Eugene Domingo Parodies History in iWant's "Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 3" Series

After satirizing the indie film industry and the mainstream rom-com movie phenomenon, the creative duo behind the critically acclaimed “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank” movies is back with another laugh-out-loud sequel that lampoons the making of a historical biopic, with Eugene Domingo reprising her lead role – a megalomaniacal and egotistical version of herself.

The latest in the popular trilogy – written by Chris Martinez and directed by Marlon Rivera – the seven-episode mockumentary series “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank: The Real Untold Story of Josephine Bracken” documents the step-by-step process in making a biopic. It starts streaming on iWant this July 17.

Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady Goes OnStage

If you have missed the run of Dalanghita Production's Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady or probably craving to have a second round of the unique musical, well there is indeed good news with the restaging of it now on a bigger venue at OnStage Greenbelt. Catch the powerful beings of Fuwerza Filipinas and Kayumangilas battle it out as well as the witty and dramatic life of Mely and her sister Viva. 


At first, I was quite skeptical about the change of venue, with its staging at PETA has the perfect balance of staging, lighting and music, moving it to a different venue would mean big changes to everything and might affect viewer experience. However, all of these were extinguished when I went to see the preview at OnStage for their first public performance. It did retain the same vibe and energy like when I first saw it. 

REEL DEAL: I Do Bidoo Bidoo REVIEW

The great music of the APO Hiking Society already is a legend in OPM which has been venerated by many artists and even made a tribute album with popular artists and bands making their own rendition of the songs. Now we sometimes ask ourselves, why not make it a musical? That is what critically-acclaimed writer-director Chris Martinez have weaved together the timeless songs of APO into one musical movie of the year, I DO BIDOO BIDOO Heto nAPO sila.

Giving a whole new light with the songs of many generations that still popular even up to today, the film brings together a powerhouse cast that are perfect for each role. It stars, Sam Concepcion  (Rock Polotan) and Tippy Dos Santos (in her first major movie role as Tracy Fuentebella) as the lovely couple who plans to get married and goes into the traditional pamamanhikan stage. Tracy's parents, the Fuentebellas are Gary Valenciano (Nic Fuentebella) and Zsazsa Padilla (Ellaine Fuentebella), while Rock's parents are Ogie Alcasid  Pol Polotan) and Eugene Domingo (Rosie Polotan) which gives a whole lot of riot and touching moments in the film.

REEL DEAL: I Do Bidoo Bidoo Presscon

Unitel Pictures and Studio 5 brings this year the most festive movie musical of the year with “I DO BI DOO BIDOO” featuring the hits of the APO Hiking Society, written and directed by hitmaker Chris Martinez. Starring a star studded cast  of Ogie Alcasid, Gary Valenciano, Eugene Domingo, Zsazsa Padilla, Sam Concepcion, Tippy Dos Santos, Neil Coleta, Kiray Celis, Gerald Pesigan, and Sweet Plantado.

With a great array of the hits of the Apo Hiking Society, integrated into a great love story with a great cast makes it a movie to watch out for. 

The movie centers on the 'pamamanhikan' in the life of the young bride and groom to be – an event that every Filipino family has to or will inevitably experience. A rich girl from the province, Tracy Fuentebella, and a poor boy from Manila, Rock Polotan, arranged a meeting of their two families – the Polotans and the Fuentebellas - before getting married, resulting in a disaster of “movie musical” proportions!

REEL DEAL: Kimmy Dora And The Temple Of Kiyeme SPOTLIGHT

The trailer of the sequel to the successful comedy movie Kimmy Dora has now been released! Kimmy and Dora (and Mikki) are back with hilarious antics and comedic scenes with Kimmy Dora And The Temple Of Kiyeme, by Star Cinema and Spring Films.

This brings the opposite-minded sisters to a scary quest involving a dark creature and secrets hidden in the Temple of Kiyeme. Also shows that they went abroad (most probably Korea) to pay respect to their ancestors. This also brings their leading men, Dingdong Dantes and Zanjoe Marudo.

The trailer is super funny and I am hoping the quality of comedy could match or exceed the first Kimmy Dora movie, for now enjoy the trailer!
