Cinemalaya
About “deserving winners, big
disappointments in Cinemalaya film festival” (Page 1 July 22,
2008):
It is heartening to see so many
talented Filipinos making great films. Congratulations all you
winners. And better luck next time to Ellen Ongkeko Marfil (Boses)
and Paul Alexander Morales (Concerto), who I think should both have
won.
I write this to criticize the
government. It is no thanks to it that Filipinos are accomplishing
so much with so little help from a government. Of course, the
Cultural Center of the Philippines is government-owned and
government-operated. But the pittance CCP spends on Cinemalaya is
the very least government should do.
