SYNOPSIS: The Bahag Kings set off on a journey looking for something that could be nothing. As they search, the film delivers a sample of the Philippine urban landscape taken with a skewed surreal perception, as visual text prods philosophical inquisition. All this leads to a final discovery, but of what, even we cannot be sure. (Carljoe Javier)

The Eraserheads will push through, but with some major changes. Raimund Marasigan over the weekend confirmed that another company has taken over the production of the concert after Philip Morris decided to pull out. The event will now be held at The Fort in Taguig City, instead of the CCP open grounds as earlier announced.
With the pullout of Philip Morris from the concert’s production, the registration procedures in the Red Nation website have been deemed void and that fans will now have to pay to attend the concert, and please note that itwill be open only to those aged 12 years old and above.
Earlier this month, the Department of Health and anti-tobacco group Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Alliance-Philippines warned Philip Morris against sponsoring the event.
Health Undersecretary Atty. Alexander Padilla [moi Constitution Law 2 professor] said Philip Morris will be violating Republic Act No. 9211 or the Tobacco Regulation Act of 2003which prohibits cigar companies from sponsoring sports, cultural, and artistic events of individual or team athletes, artists and performers.
“If we are able to show and prove that this concert is actually sponsored by you, by Philip Morris, then we will truly train our guns on you for clearly violating the law,” Padilla said in a press conference.
He said the tobacco company cannot argue that they did not violate the law since the contract has been signed before the prohibition on sponsorship of events took effect on July 1, 2008 as stated on Section 26 of RA 9211.
“The company already knew when the prohibition would take effect so if they will try to circumvent that by saying ‘we signed the contract before’ that will not be acceptable,” Padilla said.
The Health Department and tobacco control advocates also appealed to Eraserheads to reject the Philip Morris’ sponsorship of its much awaited reunion concert.
Padilla said the popular band, which disbanded in 2002, should disassociate themselves from a cigar company who will be sponsoring their concert.
“With their prestige, they should disassociate themselves to tobacco products which have no value or use. They should heed the law and bring the youth to other productive activities. Tobacco products should not be promoted,” Padilla said.
“Considered one of the most influential bands in the country, the Eraserheads has become a role model of sorts for our young. I hope they will rise up to the challenge, do more than play music, and help young Filipinos reach their potential,” said Dr. Maricar Limpin of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Alliance-Philippines. – GMANews.TV
Not to cause any hype or paranoia regarding our “kasambahays” but better safe than sorry..I mean really, its bad enough that their means, methods, forms [criminal law rev hangover] and motives are bad but to cause such physical harm upon a person that may cause paralysis or death is alarming and purely evil in nature.
