  • Addenda for Huwaran/Hulmahan Atbp. Johven Velasco
    Addenda for Huwaran/Hulmahan Atbp. Johven Velasco Editor’s note: The following articles were forwarded by Ed Instrella, manager of the two performers discussed by Johven Velasco. They were not found among Velasco’s paper or digital files, and arrived too late for the publication of Huwaran/Hulmahan Atbp. in 2009. The project coordinator, Ellen Ongkeko-Marfil, and I (as editor) were assured that these articles were some of Velasco’s favorites. We decided to keep them in reserve in case a reprint of the book becomes feasible. Past Velasco’s tenth death anniversary in 2017, that likelihood might be a long way off. So meanwhile here the pieces are. Since the articles on Cherry Pie Picache were atypically short, and since they seemed to make sense as a diptych, that is how they are presented here. (JD) Allan Paule: Touching Both Ends In Masahista, Allan Paule plays a gay romance novelist who is an occasional client in a massage parlor that fronts for male prostitution. Along with Coco Martin who plays the title role, Paule takes a lead role in Brillante Mendoza’s directorial debut, the entry that won the Golden Leopard for Best Film in Video at the recently concluded Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland. On the set of the movie, co-actor Jaclyn Jose kidded him: “O, Allan malayo nang tinakbo ng career mo. Dati ikaw ang nagsi-service, ngayon ikaw na ang binibigyan ng service,” chuckled Jane, who has remained one of Allan’s closest friends in the business. To this observation, Allan retorted: “Oo nga, pareho tayo.
