Avenue Q Manila 2007 – There were reservations about investing in this Atlantis Productions play, but I knew the material, and had seen a Repertory Philippines summer production, so I persuaded my co-investors to take a chance.
Buoyed by the success of the first run, we proceeded to invest in the second run as well. |
GMA 7 Marimar TV Guesting
I didn’t think it would happen again so soon after the ABS-CBN Lastikman experience, but maybe as an advanced birthday gift I got another perfect day to be an actor on the GMA 7 Marimar set the day before my birthday — 20 December 2007. It was just wonderful because I got to do something I would never have done — make a scene, as in we’re talking about screaming and slapping stuff.

Sweeney Todd Film Philippine Premiere
I can state with absolute certainty that the Philippine Premiere of Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is on 16 January 2008. How do I know? I heard it from the marketing person in charge of the MTRCB screening, whose members were watching it when I dropped by the Warner Brothers Philippines offices in Ortigas Center on 19 December 2007.
I sincerely hope the MTRCB doesn’t cut too much out. There’s definitely blood and gore, but I’m sure director Tim Burton has only included what is cinematically necessary.
