“Thy Womb (Sinapupunan)” is one of the 8 entries in Metro Manila Film Festival 2012.


Another award-winning masterpiece of the celebrated independent filmmaker Brillante Ma Mendoza , “Thy Womb (Sinapupunan)” is one of the 8 entries in Metro Manila Film Festival 2012.
This film stars internationally acclaimed actress Nora Aunor, who is making a comeback in the movie industry. She play as Shaleha Sarail, a Badjao midwife in Tawi-Tawi. She struggles to cope with the irony of her own infertility amidst the deprivation of her community. A saga of island life stuck between the devil of passion and the deep blue sea of tradition.

The province is a seaweed-producing spot in the southern most part of the Philippines down to the Malaysian and Indonesian archipelagos. Aging and still smarting from three miscarriages in the past, Shaleha agonizes over her failure to bear a child. Though an adoptive parent to her nephew, she still feels that her husband Bangas-An (Bembol Roco) desires to be a father. To fulfill her husband’s only wish and to be blessed by Allah--in her belief that having a child is a tangible proof of divine grace--Shaleha resolves to find a new partner for her husband. Night and day, she and her husband sail from their floating village to nearby island communities in search of a fertile woman. Providentially, Shaleha finds the girl as recommended by friends. But on the eve of her husband’s second marriage to Mersila (Lovi Poe), jealousy gnaws and consumes Shaleha.
Thy Womb (Tagalog: Sinapupunan) is a 2012 Filipino drama film starring Nora Aunor, Bembol Roco Mercedes Cabral, and Lovi Poe. Produced by Center Stage Productions and the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), the film is written by Henry Burgos and directed by 2009 Cannes Film Festival Best Director Brillante Mendoza.


Watch “Thy Womb (Sinapupunan)” to  be shown in theaters nationwide on December 25, 2012.

"Si Agimat, Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako" for 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival on December 25


Si Agimat, Si Enteng at Si Ako is the fantasy-adventure family comedy, action film starring  box-office giants of the local movie making industry Vic Sotto, Bong Revilla, Jr. and Judy Ann Santos.

The film is a crossover of Agimat and Enteng Kabisote film franchise. It is a joint production by five movie outfits, Octoarts Films, M-zet Productions, Imus Productions, APT Entertainment and GMA Films. This film is directed by Tony Y. Reyes (DGPI), story idea by Antonio Y. Reyes and Antonio P. Tuviera, and screenplay by Bibeth Orteza and Jermyn Aven Jacob.

It is one of the 8 official entries for 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival. It will be shown in theaters nationwide on December 25, 2012.


Enjoying Wonderful World is so glad and fortunately  meet and greet with Vic Sotto during a blogcon last December 17, 2012 at the Annabel's restaurant in Tomas Morato, Quezon City.  As he is called “Bossing”,  he told us that why he continues to make the Enteng Kabisote (EK) series because he wants to make every one happy at least even just for an hour or two this coming holidays. 
On this episode the EK team decided to add another character A.K.O. , the Angelina Kalikasan Orteza played by Judy Anne Santos. Bossing Vic explains that adding another character to broaden the story more and the adventure that they'll be going through. A.K.O is another encantada to protect the environment. 

The story begins with the establishment of the three different worlds apart, bound to meet for an adventure like no other – the humble family-oriented story of ENTENG KABISOTE (VIC SOTTO), a low-profile technician married to the beautiful Fairy Princess of Encantasia, FAYE (GWEN ZAMORA); the battles of the AGIMAT (RAMON “BONG” REVILLA, JR.), the brave village Warrior Hero of Amuleto; and the high tech-yuppie Kingdom of Diwatara ruled by Princess ANGELINA KALINISAN-ORTEZA (JUDY ANN SANTOS), also known in the human world as “AKO,” where she leads an environmental advocacy organization.
From the initial instalment “Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote” in 2010, the friendship and partnership of Enteng and Agimat continues. From an ‘eligible bachelor’ Hero, Agimat now strives to apply all his learning from Enteng and Faye as he himself tries to start his own family with wife, also an Amuleto warrior, SAMARA (SAM PINTO). The fun levels up as Aiza brings Angelina and her comic modern Fairy sidekicks Pink Kapre CHE (John Lapus), Winged Horse SOL (Yassi Pressman) and Computer-wiz Dwarf CHICHAY (Ryzza Mae Dizon), into the lives of the Kabisote’s and the Amuleto couple.

As the fun triples, so as the adventure and thrill as they are confronted with high-tech and primitive villains from somewhere totally out of their worlds: cannibal tribes of the Tokatoks and filthy alien monsters from other planet. Witness unparalleled battle stunts set in the Philippines’ never-before-seen destinations as Agimat, equipped with his one-of-a-kind swordsmanship, Enteng and his iconic comic fighting style and Princess Angelina, in her Mystical Bird alter ego wins the battle of good over evil.

Enteng movie as it has always been known, values family, marriage, friendship, responsibility, forgiveness, love and respect and the protection of the one and only Mother Earth. Si Agimat, Si Enteng Kabisote at Ako, is a rollercoaster ride of drama, action, magic, visual effects, production design, cinematography and an unlimited fun and laughter for everyone.

It was truly a fun night with Bossing Vic!




















Watch and enjoy the wonderful world of  Si Agimat, Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako! be shown in theaters nationwide on December 25, 2012.
