Ramon Zamora

Sino sa mga edad 30 pataas ang hindi lumaki sa mga pelikula ni Ramon Zamora? Naaalala ko pa noon, kapag Ramon Zamora ang palabas, lahat kaming magkakapatid 'glued' sa tv. Hindi namin kilala si Bruce Lee pero si Ramon Zamora, oo. Hindi pa uso noon ang mga mga harness para makapag-sirku ang action star, may Ramon Zamora na. Ngayong sumakabilang buhay na siya (he was 72 years old) , nakahihianayang at nakakasuya na walang masyadong balita o malaking pagpupugay man lang sa aktor na ito. Pero hindi bale, he will always be Ramon Zamora. Pilipinong aktor na magaling sa martial arts at mahusay magpatawa.

Friday Film Bar

Okay. here again after a long blogging absence. very busy nowadays... taking charge of Friday Film Bar (FFB)... with so many artsy fartsy people these days, we need art with meaning and depth.

so UP Film Institute came up with Friday Film Bar. last Friday, August 10, was the launch night. we had Pinikpikan's Sammy Asuncion play the Hegalong/Kuglong, with Budeths playing the Debakan drum.

the films viewed for free were Badjao (1957) by National Artist Lamberto Avellana and Gabon (2006) by Emman dela Cruz. The Avellana family, with Direk Jose M Avellana was there.The cool New Zealand Ambassador Pine as well as Mindanao State University Chancellor, who acted in Emman's film, were there too.

FFB will not be possible without Cordillera Coffee and New Zealand Embassy, truly. Fuji provided the food and UP Cinema student org was co-organizer.

Next Friday, August 17, will have the Cinemalaya 2006 film In the Red Corner and UP student film Sakdal Laya. Pinikpikan provides the music.

Flowing coffee (Hot or cold) and native iced tea pa rin. super sarap iced tea ng Cordillera Coffee, promise.
