NOEL FERRER
Better luck next time na naman tayo sa Oscars.
Baka kailangang pag-usapan ng komite na pumipili ng lahok natin kung paano tayo makakasama sa listahan sa susunod—at kung paano masusuportahan ang kampanya nito—at magwawagi.
Sana, sa mismong paggawa pa lang ng pelikula ay may suporta na ang iba’t ibang sektor natin, di ba?
At ano ang nangyari sa docu entries natin? Hopia at umaasa pa naman ako na makapasok ang ASWANG sa docu feature.
Sana, sa susunod... kapit-bisig na tayo rito!!!
