The event was not, as the name might suggest, an armed uprising. It was, instead, a peaceful assembly of thousands of civilians who sought to protect the leaders of an aborted military coup from reprisal by***** the autocratic state. Many of those who gathered also sought to pressure Marcos into stepping down for stealing the presi- dential election held in December,Not for Reproduction not to mention or Distribution other atrocities he had commit- ted in the previous two decades. Lino Brocka had every reason to be optimistic about the country’s future after the dictatorship. The filmmaker campaigned for the newly installed leader, Cora- zon “Cory” Aquino, the widow of slain opposition leader Ninoy Aquino. Despite Brocka’s reluctance to serve in government, President Aquino appointed him to the commission tasked with drafting a new constitution. Unfortunately, the expe- rience left him disillusioned with realpolitik and the new government. He later recounted that his fellow delegates “really diluted” the policies relating to agrarian reform. He also spoke bitterly of colleagues “connected with multinationals” who backed provisions inimical to what he called “economic democracy.”1 Brocka quit the commission within four months. His most significant achievement was intro- ducing the phrase “freedom of expression” into the constitution’s bill of rights and thereby extending free speech protections to the arts.

  • At Last, Filipino Cinema in Portugal July 10, 2013/ Tiago Gutierrez Marques
    At Last, Filipino Cinema in Portugal July 10, 2013/ Tiago Gutierrez Marques A scene from Brillante Mendoza's "Captive" (Source: filmfilia.com) I didn't know anything about Filipino cinema until very recently, as it’s practically unheard of in Portugal where most people don't even know where the Philippines is on the world map. But there are signs of change. In 2010 a Portuguese cultural association called “Zero em Comportamento” (Zero Behavior), which is dedicated to the dissemination of movies that fall outside the mainstream commercial cinema, organized a four-day retrospective showing in Lisbon of movies directed by acclaimed Filipino director Brillante Mendoza. This also included a masterclass on independent filmmaking in the Philippines, for cinema students and professionals (http://zeroemcomportamento.wordpress.com/arquivo/bmendoza/). This rare opportunity got me very excited, and particularly my Portuguese father, who went to see almost all of the eight movies. At the end of each showing, the audience could directly ask Brillante Mendoza their questions. And just a few months ago, one of Mendoza's latest films, “Captive,” was released in commercial theaters in Lisbon and Porto (Portugal's second city) alongside the usual Hollywood blockbusters. I couldn't believe that we had reached a new milestone for Filipino cinema in Portugal. Director Brillante Mendoza won the Palme d'Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival for "Kinatay." (Source: Bauer Griffin) “Captive” is about the kidnapping of a group of tourists by the fearsome Abu Sayaf group from a resort in Honda Bay, in Palawan. They are taken to Mindanao.

    CFO PRESS RELEASE CFO, IACAT, FDCP Celebrates World Day Against Trafficking The Commission on Filipinos Overseas, Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (chaired by Department of Justice) and the Film Development Council of the Philippines celebrated World Day Against Trafficking in Persons by hosting a Cineforum featuring the film “Across the Crescent Moon” at Cinematheque Manila on July 31, 2018. The advocacy film stars Matteo Guidicelli, Dina Bonnevie, Christopher de Leon and Gabby Concepcion, and tackles sex trafficking and illegal migration that is endemic in the Southern Philippines. The event was graced by CFO Usec. Astravel Pimentel-Naik, FDCP Chairperson Liza Dino, DOJ Usec. Emmeline Aglipay-Villar, Police Chief Superintendent William S Macavinta, and film director and producer Baby Nebrida, and was participated by IACAT members and partners, Philippine National Police, academe and student organizations, international organizations and civil society groups. The Cineforum is one of the main activities lined up for the week-long celebration of the global event in the Philippines, which mainly aims to raise public awareness on human trafficking. In 2013, the United Nations General adopted a resolution designating July 30 as the World Day against Trafficking in Persons. This resolution declared that such a day was necessary to “raise awareness of the situation of victims of human trafficking and for the promotion and protection of their rights.” Solidarity Message of Usec.
