August 30, 2008 | No Comments »
International title: MANILA IN THE FANGS OF DARKNESS
Original title: MAYNILA SA MGA PANGIL NG DILIM

This is not a film by KHAVN

Starring BEMBOL ROCO as Kontra Madiaga
& ELLA CORTEZ as Ligaya Paraiso

Running time: 72 minutes

SYNOPSIS
“Manila In The Fangs Of Darkness” follows Kontra Madiaga, a soul lost in an urban Hell trying to find his beloved Ligaya. Trapped not only by time and his deeds, his past is also framed by film and the scenes that he is doomed to revisit.

The VIENNALE is Austria’s most important international film event, as well as being one of the best-known festivals in the German-speaking area. Every October, it takes place in beautiful cinemas in Vienna’s historic centre, providing a festival with an international orientation and a distinctive urban flair. A high percentage of the more than 90,000 visitors is made up of a decidedly young audience.

DIALOGUE EXCERPT
“How did I get here. Ligaya? I followed you. I’d follow you anywhere. Even if I don’t understand why we have to go to these places? Are these the only places we end up in? You made me believe there’s a good world out there. But is this all the world we deserve? These lost, decrepit, hopeless, nowhere to go places. And who am I to think I could save you from them? How many times have we seen our story get told and retold? How many times have we passed through here? Nothing changes. I follow and I’m always too late. But I’d still follow you. I’d follow you anywhere. And maybe the next time the story gets retold, and it will, maybe the next time I follow you, I’d have done enough that I can change how it ends.” – KONTRA MADIAGA

Ely Buendia rushed to Makati Med..update =]

August 30, 2008 | No Comments »

The Eraserheads reunion concert on Saturday night at the Bonifacio Global City Open Field was cut short after lead singer Ely Buendia suffered “emotional and physical stress.”

Concert organizers and friends rushed Buendia to the Makati Medical Center, where he was reported to be in stable condition.

In a text message to GMANews.TV, Dok Sergio, bassist of Buendia’s new band Pupil, said: “Ely is fine. Don’t worry.”

The Erasherheads opened the concert at 8:15 p.m. with their hit song “Alapaap” and proceeded to play classics such as “Ligaya,” “Wag Mo Nang Itanong,” “Fruitcake,” among others.

More than 10 songs were played to eager fans at The Fort and around 9:30 p.m. the band took a 30-minute break. Forty minutes later, Buendia’s sister went up to the stage to break the sad news.

“We regret to inform you that we have to cut the concert short. My brother had to be rushed to hospital because of emotional and physical stress he is experiencing,” said Buendia’s sister Lali to concert-goers.

Fans said that in the middle of the reunion concert, Buendia stopped playing his guitar. They said the lead singer sat on the floor and bowed his head. Then the stage lights went out.

In 2007, Buendia suffered a heart attack while his new band Pupil was performing in Laguna.

The Eraserheads was a popular Pinoy rock band of the 1990s formed by Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro.
