ROMNICK SARMENTA ON DRUG WAR

“Ako, naniniwala ako na may kabuluhan iyung ikinukuwento,” sabi ni Romnick noong Agosto 19 sa Cinema ‘76 Cafe, T. Morato Ave., Quezon City.

“May halaga yung ikinukuwento. Na dapat siyang mapanood, mapag-usapan, mapagbigyan ng talakayan.

“Kasi nga, ito yung nagiging problema. Kapag may mga malalaking bagay na nangyayari, ang ano natin dito is conspiracy of silence.

“Pero kaakibat siya ng indifference, e. Di ba? Parang… pag hindi nangyari sa akin, OK lang.

“Paano naman yun? Paano naman yung kapwa mo? So, maganda siyang ilatag. Dapat siyang mapanood. “Dapat siyang mapagdiskusyunan, at the very least.”

Masyado bang matapang ang Drug War: A Conspiracy on Silence? O sapat lang ang timpla nito?

“Sa pagkakaalam ko, well-researched yung materyal,” tugon ni Romnick.

“Yung tapang kasi, sinusukat natin yan sa paraang parang… ano ba yung iniisip nating binabangga ng istorya, di ba?

“E, kung totoo yung istorya, kailangan mo siyang ilatag kung ano talaga siya. Hindi siya yung sa matapang, e.

“Ano lang yung totoo — doon tayo.”

Nagkaroon ba siya ng hesitation na tanggapin ang proyektong ito?

“Wala, e. Wala. Kasi… puwede ko siyang tingnan na parang… sige, statement ito. Pero hindi ko siya personal statement, e,” saad ni Romnick.

“Hindi ko puwedeng angkinin, e. Pero hindi ko naman puwedeng sabihin na wala akong alam na ganitong nangyayari, di ba? Na wala akong nababalitaan.

“So, alam ko na may kernel of truth siya. E, kung totoong kuwento yung ikukuwento ko, bakit hindi?”

WHY WAS DRUG WAR: A CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE REMOVED FROM YOU TUBE?

Bakit nga tinanggal sa YouTube ang kuwentong tumatalakay sa ugly truth behind the war on drugs launched by the former admin?

Dahil hindi pa specified ng prod kung anong cause kaya nawala ang episodes, mas mabilis pa sa premiere ang haka-haka ng Troika: na-mass report ng mga na-trigger?

Na-flag ni Lolo YouTube for graphic / sensitive content?

O sadyang sobrang totoo kaya pati algorithm, na-offend?

Ang ironic lang, di ba, yung seryeng gustong pag-usapan sana ng lahat, sa YouTube pa na sobrang accessible daw biglang naging inaccessible.

GORGY RULA

Isa ako sa mga nanghihinayang na hindi nabigyan ng maayos na platform ang Drug War: A Conspiracy of Silence na series ng Rein Entertainment.

Okay naman sa YouTube, dahil sabi nga ni Direk Philip King, mas mabuting nasa YouTube na ito ng Rein Entertainment para walang expiration.

Hangga’t hindi napapag-initan, patuloy pa rin itong mapapanood sa kanilang YouTube channel.

Pero tila may kumikilos sa likod nito, kaya pinag-initan pa rin.

Ito ba ang dahilan kaya hindi ito nakapasok sa Netflix, at sa iba pang streaming service?

Ito rin ba ang dahilan kaya nahirapan din ang ibang projects na may ganito ring tema?

Natatakot ba sila na baka pag-initan ng mga susunod na uupong lider sa 2028?

Hindi talaga maiwasang mahaluan pa rin ng pulitika ang ganitong tema ng series o pelikula.

Mabuti na lang na kahit paano ay naipalabas pa rin at napanood ng taumbayan.

Sabi ng iba, hindi na raw napapanahon ang tema ng EJK.

Pero dapat pa ring mapanood na inilahad ang mga nangyayari, dahil marami pa rin ang nananahimik na lang.

Nakakapanlumo, sa totoo lang.

Kaya dapat panoorin pa rin ang ganitong kuwento, lalo na itong well-researched at maayos na pagkasulat at pagdirihe ni Direk Shugo Praico.
