Edgardo M. Reyes Laro sa Baga (Playing with Fire)


Laro sa Baga

The said cinematography version has been a feature film, with
English subtitles,
during the 2005 New York Filipino Film Festival from June 10 to June 16, 2005 and was screened at the ImaginAsian Cinema, 239 East 59 Street (between 2nd & 3rd Avenues).
Laro sa Baga is an erotic romantic odyssey: an intense drama of a young couple who fell in love while exploring the politics of sexual awakening and social relations. A racy movie with full-frontal male nudity, the film examines how innocence can easily turn into deceit, and how tender passions can unexpectedly explode into violence. Several subplots in the novel were compromised for the screenplay such as the exclusion of characters Victoria Gonzaga and her daughter of unclarified origin, Teng. Other subplots were intertwined to cut the main plotline short

Lualhati Bautista -dekada 70



Lualhati Bautista

Dekada 70
by Lualhati Bautista was moved with the unity of the family at a time when our country is facing probably one of her worst crisis: Martial Law. When I read the novel, I imagined myself being their mother, a wife and a sister (that they never had except for their in laws). The mere thought of seeing myself suffering the same fate made my heart stop beating for a few seconds.
