Vanguards of Philippine Cinema.
Thursday, March 4, 2010 1:27 No CommentsAt the heart of the urban jungle that is Makati, a team of production crew members, actors, and actresses (veterans and rising stars) lined up to face a firing squad of cameramen and media people; questions were fired, defenses went up, and an already great film was glorified further in the process.
