I happened to listen to a shocking tidbit that proudly said, “Do you know that the Philippines is in the Bible?” Then it quoted Isaiah 24:15. How does the Philippines figure in this verse?
This attempt at a historical epic by the Filipino movie industry – notorious for its pandering to moviegoers well-known for their love of crass sex, violence and plain trash and nonsense such as Iskul Bukol, Desperadas 2, One Night Only – is commendable.
Year after year, hundreds of Filipinos get maimed and a few are killed by firecrackers and stray bullets in New Year’s Eve celebrations. Plus, ugly billboards and too many holidays.
