📣 The late Marilou Diaz-Abaya will be named National Artist for Film!

📜 Lino Brocka on art, 1987:
"Cinema was used to deflect the attention of the people from injustices, violation, and oppression.
I, on the other hand, hold that cinema can be used to make people think, to make people remember."
All under the dumb pretense that “all Filipino movies are trash” when really, you just haven’t given them a chance. Shame on you. What an insult to your kababayan, and what an insult to yourself.
