"The ultimate insult to the filmmaker is yung pakialaman yung trabaho niya nang hindi sinasabi [sa direktor]; nang hindi kayo nagkakasundo, o hindi man lang nagpapaalam. So, sa akin, yun ang ultimate sin that any producer can do to a director," says director Brillante Mendoza (in photo). He is directly referring to the travails of fellow director Tikoy Aguiluz with the latter's film, Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story.

Pabor si direktor Brillante "Dante" Mendoza na maisakatuparan ang hinihingi ng isang petisyon na ipalabas ang "uncut and unaltered" version ng pelikula ni Amable "Tikoy" Aguiluz VI, ang Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story.

"I'm really all for him," lahad ni Direk Brillante tungkol sa kapwa direktor.

Sinabi ito ni Direk Brillante, na di lang minsan itinanghal na best director sa mga international film festivals, nang makapanayam siya ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal).

Ang pelikula ni Direk Tikoy na tinutukoy ni Direk Brillante ay big winner sa ginanap na 37th Metro Manila Film Festival Awards Night.

Labing-isang tropeyo mula sa MMFF ang napanalunan ng Asiong Salonga, kabilang na ang Best Picture at Best Director.

Pinag-usapan din ang Asiong Salonga dahil sa mga kontrobersiyang pumalibot dito, kung saan sangkot ang producers nitong Scenema Concepts, Inc. at Viva Entertainment Productions, Inc., ang lead actor nitong si Governor ER Ejercito, at ang direktor nitong si Tikoy.

Sa ngayon ay public knowledge na ang mga naging kontrobersiya hinggil sa award-winning film.

Nagkaroon ng alitan sa pagitan nina Direk Tikoy at ng kanyang producers, na "nakialam" sa pagtatapos ng pelikula, kasama na ang re-shooting, re-editing, scoring, at iba pa.

Kumampi naman si Governor ER sa kanyang producers.

Kinusulta pa raw nito ang ibang prodyuser, gaya nina Vic del Rosario ng Viva Films at Lily Monteverde ng Regal Entertainment, at sinabi raw ng mga ito na ang huling desisyon sa anumang pelikula ay nasa prodyuser.

Taliwas ang opinyon ni Direk Brillante tungkol dito: "Hindi tama yung ginawa ng producers.

"The ultimate insult to the filmmaker is yung pakialaman yung trabaho niya nang hindi sinasabi [sa direktor]; nang hindi kayo nagkakasundo, o hindi man lang nagpapaalam.

"So, sa akin, yun ang ultimate sin that any producer can do to a director."

Para rin kay Direk Brillante, nararapat na sundin ang petisyon ng publiko bilang respeto sa may likha ng pelikula.

Hinihingi ng petisyon na mapanood ng publiko ang sinasabing Director's Cut ng obra ni Direk Tikoy.
