MOVIE TRAILER: 'Bayang Magiliw' indie film on government and satire


At the presscon-preview of “Bayang Magiliw,” director Gil Portes announced that his film will be shown in select SM theaters on April 17 and will premiere on April 15 at SM Megamall. He also said that the film was graded B by the Cinema Evaluation Board and classified P16 by the Movie & Television Review & Classification Board.

Featuring in 'Bayang Magiliw' is upcoming star Ellen Adarna which shares limelight with Wendell Ramos and G Toengi.

According to an article from Tempo, “Bayang Magiliw” was very well received by the press, finding it very entertaining, but with a timely and relevant message on the importance of responsible parenthood and family planning.

“Bayang Magiliw,” is an independent film that talks about the irony of good governance.

Filemon Almazan, regarded as a respectable mayor in the town, is played by Wendell Ramos who outlaws responsible parenthood, particularly the use of artificial planning. Despite the family planning seen in the movie, Portes reiterated Bayang Magiliw as a fictional story and not a reflection of the controversial RH Law.

“I just want to tell a story,” said Portes, noting the movie was inspired by a true story of a former political icon in his town in Quezon.

The B grade entitles “Bayang Magiliw” to 65 percent tax rebate, while the P16 classification allows teenagers (16 above) and adults to watch the film, comedy with a touch of drama.

“Bayang Magiliw” is narrated by Tony Marino, who played the king in “The King and I” in Australia and starred in several Broadway musicals.

Introduced in “Bayang Magiliw” is AaronYanga, whose love scene with Ellen Adarna is another “highlight” of the film.

Gil has directed many smalltown films, notably “Saranggola,” “Gatas,” and “Mga Munting Tinig,” all of them sent to the Oscars (foreign-language category). “Mga Munting Tinig” won best picture and best director at the Urian and FAMAS Awards.

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u...
