The 10 Best Macho Dancer Movies EverIf the Western has the Wild West with its cowboys, the Macho Dancer Movie nestles within the dark walls of the Gay Bar with its cast of gyrating, undressing male performers. Macho dancers are not to be confused with the callboy/common prostitute or the torero/live sex performer, although they can be those too. The Macho Dancer's weapon is his particular brand of striptease. And just as the Western is American and the Samurai film Japanese, the Macho Dancer Movie is quintessentially Filipino. Is Continue reading
CINEMATIC TRADITIONS For those who were around during the heydays of Philippine movies, there’s no denying that we were treated to the so-called cinematic traditions. Foremost in the traditions is the invention of the words “bida” and “kontrabida.” From the Spanish word vida to mean life, the bida is the life or the hero of the movie and the kontrabida is the antithesis of the bida. Another common thing is the phrase “the end” which is normally seen at the end of a movie. For some other phrases, we got used to se Continue reading
Iisa Pa Lamang (TV Series) Most Memorable and Most Favorite Lines Ever!Iisa Pa Lamang (TV Series) shown on ABS-CBN has ended last Friday, November 07, 2008, after 5 months or so of showing on Philippine primetime television.

The return of IISA PA LAMANG’s MOTHER-DAUGHTER TANDEMNovember 4, 2008 IISA PA LAMANG characters have a way of making light what should be an otherwise dramatic and emotional situation.

Isadora: Di ako naniniwala sa iyo. Pina-plastic mo lang ako… Sophia: Ma, na-depress ako nung nawala ka. Isadora: Totoo ba yan? Umiyak ka ba talaga nung nalunod ako sa kumunoy? Ayos Continue reading

TV Soaps: Entertainment in LoopholesTV Soaps: Entertainment in Loopholes If there is one thing I am starting to pick up again now that I have more predictable lifestyle it is being able to watch more tv programs aside from the news and public affairs shows — and really establish a regular TV viewing habit. I was a tv junkie before I started working in the media. I knew the plot of each soap — whether they were called teleserye, sineserye, soap opera, fantaserye or telefantasya. I saw the rise and fall of different program f Continue reading
Iisa Pa Lamang - Famous Lines Do you just love the catfight going on in Iisa Pa Lamang, a popular primetime teleserye on ABS-CBN? My mother just cannot let the day pass by without a dose of Catherine-Scarlet-Isadora scenes. I am not sure if this is really good in the truest sense of the word since my GMRC teacher might not appreciate the rude and bitcy lines that seem to propagate the Iisa Pa Lamang script but anyway, it can’t be denied that watching Claudine Barretto (Catherine), Angelica Panganiban (Scarlet), and Cherry Continue reading

Iisa Pa Lamang Fanatic!Photo Credits: Wikipedia I am Iisa Pa Lamang's number 1 fan since it started months ago. I go gaga over Catherine Dela Rhea's "palaban" attitude portrayed by Ms. Claudine Barretto-Santiago and I so love Cherry Pie Picache's villain role as Isadora where you love to hate her for her evil acts. It's also great to witness Claudine's heated arguments and conversations with Scarlet Dela Rhea-Castillejo played by Angelica Panganiban. Can't really get enough of this drama lol! It's good that some Iisa Continue reading
