazed when I was informed that everything wasn’t real, and it was all acting. Before I watched the film, I thought Cuntapay can only act in horror movies and take on scary roles, but this movie proves that she can do more than just horror. She was able to show a different side in her acting career which made the whole film more believable.

Cuntapay’s acting was realistic, every emotional scene was believable and you can feel the pain in some parts of the movie. One of my favorite scenes in the movie was when Cuntapay and her friends all gathered to watch her interview on ABS-CBN. The sequence started as comedic and then progressed into a dramatic one. I was laughing as she was preparing the food and was ushering the people to sit down. As soon as she realizes that her interview was cut from the show, you can feel the awkwardness and embarrassment from her and the people around her. I can feel the pain and embarrassment in her face as she realizes what has happened. As soon as I saw the pain in her face and the people around her comforting her, my eyes started watering. Her acting was convincing to the point where I shed a tear as I see her heart break.

In conclusion to this blog, I think this movie deserves more recognition from other people. It gives spotlight to Lilia Cuntapay, and shows the range of her acting abilities besides her roles in horror. This movie shows how much she has contributed to Philippine cinema and we will never forget her. Not only will we remember her as the “old scary woman” but we will remember her as an actress who has contributed to Philippine cinema. I highly recommend everyone to watch this movie, it will make you feel all kinds of emotions throughout the film!

Ah oo, kilala ko siya.

Kilala mo ba si Lilia Cuntapay? Siya ay isang actress na kilala bilang “Queen of Philippine Horror Movies” dahil sa kanyang pagganap sa maraming mga horror movies tulad ng Shake, Rattle & Roll III (1991), Aswang (1992), Shake, Rattle & Roll IV (1992), Shake, Rattle & Roll V (1994), Bahay ni Lola 2 (2005), Sukob (20016), at marami pang iba. Karamihan ng papel niya sa mga ginampanang pelikula ay bilang isang aswang o multo. Bagaman siya ay gumanap sa maraming mga pelikula, hindi niya parin nakukuha ang pansin o recognition na nararapat sa kanya.

Ang pelikulang Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay, na dinerekta ni Antoinette Jadaone, ay isang Mockumentary o Mock Documentary na inilabas noong 2011. Ang Mockumentary ay tulad ng isang Dokumentaryo ngunit hindi totoo at gawa lamang upang manuya. Kahit na itong pelikula ay ginawa upang magpatawa, mayroon itong pinapakita na totoo sa ating mundo. Ito ay ang hirap ng mga aktor o mga aktress sa industriya na naghihintay ng kanilang oras na maging kilala, ang paghihirap at pagsisikap na kanilang ginagawa upang mapansin, at ang importansya ng isang gantimpala para sa kanila.

Sa pelikulang Six Degrees, susundan natin ang buhay ni Lilia Cuntapay habang siya ay nagaabang para sa parating AFTAP Awards, dahil siya ay nominado bilang Best Supporting Actress. Noong una ko itong pinapanood, inakala ko na ito ay seryosong dokumentaryo lamang, ngunit sa buong pelikulang ito, mayroong mga eksena na biglang lilipat tayo sa imahinasyon ni Lilia Cuntapay, kung saan siya ay nagbibigay ng talumpati para sa kanyang AFTAP Award. Makikita natin na pinapanahon itong pelikula sa kasalukuyan dahil sa mga nangyayari sa paligid. Ngunit mayroong paputol putol na mga eksena, ang pagkakagawa sa pelikula ay chronological order o sunod-sunod.

Mahusay ang paghatid ng suspense galing sa direktor, dahil sa pagasa at paghihintay natin sa kung ano man ang mangyayari na susunod para kay Lilia Cuntapay. Mayroong eksena kung saan si Lilia Cuntapay ay naghintay ng matagal para sa kanyang scene ngunit pinagpalit lamang siya para sa ibang aktress, makikita natin ang galing dito ni Direk Antoinette Jadaone kung saan di siyang takot na sirain ang mga inaasahan ng mga manonood. Tingin ko na ang eksenang ito ay isang foreshadowing ng direktor para sa mangyayari sa dulo ng pelikula.

Sa buong pelikula, makikita natin ang conflict o sularinanin ni Lilia Cuntapay na siya ay hindi parin nabibigyang pansin o recognition kahit marami na siyang ginampanan sa iba’t ibang mga pelikula. Maraming mga eksena ng panayam mula sa iba’t ibang tao, artista at mga tao lamang sa kalye na nagsasabi na hindi kilala ang kanyang pangalan. Kailangan muna siyang ilarawan upang maalala ng mga tao kung sino siya. Mayroon din nangyari kung saan ay sinira ulit ng direktor ang ating inaasahan kung saan si Lilia Cuntapay ay masaya at nasasabik na marinig ang kanyang pangalan sa telebisyon ngunit hindi siya nabanggit. Makikita natin dito ang lungkot sa mukha ni Lilia Cuntapay.

Kita natin ang galing ng Aktress na si Lilia Cuntapay dahil sa kanyang pagarte. Kitang kita natin ang tunay na emosyon sa kanyang mukha dahil sa tulong ng camera work. Ang simpleng pagiyak at pagtanggal ng microphone sa kanyang tenga ay nagbigay awa sa aking damdamin para sa kanya. Pati sa dulo ng palabas kung saan siya ay napatitig na lamang sa harap ng mga tao, pinapakita dito na parang nagblangko nalang ang kanyang isipan o kaya napaisip kung worth it ba ang mga pinagdaanan niya para lamang makatanggap ng award ng iba. Sa pagsalita, pisikal, at interaksyon ng mga ibang tao kay Lilia Cuntapay maiisip natin na siya ay simpleng tao lamang tulad natin. Tayo, na mayroon ring mga pangarap para sa ating buhay.

Hindi lamang si Lilia ang magaling dito kundi pati rin ang kanyang mga kasama sa tahanan at ang kanyang mga kapitbahay. Ang mga kasama ni Lilia ay nakatulong sa pagpakita ng kanyang mga emosyon tulad ng kanyang lungkot at saya sa iba’t ibang mga nangyari. Nagpakita sila ng mga tunay na damdamin at hindi nagpahalata na sila lamang ay umaarte. Isa rin ito sa mga rason kung bakit inakala ko na tunay ang palabas na ito at hindi lamang isang mockumentary.

Walang nagsasalaysay sa kwento kundi ang pagsalaysay ng pelikulang ito ay sa paraang pagtatanong ng ating direktor, hindi lamang kay Lilia, kundi sa iba’t ibang mga tao. Makikita natin ito sa 2nd point-of-view, dahil ang buong ito ay galing sa mata o kamera ng ating direktor.

Sa isyung teknikal, mahusay ang camera work ng direktor dahil makikita natin, sa mga paglipat ng kamera at pag zoom in, ang mga damdamin ng mga karakter. Ang simpleng pagsunod sa reaksyon ni Lilia ay malaking tulong sa paghatid ng damdamin sa mga manonood. Ang lighting at sound effects na nagamit ay nakatuliong sa pagbigay ng hilaw o raw feeling sa mockumentary na ito. Ang paggamit ng voice over ay nakatulong upang hindi mainip ang mga manonood sa mga nangyayari.

Dahil sa mga elemento na nabanggit ko sa itaas, Ang Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay ay nanalo ng maraming mga parangal. Nanalo ang pelikula sa Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Audience Choice Award, at Special Jury Prize sa Cinema One Originals Digital Film Festival noong 2011, at nabigyan na rin ng pansin o recognition si Lilia Cuntapay matapos siyang ma parangalan bilang Best Actres. Nominado rin ang pelikula sa anim na magkakaibang kategorya sa 35th Gawad URIAN Awards. Nanalo ito Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival, at tatlo pang gantimpala na nanggaling sa magkakaibang asosasyon na internasyonal: Udine Far East Film Festival, Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival, at Busan International Film Festival. Nakuha ni Lilia Cuntapay at ng Six Degrees ang pansin o recognition na nararapat para sa kanila.

Omana Reviews

A film directed by Antoinette H. Jadaone, starring Lilia Cuntapay herself, "Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay" was a Cinema One Original that was released on the year 2011. The film is all about a veteran extra actress on movies who's about to be nominated on being the best support actor after a very long time in the industry. Six Degrees Separation won 6 awards in the "Cinema One Originals Digital Film Fest" including the best actress for Lilia Cuntapay herself. It also earned many nominations in the 2012 35th Gawad URIAN Awards and also won in Busan International Film Festival and Cinemalaya as well.

If you want to watch a Filipino film but without those cliche love story and has a different approach on comedy, this would be the perfect film to stream. It is posted in the Cinema One YouTube channel so check it out. This is a roller coaster ride full of drama and unexpectedly good humor. Well at the start of the film, I said to myself that this is just one of those typical documentaries that are interesting yet will get me to fall asleep after a few minutes. SPOILER ALERT, it isn't! I started to think that the film was a horror type of show due to the main's character job. As the movie goes by, I fell in love with almost all it's scenes. And I just realized then that it was a mockumentary which led me to liking the film a lot more because it surprised me.

Lilia Cuntapay did an excellent job on portraying herself. Her looks alone really gave definition to why she was always being recruited to be an extra in horror films. She acted for a lot of films as well. There are some that she were only three seconds shown on the whole film, and there are some that she was just there on the background of the frame composition as well. She was very fun to watch and when a dramatic scene in the film occurs, she never fails to put out that emotion to carry me away. I feel connected to her portrait from the start up to the end of the film. It left me a feeling that I've been rooting for her to win that best supporting actress award because I saw and felt what she's all been through and the way she showed how winning the award really meant to her. Her warm personality in the film also touched my heart. Seeing her wanting to remember all the names of the people that helped her reached what she is now was one of the best scenes. Even though it was shown in a comedic way, there is still that thing that touched my heart. One of the best elements of the film was it's unorthodox comedy approach. If you've watched the series named "The Office" starring Michael Scott, I had to say that Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay is similar to it. Those intentional awkward camera zooms and pans were magnificent. The close ups made the dramatic scenes great, while those a bit unstable shots made the funny scenes effective. The film had so many funny moments. You'll enjoy the Starbucks scene, but my personal favorite was when Lilia Cuntapay invited people in to her house to watch her segment in "TV Patrol" wherein there were even names of celebrities and other authorities pasted on the chairs inside her house. It was a very hilarious scene and it escalated to a dramatic scene after seeing not everyone she expected to come was there and she wasn't able to see her interview but only her name on the screen appeared. The hilarious scene became one of the most sad part in the film real quick.

A big thumbs up to the director's way of storytelling Lilia's career. It was not only a tribute to her long career as an unrecognized artist, but to those who are in the similar path like Lilia's as well. Antoinette Jadaone even showed through this film the sad reality in the industry. We always recognize the one's on the spotlight, the one's who's always get seen but barely recognize the one's behind those tiny details. A film can't be complete without those bit players even though there are still Main Characters. Lilia's life story in the film industry made all of these possible for director Antoinette to craft all of these into a masterpiece. The main realization the film left me was Lilia Cuntapay, a horror movie bit player for thirty years, showed that she can be the leading actress in a film as well and she handled it very great.

Queen of Philippine Horror Movies, the title Lilia Cuntapay got for being remembered as an old lady with a long hair and unusual face, has showed that she can be complex. When she had a debut to the Shake Rattle and Roll series up to her upcoming films, who would have thought that she will be given a role that she truly deserves after all those years. Although she passed away in the year 2016, I wasn't very sad about it knowing she got the chance to be in the spotlight and get an award that she deserves before the ending days of her life. Lilia Cuntapay can be considered as one big contribution to the Philippine cinema, and her movie "Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay" is a masterpiece that I really recommend for you guys to watch. Grab some snacks and enjoy!
