“Manny” The Movie

Tweet

“Manny”

“By the end of the film, I want people to feel like they know him as just Manny. Not Congressman Pacquiao, not the People’s Champion, not the boxer with 10 world titles, but the guy who you could be on a first name basis with because you feel him. Be it a boxing legend, icon, politician, religious leader, or father, I ultimately want Pacquiao to be known as Manny, the man.” - - - Ryan Moore

After making waves at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin Texas, where it made its world premiere, Filipino fans finally had the chance to watch MANNY, a documentary about the Filipino boxing champion.

Manny is the untold story of Manny Pacquiao, one of the most celebrated boxers to ever enter the ring since Muhammad Ali. It chronicles the inspirational tale of how one penniless kid rose from poverty to become one of boxing’s most revered icons.

Relive some of his greatest matches, and rivalries as he moves up the ranks and takes his place in history as the only boxer to become an eight division champion. 

Sourced from over 1200 hours of video footage Pacquiao generously shared with Producer/Director Ryan Moore, the movie likewise provides an in-depth look into Pacquiao’s personal life not only as a boxer, superstar, Congressman, and man of faith, but above all, a man. 

Narrated by Liam Neeson and filled with insightful and sometimes humorous interviews with Hollywood celebrities such as Mark Wahlberg, Jimmy Kimmel, Jeremy Piven, etc. you don’t need to be a fan of boxing or even Pacquiao himself to enjoy this well-made narrative of triumph against unbelievable odds.

Catch Manny in its limited theatrical run until Tuesday in cinemas nationwide. 

Manny is distributed by Solar Entertainment Corporation.

FULL GALLOP: What Does It Take To Become a Fashion Icon? Divine!

Tweet

Bravo! What a delightful performance! Congratulations to Full Gallop team for the enchanting evening last Friday, March 14, 2014. It was quite an experience to remember as I was watching Full Gallop, Ms. Cherie Gil who draw us into her world. We the audience all felt like high-society guests sitting in Ms. Vreeland's living room.

Ms. Cherie Gil amazingly performed with tour-de-force one-woman show, the Mary Louise Wilson and Mark Hampton's "Full Gallop." Ms. Cherrie plays Diana Vreeland, who had just recently been unceremoniously fired as editor-in-chief of Vogue Magazine.

This two-hour play Vreeland regales us about her various interesting experiences with famous and rich people she hung around with. 

She displays her dances - tango, ballet or the kabuki while she plays us her favorite music on her record player. Her Intercom conversations with her laconic French maid Yvonne (featuring the voice of G Toengi) were hilarious. She even drops big names in the history of fashion, like Balenciaga, Coco Chanel and Helena Rubenstein.

Ms. Vreeland's living room is luxuriously classy set by Joey Mendoza.

Congratulations to director Bart Guingona, the crew and staff of MyOwn Mann Productions Inc. for this exhilarating play. 

Hurry and catch the last few remaining shows of "Full Gallop"! After its premiere last night, there are only four shows left, March 15, then 21, 22, all at 8 pm and one final show on March 23 at 4 pm.
