NO HOLDS BARRED |
Armida Siguion-Reyna |
Or perhaps just a little short of it, is what I’d call the response to the open letter I wrote President Benigno Aquino III, or P-Noy, as he prefers to be called, regarding the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board and the kind of person who should head it.
The piece has flown all over, as if it had wings of its own: Reprinted, retweeted, blogged, forwarded, e-mailed, reposted on Facebook, and all else that can be done on the Internet.
Carlos “Caloy” Conde, Manila-based writer for The New York Times since 2002, put it out on Asian Correspondent (http://asiancorrespondent.com/carlosconde/why-philippine-censorship-board-should-be disbanded) and on http://andtheysaidit.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/why-president-aquino-should-disband-mtrcb, with the additional commentary:
“The Philippine movie industry is experiencing another one of those ‘golden ages,’ this time propelled by the emergence of independent filmmakers who are making their mark not only locally but internationally. It seems to me that there’s no other way for Filipino filmmaking to go but up.
