00:00:13,234 --> 00:00:16,104
{\an8}When you say bold
{\an8}or sexy film, it means
3
00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:19,244
{\an8}this is adult material.
4
00:00:22,283 --> 00:00:23,702
{\an8}These are "pene" movies.
5
00:00:23,727 --> 00:00:27,382
{\an8}There are also "ST"
{\an8}and also Titillating films.
6
00:00:30,492 --> 00:00:34,251
{\an8}Usually, these so called sexy films
{\an8}involve a lot of sex scenes.
7
00:00:35,648 --> 00:00:38,136
There are love scenes
and boobs exposure.
8
00:00:38,949 --> 00:00:40,556
I wasn't wearing a bra.
9
00:00:40,581 --> 00:00:41,582
With wet look,
10
00:00:41,682 --> 00:00:43,164
boobs are visible.
11
00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:47,037
The audience are looking forward
to pumping scenes.
12
00:00:48,212 --> 00:00:50,157
It's usually daring and steamy.
13
00:00:50,182 --> 00:00:54,126
In other words, usually
our sexy films are fantasies.
14
00:01:02,833 --> 00:01:04,906
What is sexy?
15
00:01:07,634 --> 00:01:09,424
"Bomba in the '70s,
16
00:01:09,449 --> 00:01:10,860
bold in the '80s,
17
00:01:10,885 --> 00:01:15,079
and now '90s ST,
or TF Films as they call it."
18
00:01:15,335 --> 00:01:18,084
"In the past, actors can
only do wet looks."
19
00:01:18,109 --> 00:01:20,874
"Frontal nudity
is now often seen."
20
00:01:20,899 --> 00:01:22,815
"Let's undress these films"
21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,277
"and see if there is
any change in the industry."
22
00:01:26,305 --> 00:01:27,499
"This movie Ligaya-"
23
00:01:27,524 --> 00:01:30,044
"this will open people's eyes,
24
00:01:30,069 --> 00:01:33,648
so that now they can choose
the movies they will watch."
25
00:01:33,673 --> 00:01:37,141
"Just because someone's undressing,
it needs to be watched."
26
00:01:42,673 --> 00:01:47,516
When you say bold or sexy films,
this means these are materials for adults
27
00:01:47,541 --> 00:01:49,938
which usually involves sex.
28
00:01:51,976 --> 00:01:53,920
I'm Joey Reyes.
29
00:01:53,945 --> 00:01:56,522
I'm a writer,
30
00:01:56,547 --> 00:01:59,259
I'm a director,
and I'm a producer
31
00:01:59,284 --> 00:02:01,969
for various platforms.
32
00:02:05,774 --> 00:02:07,325
"Does he love you?"
33
00:02:08,056 --> 00:02:09,257
“I hope so.”
34
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,758
“Maybe.”
35
00:02:19,312 --> 00:02:21,514
Three elements: First, sex.
36
00:02:21,539 --> 00:02:23,805
There are sex scenes that are romantic
37
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:27,468
and there are scenes
that are just plain sex.
38
00:02:27,493 --> 00:02:31,784
Second, there are kinds
and degrees of body exposure
39
00:02:31,809 --> 00:02:33,626
especially for women.
40
00:02:33,734 --> 00:02:38,742
For instance, breast exposure
is considered as sexy.
41
00:02:38,767 --> 00:02:41,067
Nudity is considered as sexy.
42
00:02:41,225 --> 00:02:46,139
Third, the context
where sex is being done.
43
00:02:47,636 --> 00:02:49,104
"We're like ants."
44
00:02:49,614 --> 00:02:50,614
“Ants?”
45
00:02:51,069 --> 00:02:52,437
“That’s sweet.”
46
00:02:53,538 --> 00:02:55,124
They're usually fantasies.
47
00:02:55,149 --> 00:02:57,884
They are varying degrees of fantasies
48
00:02:57,909 --> 00:03:01,212
which tends to cater
to the imagination
49
00:03:01,212 --> 00:03:04,296
and to the desire
and the taste of the viewers.
50
00:03:04,321 --> 00:03:08,087
As I was growing up, ST films
reached the Philippines already.
51
00:03:08,112 --> 00:03:10,546
Right? What we call
the titillating films.
52
00:03:10,571 --> 00:03:11,992
Then, the bold films arrived.
53
00:03:12,017 --> 00:03:14,025
Then finally, I was the one making them.
54
00:03:23,977 --> 00:03:25,019
Beautiful!
55
00:03:25,044 --> 00:03:30,316
The ones that they were calling
'bomba,' 'pene,' 'titillating' and 'ST' —
56
00:03:30,341 --> 00:03:32,781
now, it's all rolled
into one: Vivamax.
57
00:03:34,781 --> 00:03:37,187
I’m Roman Perez, Jr.
58
00:03:37,682 --> 00:03:40,092
The director of the films:
59
00:03:40,117 --> 00:03:41,430
‘The Housemaid’,
60
00:03:41,455 --> 00:03:42,534
‘Taya’,
61
00:03:43,502 --> 00:03:45,003
‘Iskandalo’,
62
00:03:45,028 --> 00:03:46,063
‘Putahe’,
63
00:03:46,088 --> 00:03:48,031
‘Ang Babaeng Nawawala sa Sarili’,
64
00:03:48,573 --> 00:03:49,695
‘Pamasahe’,
65
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,906
and my Cinemalaya entry: ‘Kaluskos’.
66
00:03:53,931 --> 00:03:56,343
This is what they call
the "Vivamax wave".
67
00:03:56,368 --> 00:03:58,625
This is where this trend re-emerged.
It's a comeback.
68
00:03:58,650 --> 00:04:01,188
Bold films re-emerged. It is back.
69
00:04:05,053 --> 00:04:07,751
“Bold starlets are back in business.”
70
00:04:08,226 --> 00:04:10,195
“Who are those daring souls?”
71
00:04:10,405 --> 00:04:12,976
“What do they go through
to become popular?”
72
00:04:13,148 --> 00:04:15,078
“And who will eventually make it?”
73
00:04:15,298 --> 00:04:17,350
I'm AJ Raval.
74
00:04:17,889 --> 00:04:19,547
"It's like you don't know him."
75
00:04:20,124 --> 00:04:21,766
"You, I don't understand you."
76
00:04:22,827 --> 00:04:24,537
"Stop the car."
77
00:04:24,562 --> 00:04:29,289
I star in the film
"Taya" by Roman Perez.
78
00:04:29,314 --> 00:04:31,077
‘Hugas’, also by Roman Perez.
79
00:04:31,102 --> 00:04:34,430
And my launching:
‘Ang Pangarap Ko Maging Pornstar’.
80
00:04:39,828 --> 00:04:41,705
When I was starting,
81
00:04:41,730 --> 00:04:42,764
I was so pure.
82
00:04:42,789 --> 00:04:45,958
They were still teaching me
how to act and look sexy.
83
00:04:45,983 --> 00:04:49,625
I didn't have any idea about showbiz,
my innocence was still there.
84
00:04:49,701 --> 00:04:54,033
At first, you will really
feel the awkwardness.
85
00:04:54,058 --> 00:04:56,430
When we watch it
at the same time,
86
00:04:56,455 --> 00:04:58,135
I still cover my eyes.
87
00:04:58,422 --> 00:05:00,224
I skip that part.
88
00:05:00,273 --> 00:05:02,074
I told them to stop watching it.
89
00:05:02,099 --> 00:05:03,360
I was embarrassed.
90
00:05:03,601 --> 00:05:05,758
But now, I don't mind anymore.
91
00:05:05,783 --> 00:05:10,313
Doing sexy roles now
is no longer a big deal to me.
92
00:05:10,541 --> 00:05:11,946
"Make it faster."
93
00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:16,717
"My father said that
you already own me.”
94
00:05:18,341 --> 00:05:19,984
“Is that how you treat me?"
95
00:05:20,017 --> 00:05:21,319
I'm Angeli Khang.
96
00:05:21,344 --> 00:05:26,098
I star in ‘Eva’,
97
00:05:26,123 --> 00:05:27,124
‘Silip sa Apoy’,
98
00:05:27,149 --> 00:05:28,467
and ‘Mahjong Nights’.
99
00:05:28,492 --> 00:05:32,738
Being a sexy artist helped me
to become confident. Things like that.
100
00:05:32,763 --> 00:05:37,435
Others say that all we do
is take our clothes off.
101
00:05:37,460 --> 00:05:42,766
But they don't know that
doing sexy films is more difficult.
102
00:05:42,844 --> 00:05:46,516
Because when you're having
sex with someone,
103
00:05:47,008 --> 00:05:50,523
it shouldn't be seen by everyone.
104
00:05:50,548 --> 00:05:52,960
When you're being intimate with someone,
it's only the two of you.
105
00:05:52,984 --> 00:05:58,789
But for us, we just act it out
without any emotion.
106
00:05:58,814 --> 00:06:02,617
That is why it is also difficult to act—
to do sexy scenes.
107
00:06:05,162 --> 00:06:06,572
"It's because you missed me."
108
00:06:06,597 --> 00:06:08,133
"Of course not!”
109
00:06:09,033 --> 00:06:10,907
“We just needed a handyman.”
110
00:06:10,932 --> 00:06:13,715
“I wanted to help
and give you a job. That's all."
111
00:06:13,755 --> 00:06:19,335
When I signed with Viva, I already knew
what I was getting myself into.
112
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,180
So I was ready for it. Not just
with those intimate scenes.
113
00:06:24,524 --> 00:06:26,936
But with workout, diet.
114
00:06:29,999 --> 00:06:34,344
I am Angela Morena,
and I play Sonia Paraiso
115
00:06:34,369 --> 00:06:35,899
for the film "Panibugho."
116
00:06:39,071 --> 00:06:45,244
My name is Stephanie Raz, and my character
in this film is Ester Paraiso.
117
00:06:45,269 --> 00:06:47,837
To be honest, I am super conservative.
118
00:06:47,862 --> 00:06:51,039
However, once you are there,
you'll know how difficult it is
119
00:06:51,064 --> 00:06:55,488
to expose your whole body.
120
00:06:55,530 --> 00:06:57,467
In this scene, go out...
121
00:06:57,492 --> 00:06:58,796
The director asks us,
122
00:06:58,821 --> 00:07:00,861
given that this is the role
and this is what is expected of it.
123
00:07:00,886 --> 00:07:04,188
"So, what are your limitations?"
124
00:07:04,497 --> 00:07:06,332
That is the first question.
125
00:07:06,357 --> 00:07:10,102
The second question is, is it okay
for them to do this to you?
126
00:07:10,127 --> 00:07:13,281
Hold your boobs?
Touch your butt?
127
00:07:13,306 --> 00:07:15,492
Is it okay that
you have butt exposure?
128
00:07:15,616 --> 00:07:18,116
So, there is always consent.
129
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:21,711
You should smell good, arrive on set
just fresh from the shower.
130
00:07:21,736 --> 00:07:23,397
Of course, it is embarrassing
to your on-screen partner.
131
00:07:23,422 --> 00:07:25,078
They might say “you stink”
132
00:07:25,103 --> 00:07:27,063
or “you didn't even bother
brushing your teeth.”
133
00:07:27,088 --> 00:07:29,125
Alright, come here!
134
00:07:29,355 --> 00:07:30,508
On the set,
135
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:33,369
when we are shooting
the sexy scenes,
136
00:07:33,729 --> 00:07:39,383
there is always a robe prepared
and some mouthwash.
137
00:07:39,617 --> 00:07:41,467
There are less people.
138
00:07:41,492 --> 00:07:43,564
Only the cameraman
and the director are allowed.
139
00:07:43,589 --> 00:07:48,281
And of course, those who will
make you feel comfortable on set.
140
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:52,289
We are always asked by
our director if we are alright.
141
00:07:52,470 --> 00:07:55,342
They say this is what we need to do,
then after that, we are done.
142
00:07:55,367 --> 00:07:58,844
Or he reminds us that
we can always back-out.
143
00:07:59,188 --> 00:08:05,211
He always makes sure
that before doing the scene,
144
00:08:05,236 --> 00:08:08,163
we are confident with our bodies.
145
00:08:08,188 --> 00:08:12,447
Let's power through this quick.
146
00:08:12,472 --> 00:08:15,914
We do things quickly and with quality
so it is just one take.
147
00:08:20,605 --> 00:08:21,640
“Speed!”
148
00:08:21,665 --> 00:08:22,703
“Rolling!”
149
00:08:22,728 --> 00:08:23,728
“Action!”
150
00:08:23,938 --> 00:08:25,277
“You’re starting to annoy me!”
151
00:08:25,302 --> 00:08:27,891
"How am I not going to complain?"
152
00:08:27,916 --> 00:08:29,984
“I'm so bored here!"
153
00:08:30,138 --> 00:08:31,138
“Action!”
154
00:08:31,696 --> 00:08:34,089
"Movie director Celso Ad Castillo
155
00:08:34,114 --> 00:08:39,078
is regarded by industry insiders
as one of the best in local cinema."
156
00:08:39,216 --> 00:08:42,086
"Particularly, in the bold genre."
157
00:08:43,096 --> 00:08:49,405
"With independent companies
producing bold films, it only costs them"
158
00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:52,523
"not so much money to make."
159
00:08:52,548 --> 00:08:57,543
"And so, it’s easier for them small—
convenient to gamble on your talents."
160
00:08:57,568 --> 00:09:02,852
"Meaning getting new stars, new actresses,
and likewise for new directors."
161
00:09:06,977 --> 00:09:07,978
What are sexy movies?
162
00:09:08,003 --> 00:09:11,766
Fucking to death.
163
00:09:11,791 --> 00:09:15,288
You use fluorescent lights, right?
164
00:09:15,352 --> 00:09:19,298
Then, your actors look like
frogs in the biology lab.
165
00:09:19,359 --> 00:09:20,699
Then, there are sexy films.
166
00:09:20,724 --> 00:09:26,138
You know what? Nothing is more challenging
than shooting a sexy scene.
167
00:09:26,163 --> 00:09:29,694
Because it is the most unsexy thing to do.
168
00:09:31,010 --> 00:09:33,012
It is so unsexy,
169
00:09:33,079 --> 00:09:36,049
I feel that it is challenging
170
00:09:36,503 --> 00:09:41,975
because what you make the actors do on set,
in bed, or whatever, is choreography.
171
00:09:42,085 --> 00:09:45,055
You are counting positions. One.
172
00:09:45,149 --> 00:09:48,427
When you count, they move
and the camera has a different movement.
173
00:09:48,452 --> 00:09:50,821
Two, the actors move
and the camera moves as well.
174
00:09:51,021 --> 00:09:54,640
When you are writing it, you also
think of that choreography.
175
00:09:54,837 --> 00:09:56,272
How you are going to do it
176
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,297
and eventually you have to adjust it
when you get to that point. It’s difficult.
177
00:10:00,322 --> 00:10:02,898
You can go both ways.
Okay, you will make sexy films.
178
00:10:02,923 --> 00:10:05,616
It's time for sex.
179
00:10:05,780 --> 00:10:07,905
Or you can do something
that is meaningful.
180
00:10:07,930 --> 00:10:11,083
For me, it becomes an exercise
of my film language.
181
00:10:11,123 --> 00:10:12,391
"You're a virgin?"
182
00:10:13,979 --> 00:10:15,387
You work for it.
183
00:10:15,412 --> 00:10:17,823
It is not that easy.
184
00:10:17,980 --> 00:10:19,382
There is script analysis,
185
00:10:20,317 --> 00:10:21,661
There is an acting coach
for other projects.
186
00:10:21,685 --> 00:10:25,101
People work hard for it.
187
00:10:26,421 --> 00:10:27,675
It is considered as art.
188
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:29,001
It is a product of art.
189
00:10:29,026 --> 00:10:33,597
I don't need to show genitals
to show that it is art.
190
00:10:33,622 --> 00:10:37,273
Whatever the story needs,
that's the only thing I'll do.
191
00:10:37,943 --> 00:10:40,794
They ask, "How does one write a sexy film?"
192
00:10:40,819 --> 00:10:44,781
First, you don't do it just to
appease your sexual appetite.
193
00:10:44,806 --> 00:10:48,110
When you write, you write something
that makes people feel horny.
194
00:10:48,134 --> 00:10:50,398
It has to be organic to the material.
195
00:10:50,515 --> 00:10:52,884
If it is not organic
to the material,
196
00:10:52,917 --> 00:10:56,262
if it is sex for sex’s sake,
then we are doing porn.
197
00:10:56,287 --> 00:10:59,865
It's weird if you one's ringing the bell.
"Hello? Hi! How are you?"
198
00:10:59,890 --> 00:11:01,292
Then in the succeeding scene,
they are already having sex.
199
00:11:01,317 --> 00:11:04,491
That's not a narrative.
200
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:16,083
I was already told that erotica
is only in the minds of people.
201
00:11:16,340 --> 00:11:22,622
If they see everything, they won't care.
They won't feel aroused anymore.
202
00:11:22,647 --> 00:11:24,714
They already watched that in porn sites.
203
00:11:25,015 --> 00:11:27,985
Why would they bother to watch this?
204
00:11:28,010 --> 00:11:30,716
It's not like that here.
Erotica plays with our heads.
205
00:11:31,340 --> 00:11:33,842
Erotica plays with our heads,
not in the visuals we see.
206
00:11:34,233 --> 00:11:39,046
The audience now is different.
Gen Z, Gen X,
207
00:11:39,071 --> 00:11:40,873
and the millennials are more liberal.
208
00:11:40,957 --> 00:11:46,826
Every decade, society evolves.
The acceptance of the public also moves.
209
00:11:46,851 --> 00:11:52,667
There was a wave,
especially during the '70s.
210
00:11:57,051 --> 00:11:59,934
Different decades, different treatment
to the content.
211
00:12:26,744 --> 00:12:32,324
"These movies are slowly
changing in terms of storylines."
212
00:12:32,412 --> 00:12:35,382
"The plot is now well-thought of,"
213
00:12:35,419 --> 00:12:40,566
"actors don't just undress
if it's not necessary for the scene."
214
00:12:40,591 --> 00:12:42,067
When it’s movies,
it’s movies.
215
00:12:42,092 --> 00:12:43,369
You watch it. You enjoy it.
216
00:12:43,394 --> 00:12:45,349
It’s a mature story.
Of course, there’s nudity,
217
00:12:45,374 --> 00:12:49,497
Sure, but it tells of a story.
218
00:12:49,533 --> 00:12:52,503
If it has no story
then it's not a movie.
219
00:12:52,528 --> 00:12:55,372
"Why? What do you know about Boots?"
220
00:12:55,639 --> 00:12:59,513
"Director Matti has a different approach
to making movies,"
221
00:12:59,743 --> 00:13:03,395
"although the theme is bold,
the story is good."
222
00:13:05,582 --> 00:13:10,763
Bomba films started in
the late 1960s until 1972.
223
00:13:11,063 --> 00:13:14,574
We had art films coming
from Europe and even in the U.S.
224
00:13:14,599 --> 00:13:17,918
Basically, exploring the topics of sex,
225
00:13:17,943 --> 00:13:22,841
promiscuity, and those kinds
of taboo topics, ‘no?
226
00:13:22,866 --> 00:13:27,091
They were called Bomba films
because there are surprises.
227
00:13:38,422 --> 00:13:42,435
Because it was during the 1970 when
the first Bomba movie was launched.
228
00:13:42,460 --> 00:13:43,862
The one by Ruben Aballos,
229
00:13:43,887 --> 00:13:52,166
“Uhaw” of Merly Fernandez,
Tito Galla and Lito Legaspi.
230
00:13:52,191 --> 00:13:55,384
Wet look film was introduced in 1974.
231
00:13:56,633 --> 00:14:03,786
There's a white camison that girls wear
that is situated in a rural setting,
232
00:14:03,811 --> 00:14:05,369
like doing laundry in the river,
233
00:14:05,582 --> 00:14:12,626
or taking a bath in the outhouse
type of house in the province.
234
00:14:12,651 --> 00:14:15,542
It means Filipina beauties—
235
00:14:15,567 --> 00:14:21,317
Daria Ramirez is there,
Gloria Diaz, the Ms. Universe,
236
00:14:21,342 --> 00:14:23,471
and the likes of Vivian Velez.
237
00:14:23,759 --> 00:14:28,593
By 1976, the youngster became more daring.
238
00:14:33,726 --> 00:14:40,431
Rio Locsin, Gina Alajar,
the late Claudia Zobel, Lorna Tolentino.
239
00:14:40,553 --> 00:14:45,181
But the difference, they do
sexy roles but they are actresses.
240
00:14:45,206 --> 00:14:47,580
"Because facial expression is important,"
241
00:14:47,605 --> 00:14:50,759
"when you need to moan,"
242
00:14:51,063 --> 00:14:54,867
"you accompany that with body language."
243
00:14:54,892 --> 00:14:55,922
Alma Moreno.
244
00:14:55,947 --> 00:14:57,937
I mean Alma Moreno was one of the most
245
00:14:57,962 --> 00:15:00,764
sensual and beautiful
actresses of her time,
246
00:15:00,789 --> 00:15:01,672
when Regal was really at its height.
247
00:15:01,697 --> 00:15:04,543
Those who wear the
magic camison, right?
248
00:15:04,568 --> 00:15:08,228
That's why the magic camison
became a trend, okay?
249
00:15:08,847 --> 00:15:12,584
“I was wearing white, of course,
my boob scene that day was real.”
250
00:15:12,609 --> 00:15:15,154
“Right? The nipples are visible.”
251
00:15:15,179 --> 00:15:17,626
When I got soaked,
when I was taking a bath,
252
00:15:17,651 --> 00:15:19,658
I was wearing camison.
I wasn't wearing a bra.
253
00:15:19,683 --> 00:15:22,653
That's it. That’s the boldest already.
254
00:15:22,678 --> 00:15:25,509
My next bold scene, when I was soaked.
255
00:15:25,798 --> 00:15:29,501
Your boobs are exposed— like, that’s it.
256
00:15:29,526 --> 00:15:30,893
"I am very sexy.
257
00:15:30,918 --> 00:15:34,875
I have an innocent-looking face.
That's how it is— Right?"
258
00:15:34,954 --> 00:15:37,523
People went crazy over it!
I remembered the soft drinks beauties.
259
00:15:37,548 --> 00:15:40,470
Sarsi Emmanuel, Pepsi Paloma...
260
00:15:40,616 --> 00:15:45,430
Eventually, you had
The Regal Babies who did sexy also.
261
00:15:53,114 --> 00:15:54,448
During the 1986,
262
00:15:54,473 --> 00:15:55,893
that's the emergence
263
00:15:55,918 --> 00:15:58,744
of the so-called ST films
264
00:15:58,812 --> 00:16:00,114
or sex trip films.
265
00:16:00,139 --> 00:16:03,142
The actresses here are a little classy,
266
00:16:03,167 --> 00:16:04,328
college girls.
267
00:16:04,328 --> 00:16:07,097
Like Gretchen Barretto,
Alma Concepcion...
268
00:16:07,122 --> 00:16:08,962
"Not just heat,"
269
00:16:09,568 --> 00:16:11,564
"but blazing heat.”
270
00:16:19,168 --> 00:16:20,305
“TT” films, or
271
00:16:20,330 --> 00:16:23,366
titillating films
allowed men and women
272
00:16:23,391 --> 00:16:25,267
to show private parts.
273
00:16:29,117 --> 00:16:33,376
"Lead star Rosanna Roces is again
in the midst of this controversy."
274
00:16:33,530 --> 00:16:36,773
"Her past films have
been cut and even retitled"
275
00:16:36,900 --> 00:16:40,148
"in order to conform
with the Board of Censors."
276
00:16:40,173 --> 00:16:45,094
"The difference is, Ligaya is
Rosanna’s first dramatic role"
277
00:16:45,119 --> 00:16:48,470
"and one of the few films
she is truly proud of."
278
00:16:48,515 --> 00:16:52,428
"Since this is my first quality film,
I’m excited."
279
00:16:52,485 --> 00:16:56,922
Rosanna Roces lorded it over the TT films.
280
00:16:56,947 --> 00:16:58,455
"There was a time
when during my launch,"
281
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,508
"no one was watching Tagalog film."
282
00:17:01,533 --> 00:17:04,454
"Because right after the scam, people
didn't want to watch in the cinemas.”
283
00:17:04,479 --> 00:17:05,556
"They were mad."
284
00:17:05,864 --> 00:17:08,066
"There's no Nanette Medved,
no Anjanette Abayari."
285
00:17:08,091 --> 00:17:12,404
“No Ruffa, no sexy stars,
no Gretchen, no Kristina.”
286
00:17:12,429 --> 00:17:16,846
"Then I entered the scene, naked.
Then everyone's attention was on me."
287
00:17:17,620 --> 00:17:18,888
"They went into chaos."
288
00:17:20,398 --> 00:17:23,572
“Damn you. You’re still alive.”
289
00:17:23,667 --> 00:17:25,250
"You are shameless!
You already had too much.
290
00:17:25,275 --> 00:17:27,150
I haven't scored yet,
you even preceded me."
291
00:17:35,259 --> 00:17:37,562
Now when some learned about going naked
for the sake of going naked;
292
00:17:37,587 --> 00:17:40,323
if the value of your talent
is in the size of your boobs, okay?
293
00:17:40,348 --> 00:17:41,901
When the trend vanished,
294
00:17:41,926 --> 00:17:44,002
they also vanished, right?
295
00:17:44,027 --> 00:17:46,438
Maybe I was only given the chance,
296
00:17:46,463 --> 00:17:49,066
like a serious film,
297
00:17:49,091 --> 00:17:50,659
there's drama.
298
00:17:51,243 --> 00:17:53,478
I had a contract
with Regal films before.
299
00:17:53,503 --> 00:17:55,023
Perhaps I was given—
300
00:17:55,048 --> 00:18:00,152
they noticed the—
that I know how to act!
301
00:18:00,177 --> 00:18:04,259
Regarding comedy, I was given
a chance to do comedy.
302
00:18:04,610 --> 00:18:06,810
It was during the time of Dolphy.
303
00:18:09,397 --> 00:18:11,354
Those with talent will last.
304
00:18:11,379 --> 00:18:16,829
Those who do not have will be disposable,
305
00:18:17,706 --> 00:18:21,696
like cups of noodles—
of instant noodles.
306
00:18:22,065 --> 00:18:23,087
They will be a good—
307
00:18:23,112 --> 00:18:25,310
they’ll only be as good
as three to four films.
308
00:18:25,493 --> 00:18:26,987
But if they are talented,
309
00:18:27,012 --> 00:18:28,213
they will last.
310
00:18:28,238 --> 00:18:32,329
“Armed with beauty, guts,
and occasionally, acting talent.”
311
00:18:32,547 --> 00:18:36,717
“These aspiring actresses are willing
to go through a gauntlet of sex, intrigue,”
312
00:18:36,742 --> 00:18:40,649
“and forgettable movie roles to
earn their 15 seconds of fame.”
313
00:18:41,321 --> 00:18:43,546
“Who are those daring souls?”
314
00:18:43,571 --> 00:18:46,182
“What do they go through
to become popular?”
315
00:18:46,278 --> 00:18:48,282
“And who will eventually make it?”
316
00:18:49,250 --> 00:18:54,663
"Direk Lore Reyes and Peque
said its for a bold movie."
317
00:18:55,307 --> 00:19:00,816
"I did it, I thought about it carefully,
I read the script carefully,"
318
00:19:00,841 --> 00:19:04,204
"then I saw that the story was good."
319
00:19:05,415 --> 00:19:07,921
"On these giant billboards,
320
00:19:07,946 --> 00:19:12,243
new movies are flagged that will
undoubtedly be a hit at the box office"
321
00:19:12,287 --> 00:19:16,358
"and new artists that are sure
to please the public."
322
00:19:19,336 --> 00:19:20,501
I am Maui Taylor.
323
00:19:20,526 --> 00:19:23,001
I am Jay Manalo.
324
00:19:23,026 --> 00:19:26,138
My full name is Katrina Santos.
325
00:19:26,163 --> 00:19:27,929
Hi, my name is Sean De Guzman.
326
00:19:27,954 --> 00:19:29,866
I am AJ Raval.
327
00:19:29,891 --> 00:19:31,670
Hi everyone, I’m Angeli Khang.
328
00:19:31,695 --> 00:19:36,251
My real name is
Vanessa Moreno Lacsamana.
329
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,350
"Don't go up and down like that,”
330
00:19:38,406 --> 00:19:39,874
“just shake the breast.”
331
00:19:39,899 --> 00:19:40,926
"That's fine."
332
00:19:40,951 --> 00:19:43,920
My movie boomed when I starred in
333
00:19:44,172 --> 00:19:45,373
“Ligaw na Bulaklak.”
334
00:19:45,398 --> 00:19:46,864
“Eva Fonda 16.”
335
00:19:46,889 --> 00:19:48,257
“Walang Karanasan.”
336
00:19:48,290 --> 00:19:49,296
“Nympha.”
337
00:19:49,321 --> 00:19:50,437
“Bomba Star.”
338
00:19:50,462 --> 00:19:52,697
I started Magic Kamison.
339
00:19:52,722 --> 00:19:55,085
I admit I popularized tangga.
That was me.
340
00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:56,468
"You're all corny."
341
00:19:56,493 --> 00:20:03,069
"All she has to do is stick out
her breasts, and stick out her ass."
342
00:20:03,094 --> 00:20:05,702
"That's it. While the horse is running."
343
00:20:05,727 --> 00:20:08,298
I was nicknamed, “The Innocent Face”.
344
00:20:08,872 --> 00:20:11,133
I was the actress
with an innocent face.
345
00:20:11,308 --> 00:20:16,221
It's like what they are currently
looking for is an innocent face like mine.
346
00:20:16,246 --> 00:20:19,983
Whatever role you play,
you still look innocent
347
00:20:20,453 --> 00:20:22,547
"What are we really?
What are you to me?"
348
00:20:22,853 --> 00:20:25,274
"Are you my boyfriend?
Do we have a mutual understanding?”
349
00:20:25,396 --> 00:20:26,405
“What?”
350
00:20:26,430 --> 00:20:28,391
"Yes, the one in the middle."
351
00:20:29,759 --> 00:20:34,398
I was known as the college girl,
baby face that suddenly turned sexy.
352
00:20:34,423 --> 00:20:37,901
My first tagline was
"The Original Fantasy of Town".
353
00:20:37,926 --> 00:20:40,011
"He went missing."
354
00:20:40,036 --> 00:20:42,329
And then Hot Babes was formed
355
00:20:42,354 --> 00:20:45,149
so it became
"The Original Hot Babe of Town".
356
00:20:45,918 --> 00:20:47,494
When it was launched, I made it.
357
00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:50,930
Then it became "Sex Goddess".
358
00:20:51,048 --> 00:20:54,143
"I told you because it hurts
at the beginning."
359
00:20:54,168 --> 00:20:57,391
"But after a while it's like
you're in heaven."
360
00:21:00,798 --> 00:21:04,140
They gave me Materyales Fuertes.
361
00:21:04,165 --> 00:21:08,359
Materyales Fuertes, meaning,
everything was original.
362
00:21:08,430 --> 00:21:10,860
Nothing was made,
nothing was fake.
363
00:21:13,602 --> 00:21:15,212
"Why did you send me here?"
364
00:21:20,667 --> 00:21:22,018
"Are you toying with me?"
365
00:21:22,043 --> 00:21:27,115
My close friends when
they introduce me, they will say—
366
00:21:27,140 --> 00:21:29,657
"Hey, introduce me as Jay Manalo,
not Totoy Mola."
367
00:21:29,682 --> 00:21:30,860
“Who's Totoy Mola?”
368
00:21:31,597 --> 00:21:33,766
Actually, my dream is
to really become a player.
369
00:21:34,454 --> 00:21:35,924
To become a basketball player.
370
00:21:35,949 --> 00:21:38,919
But I got into an accident,
my knee got injured.
371
00:21:38,944 --> 00:21:40,355
I'll just be here.
372
00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:41,540
Then, I'll just be here.
373
00:21:42,824 --> 00:21:45,853
"My father told me that you own me."
374
00:21:45,878 --> 00:21:50,483
I started as a cosplayer
when I came back from the U.S.
375
00:21:50,621 --> 00:21:53,985
My manager discovered me in Facebook.
376
00:21:58,386 --> 00:22:02,290
I did not expect that
my first movie would be daring.
377
00:22:02,315 --> 00:22:05,993
I was surprised,
my gosh, daring already.
378
00:22:06,018 --> 00:22:11,141
My mom is a pastor. Then,
I just turned 19 that time.
379
00:22:14,180 --> 00:22:15,874
I was only 15 years old.
380
00:22:15,899 --> 00:22:20,852
I did a lot of youth-oriented shows
but I played a role of a villain.
381
00:22:21,157 --> 00:22:26,099
That time I felt that there was
no progress with my career.
382
00:22:26,124 --> 00:22:30,594
It's like I was always
only one of the back ups.
383
00:22:33,441 --> 00:22:36,735
“We offer you to be a little bit sexy,”
384
00:22:36,901 --> 00:22:39,655
“you'll jump into mature roles”
385
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,844
because that time,
that's how they call sexy.
386
00:22:43,869 --> 00:22:44,893
“Mature roles.”
387
00:22:44,918 --> 00:22:48,030
Not "go, get naked".
388
00:22:48,055 --> 00:22:51,165
Right there and then, I said yes.
I said, "yeah, why not?"
389
00:22:51,584 --> 00:22:52,584
"It's okay.”
390
00:22:52,942 --> 00:22:53,942
“Come in."
391
00:22:57,597 --> 00:23:00,208
I just started during the pandemic.
392
00:23:00,233 --> 00:23:05,739
At first, I didn't 100 percent
do it because I want to.
393
00:23:05,764 --> 00:23:08,308
I want to— I want to act.
394
00:23:08,341 --> 00:23:10,226
I want to be popular.
395
00:23:10,251 --> 00:23:11,946
I only did it for the money.
396
00:23:11,971 --> 00:23:14,555
"If you don't like me,
then I'll just go.”
397
00:23:15,133 --> 00:23:16,468
“Many people drool over me."
398
00:23:16,493 --> 00:23:19,748
My dream when I was a kid
was to go to PMA.
399
00:23:19,773 --> 00:23:21,241
I wanted to be a soldier.
400
00:23:21,266 --> 00:23:23,219
I wanted to serve.
401
00:23:23,244 --> 00:23:27,719
Actually, I didn't expect
that I'll be a sexy actress.
402
00:23:27,744 --> 00:23:29,880
At first, I just wanted to act,
403
00:23:29,905 --> 00:23:31,805
to be seen in the camera.
404
00:23:31,904 --> 00:23:37,822
But with Viva, maybe they saw
my potential as a sexy star.
405
00:23:38,205 --> 00:23:39,205
"You know,”
406
00:23:39,673 --> 00:23:42,050
“I don't like what you're thinking."
407
00:23:42,075 --> 00:23:44,994
"This will benefit everyone."
408
00:23:45,019 --> 00:23:47,221
"Just promise me, you'll go with the flow."
409
00:23:47,247 --> 00:23:49,891
I started with AngTV,
I was nine years old.
410
00:23:49,916 --> 00:23:53,330
And when I was 15 years old, that's it.
411
00:23:54,287 --> 00:24:00,068
Viva contacted me
if I want to do villain roles.
412
00:24:00,093 --> 00:24:03,663
When I was 19, they immediately called me.
"Are you ready?"
413
00:24:03,688 --> 00:24:09,111
That was 2001.
I was launched as sexy.
414
00:24:09,136 --> 00:24:11,012
"So we should take advantage of it."
415
00:24:11,037 --> 00:24:13,673
"You know you can
get laid now, it's your chance."
416
00:24:13,698 --> 00:24:15,322
"He looks big, right?"
417
00:24:15,379 --> 00:24:17,719
Mentally, I was really prepared for it.
418
00:24:17,744 --> 00:24:18,830
I think this is it.
419
00:24:18,855 --> 00:24:24,939
It's like I can finally reach my
dreams to be a famous actress.
420
00:24:24,964 --> 00:24:27,028
If this is the way, why not?
421
00:24:29,447 --> 00:24:32,234
They tried me in every genre.
422
00:24:32,259 --> 00:24:36,171
Maybe they saw that I wasn't picky
that's why they put me there.
423
00:24:36,196 --> 00:24:40,729
There's sexy comedy, there's sexy action.
So it's not just sexy.
424
00:24:40,964 --> 00:24:42,511
"You're so stupid."
425
00:24:42,536 --> 00:24:44,197
“You can’t even do a simple job?”
426
00:24:45,925 --> 00:24:46,925
“Hmm?”
427
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,579
What's challenging for me
when I took on sexy roles,
428
00:24:52,604 --> 00:24:53,822
I was insecure.
429
00:24:53,847 --> 00:24:56,166
I have big insecurities
with my body.
430
00:24:57,361 --> 00:25:02,580
It's easier to do a love scene
with a male actor.
431
00:25:02,729 --> 00:25:06,744
Because for us, there's no malice.
432
00:25:06,789 --> 00:25:10,534
Because if with girls,
there's several restrictions.
433
00:25:15,502 --> 00:25:17,766
"In the delicate part of the film,"
434
00:25:17,791 --> 00:25:20,789
"artists need more restraint"
435
00:25:20,814 --> 00:25:25,111
"so that they don't get carried away
in the active scene."
436
00:25:25,612 --> 00:25:28,582
"Because that's not allowed.
It's not allowed in my scene."
437
00:25:28,607 --> 00:25:30,604
"What if that's a natural
feeling for you?
438
00:25:30,783 --> 00:25:32,894
How will you control that?"
439
00:25:32,919 --> 00:25:35,430
"Maybe I will think of happy thoughts”
440
00:25:35,455 --> 00:25:38,221
“so that I don't end up anywhere."
441
00:25:38,307 --> 00:25:40,297
I was never on top
during my love scenes.
442
00:25:40,322 --> 00:25:41,494
I'm on a cross position.
443
00:25:41,519 --> 00:25:44,978
But when you look at it in
the camera, you are on top.
444
00:25:45,002 --> 00:25:49,619
There are times when you can't avoid
getting carried away by your feelings.
445
00:25:55,208 --> 00:26:02,010
I had never, never ever been aroused.
446
00:26:02,035 --> 00:26:03,602
For me. I'm not sure for others.
447
00:26:03,627 --> 00:26:05,422
Even when I was young,
that never happened.
448
00:26:05,503 --> 00:26:11,086
It's hard to do a love scene
with people watching.
449
00:26:11,111 --> 00:26:13,141
Then you'll get turned on?
450
00:26:13,820 --> 00:26:14,865
That will never happen.
451
00:26:14,890 --> 00:26:16,658
You know I'm very lucky.
452
00:26:16,683 --> 00:26:19,367
With my leading men,
no one took advantage.
453
00:26:20,408 --> 00:26:22,250
During kissing scenes, even groping.
454
00:26:22,275 --> 00:26:24,279
No one was allowed to watch.
455
00:26:24,304 --> 00:26:26,727
Everyone will be shocked.
456
00:26:26,985 --> 00:26:30,455
My mom was always
on the set. You know?
457
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:35,977
For example, we're shooting a love scene,
458
00:26:36,002 --> 00:26:37,852
only ten people can enter.
459
00:26:38,066 --> 00:26:42,367
The monitor is inside the room.
There's no stillman.
460
00:26:44,041 --> 00:26:47,168
Only the director, my mommy,
or AD. Anyone.
461
00:26:47,193 --> 00:26:51,625
As long as there's only ten people inside.
More than ten are not allowed.
462
00:26:52,242 --> 00:26:57,563
Imagine in one angle,
you won't do it right,
463
00:26:57,588 --> 00:26:58,856
how many takes will that take?
464
00:26:59,031 --> 00:27:00,607
Let's just do it
for it to be over.
465
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,509
So that it won't take long.
466
00:27:02,534 --> 00:27:03,836
It won't be repetitive.
467
00:27:03,861 --> 00:27:08,456
Our sexy before
and the sexy now is different.
468
00:27:08,481 --> 00:27:12,577
My sexy is very simple.
Wet look, my side is exposed,
469
00:27:12,602 --> 00:27:16,547
love scene, wearing two piece,
cleavage. That's already sexy.
470
00:27:24,347 --> 00:27:27,317
"What matters is you love me.”
471
00:27:29,156 --> 00:27:30,436
“I love you too.”
472
00:27:30,461 --> 00:27:33,430
When they say I need to do more,
473
00:27:33,591 --> 00:27:39,367
there's still something I need to show,
it wasn't like that during our time.
474
00:27:39,788 --> 00:27:44,825
The only requirement during
our time was breast exposure only.
475
00:27:44,850 --> 00:27:50,235
I somehow feel lucky that
I started being sexy earlier.
476
00:27:50,260 --> 00:27:54,627
It turns out I'm lucky.
I still left something for myself.
477
00:27:54,906 --> 00:28:00,422
"In the world of bold films,
the spark of the artists are fading."
478
00:28:00,521 --> 00:28:04,984
"There will always be a newcomer
who is fresher than them."
479
00:28:07,442 --> 00:28:11,758
The films now are
getting bolder and bolder.
480
00:28:16,850 --> 00:28:18,547
It's really a different kind.
481
00:28:18,752 --> 00:28:21,863
It's really an advantage
if you're daring,
482
00:28:21,888 --> 00:28:26,055
the way I see it,
you'll get more attention.
483
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:28,071
"Catch it with your mouth."
484
00:28:32,999 --> 00:28:35,969
We're already in the digital,
485
00:28:35,994 --> 00:28:37,321
unlike before in Cinema,
486
00:28:37,547 --> 00:28:41,908
there's PG and then
there's censored parts, right?
487
00:28:41,933 --> 00:28:47,399
So it doesn't matter if you make
it very daring. It will still be cut.
488
00:28:47,424 --> 00:28:50,393
There's a huge difference
from before to now.
489
00:28:50,418 --> 00:28:52,367
Because with us before
490
00:28:52,756 --> 00:28:56,631
Maybe you would only see the
breast exposure twice and that's it.
491
00:28:56,656 --> 00:29:01,561
Now, all throughout the movie,
“wow it's all naked, naked, naked.”
492
00:29:01,586 --> 00:29:04,227
"Everyone's fantasy."
493
00:29:10,046 --> 00:29:15,517
Let's be open to this
because everything we show you is real.
494
00:29:15,542 --> 00:29:17,391
It's really happening in real life, right?
495
00:29:17,416 --> 00:29:22,524
Sexy roles really helped
my career big time,
496
00:29:22,649 --> 00:29:30,578
and I know I can do something else
aside from sexy roles.
497
00:29:30,765 --> 00:29:33,001
It really helped my career
498
00:29:33,026 --> 00:29:36,029
when I decided to take on sexy roles
499
00:29:36,054 --> 00:29:39,531
because it seems that
it gave justice to my name.
500
00:29:39,556 --> 00:29:45,929
Maybe if I waited
after being a child actress,
501
00:29:45,954 --> 00:29:48,610
I waited for what's in store
for me after that,
502
00:29:48,635 --> 00:29:50,046
If I hadn't take on sexy roles,
503
00:29:50,076 --> 00:29:51,419
maybe it will take longer.
504
00:29:51,444 --> 00:29:56,553
Unlike when I did sexy roles,
my rise to stardom happened quickly.
505
00:29:56,578 --> 00:29:58,093
I have no regrets.
506
00:29:58,118 --> 00:30:03,477
Five years from now, I hope and wish that
I become very famous.
507
00:30:03,502 --> 00:30:07,205
My dream role is
to be an action star.
508
00:30:07,230 --> 00:30:10,972
If there are movies I can do,
it would finally be wholesome.
509
00:30:10,997 --> 00:30:12,897
I want character roles.
510
00:30:12,922 --> 00:30:16,422
The ones that would
give me recognition like,
511
00:30:16,447 --> 00:30:19,711
"Hey, she really crossed
to the other side."
512
00:30:19,772 --> 00:30:24,227
Hey, we're all actors.
513
00:30:24,430 --> 00:30:27,664
It just so happened that
we can do sexy roles,
514
00:30:27,689 --> 00:30:30,992
we can go naked
because the scene asks for it.
515
00:30:31,017 --> 00:30:35,655
But an actress and a sexy actress
have no difference.
516
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,492
There are still more admirers
than people who think lowly of us.
517
00:30:39,702 --> 00:30:40,702
Hey,
518
00:30:41,202 --> 00:30:43,805
If I will be called sexy actor
until I grow older,
519
00:30:43,830 --> 00:30:45,225
until I reach a hundred years,
520
00:30:45,250 --> 00:30:46,296
I will still be proud.
521
00:30:46,321 --> 00:30:47,711
Imagine you're sexy
despite being old.
522
00:30:47,736 --> 00:30:51,240
We're still here,
still keeping up with the newbies.
523
00:30:51,265 --> 00:30:57,360
Just so you wait. Look at your face
once you reach our age, right?
524
00:30:57,477 --> 00:31:00,446
How many times do people
pay too watch your boobs?
525
00:31:00,580 --> 00:31:03,716
You need to be talented.
You need to add depth.
526
00:31:03,741 --> 00:31:06,353
If they are talented,
they will last.
527
00:31:14,642 --> 00:31:16,559
"Damn you. Don't stop.”
528
00:31:16,584 --> 00:31:18,556
“If you stop, I'll kill you."
529
00:31:23,821 --> 00:31:29,061
"In the past thirty years
of being a director,”
530
00:31:29,127 --> 00:31:32,507
“Celso Ad Castillo was
able to make fifty-six films."
531
00:31:32,532 --> 00:31:34,881
“We should also be
thankful for bold movies”
532
00:31:34,881 --> 00:31:37,728
“because they are also supporting
the Filipino industry today.”
533
00:31:37,850 --> 00:31:41,896
“If there are no bold movies today, the
Philippine movie industry will be dead.”
534
00:31:41,921 --> 00:31:43,829
You know, you shouldn't judge
these 'pito-pito' films.
535
00:31:43,923 --> 00:31:47,869
I was at Regal when
these 'pito-pito' films started.
536
00:31:47,894 --> 00:31:51,859
Remember, those 'pito-pito films' gave
birth to Lav Diaz and Jeffrey Jeturian
537
00:31:51,884 --> 00:31:55,001
and a number of great works of
Mario O' Hara were of the 'pito-pito' kind.
538
00:31:55,026 --> 00:31:57,371
The film's quality does not depend
on the number of filming days
539
00:31:57,503 --> 00:32:00,006
or the budget.
540
00:32:00,006 --> 00:32:01,892
It depends on the
quality of the content.
541
00:32:02,008 --> 00:32:06,689
One of my best movies, which
was an adult content, is "Phone Sex"
542
00:32:06,714 --> 00:32:10,517
with Ara Mina
and the late John Apacible.
543
00:32:18,384 --> 00:32:20,357
Because of the economic situation,
544
00:32:20,460 --> 00:32:23,403
we have to shoot our films
in a very limited amount of time.
545
00:32:23,428 --> 00:32:27,693
"Phone Sex" was shot
in about 18 days.
546
00:32:27,718 --> 00:32:33,915
"Live Show" was shot
in 23 days, or 24.
547
00:32:33,940 --> 00:32:36,671
All of my Vivamax movies
were filmed in seven days.
548
00:32:38,311 --> 00:32:40,580
“Dumbass! You’re so stupid!”
549
00:32:40,580 --> 00:32:42,248
If you are doing lock-in [taping],
you have to finish that
550
00:32:42,273 --> 00:32:44,694
in ten calendar days,
seven filming days.
551
00:32:44,719 --> 00:32:50,499
When I was in Star Cinema, the
usual budget is 12 to 16 million pesos.
552
00:32:50,723 --> 00:32:52,358
That's reality.
553
00:32:53,226 --> 00:32:56,306
They would say, "aren't you compromising?"
I say, "No! It's called surviving."
554
00:33:03,603 --> 00:33:05,338
“Action!”
555
00:33:09,409 --> 00:33:11,694
A lot of people struggled
because of the pandemic.
556
00:33:11,719 --> 00:33:13,298
You will really grab every opportunity
557
00:33:13,323 --> 00:33:17,425
as long as your work
doesn't insult your dignity.
558
00:33:17,450 --> 00:33:20,329
I am tearing up.
559
00:33:20,354 --> 00:33:26,344
I saw my former editor
who now delivers for Grab.
560
00:33:27,030 --> 00:33:32,587
My crowd director died due to COVID-19.
561
00:33:33,262 --> 00:33:35,696
There was no source of income
because there was no job.
562
00:33:47,046 --> 00:33:51,507
At first, I was not 100 percent into it.
563
00:33:51,532 --> 00:33:55,421
I did it because it was the pandemic.
564
00:33:55,421 --> 00:33:59,462
I had no money.
I did it for the money.
565
00:33:59,792 --> 00:34:05,331
Eventually, I started to love it.
I embraced it.
566
00:34:05,465 --> 00:34:07,097
"Damn it!"
567
00:34:11,037 --> 00:34:14,563
This genre of film has an immense
contribution to the industry.
568
00:34:14,588 --> 00:34:15,588
First,
569
00:34:15,799 --> 00:34:16,818
economics.
570
00:34:16,843 --> 00:34:19,779
When the people were jobless due
to the pandemic,
571
00:34:20,122 --> 00:34:25,526
there were opportunities for
people working in streaming cinema,
572
00:34:25,551 --> 00:34:27,379
especially in erotica.
573
00:34:27,553 --> 00:34:32,215
We were the ones providing jobs
so the industry can thrive.
574
00:34:32,291 --> 00:34:37,196
COVID-19 changed the geographical
landscape of entertainment.
575
00:34:37,221 --> 00:34:40,191
COVID-19 changed
the system of filmmaking.
576
00:34:40,241 --> 00:34:41,909
We can't just keep on complaining.
577
00:34:41,934 --> 00:34:45,371
We have to adapt and adjust,
and that is what we are doing.
578
00:34:45,528 --> 00:34:48,894
A lot of people condemn Vivamax.
579
00:34:48,941 --> 00:34:52,254
But do they know how many jobs
it gave to the people?
580
00:34:52,545 --> 00:34:54,246
A lot of people rely on this.
581
00:34:54,402 --> 00:34:59,472
Yes, I wasn't able to make films
like that of Marilou Diaz-Abaya's Rizal
582
00:34:59,497 --> 00:35:02,371
or I won't be able to repeat
a film like Oro, Plata, Mata.
583
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:05,394
But I think it's more important
that the people are happy.
584
00:35:07,856 --> 00:35:09,277
- That's how fast it is!
- Really?
585
00:35:09,302 --> 00:35:10,302
Yeah!
586
00:35:11,613 --> 00:35:12,800
Stand in!
587
00:35:15,254 --> 00:35:19,747
"If “Ligaya ang Itawag Mo sa Akin"
is allowed to play at local theaters.”
588
00:35:19,772 --> 00:35:22,308
“It will doubtlessly
become a box office hit,"
589
00:35:22,482 --> 00:35:26,280
"but the MTRCB pointed its scissors
towards the film's direction."
590
00:35:26,329 --> 00:35:28,417
"During the first review of the film,
591
00:35:28,547 --> 00:35:32,860
a three-member committee
of the MTRCB gave it an "X" rating,”
592
00:35:32,885 --> 00:35:36,322
"deeming "Ligaya"
unsuitable for public viewing."
593
00:35:36,355 --> 00:35:38,899
"The problem with them
is when they review films,
594
00:35:38,924 --> 00:35:41,370
they only wait for the intimate scenes.”
595
00:35:41,395 --> 00:35:45,807
They don't wait for the story before they
discuss what is suitable and what isn't."
596
00:35:45,832 --> 00:35:48,496
"Perhaps they were really
waiting for the pumping scenes."
597
00:35:48,554 --> 00:35:50,691
"Maybe they are trying
to get techniques."
598
00:35:52,805 --> 00:35:56,308
"We also believe that whatever
you do in your own bedroom
599
00:35:56,333 --> 00:35:58,293
is not for public viewing."
600
00:36:08,154 --> 00:36:11,380
If you continuously ban it,
it becomes more attractive.
601
00:36:11,405 --> 00:36:14,177
The more you make it inaccessible,
the more that people look for it.
602
00:36:14,202 --> 00:36:17,020
In our country, based on
the practices right now,
603
00:36:17,045 --> 00:36:20,007
there is no such thing as censorship.
604
00:36:20,032 --> 00:36:22,568
The responsibility is left up to you,
605
00:36:22,653 --> 00:36:24,627
to render what you want to do.
606
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:29,020
It is because streaming platforms
are outside MTRCB's scope.
607
00:36:29,045 --> 00:36:30,614
Well, the internet in general.
608
00:36:33,946 --> 00:36:36,782
"You mean, they will lick the photos?"
609
00:36:37,750 --> 00:36:43,169
"Ness, leaked photos.
Leaked photos!"
610
00:36:43,256 --> 00:36:46,403
"You should've just said
"spread photos”.”
611
00:36:46,469 --> 00:36:53,130
It means that this is a good business.
It's known to the masses.
612
00:36:53,341 --> 00:36:55,142
Before, it was only for the elites,
613
00:36:55,167 --> 00:36:56,419
for the middle class.
614
00:36:56,444 --> 00:36:59,046
You'll only be able to watch
if you have money.
615
00:36:59,071 --> 00:37:00,071
With this one,
616
00:37:00,096 --> 00:37:02,286
the art reaches the masses.
617
00:37:02,342 --> 00:37:05,745
For whom is art?
It is for the masses.
618
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:11,501
It gives the filmmaker greater freedom
to tackle subject matters
619
00:37:11,798 --> 00:37:17,070
which are not acceptable or unsuitable
for commercial releases.
620
00:37:21,928 --> 00:37:24,130
The disadvantage is it can be abused.
621
00:37:24,272 --> 00:37:26,440
If you have materials
on the streaming platform,
622
00:37:26,465 --> 00:37:29,068
you can come up
with the most ingenius stuff.
623
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:30,945
But you can also come up with
624
00:37:30,970 --> 00:37:35,508
ridiculous, stupid, inane,
and brain-damaging materials
625
00:37:35,850 --> 00:37:37,309
which is also happening.
626
00:37:43,161 --> 00:37:47,253
"There is only one thing hotter
than the sexy starlets
627
00:37:47,278 --> 00:37:50,630
and their steamy scenes
in the new bold films—"
628
00:37:50,655 --> 00:37:54,325
"the protests coming
from the audiences.”
629
00:37:54,492 --> 00:37:56,327
"You feel horny, too, don't you?”
630
00:37:56,352 --> 00:37:59,794
“It's fun watching
people doing it, right?"
631
00:37:59,819 --> 00:38:02,677
"Do you want to be next?"
632
00:38:02,710 --> 00:38:05,137
Of course, these are
also exploitation movies.
633
00:38:05,162 --> 00:38:06,539
There really is no agenda.
634
00:38:06,564 --> 00:38:12,856
It is still men primarily directing
or producing films using women
635
00:38:12,881 --> 00:38:15,450
as a kind of object of attraction
636
00:38:15,475 --> 00:38:19,450
to bring in the male audience
to the cinema.
637
00:38:23,441 --> 00:38:25,677
"I'm sorry. It's so hot.”
638
00:38:26,325 --> 00:38:30,536
“Can you hang this so it can dry.
Also, please close the door."
639
00:38:31,172 --> 00:38:33,440
You know what, the exploitation.
640
00:38:33,465 --> 00:38:36,434
It actually depends on the person
if they'd allow to be exploited or abused.
641
00:38:36,459 --> 00:38:40,314
It depends on the person
if they will agree to be exploited.
642
00:38:40,339 --> 00:38:44,434
It depends on you. It depends
on how you carry yourself.
643
00:38:44,620 --> 00:38:49,544
Others might say, "Oh you were exploited,
you were abused".
644
00:38:50,009 --> 00:38:52,979
The question is, do you know
what is happening behind the scenes?
645
00:38:53,676 --> 00:38:58,294
Do you know what
was agreed upon?
646
00:38:58,446 --> 00:39:01,427
People may see it their way,
647
00:39:01,769 --> 00:39:03,337
we see it like this.
648
00:39:03,502 --> 00:39:06,472
But that is the point. It depends on you
if you'd consent to be abused.
649
00:39:06,497 --> 00:39:07,841
Is it exploitative?
650
00:39:08,075 --> 00:39:11,269
Well, if you are using minors,
that is exploitative.
651
00:39:11,294 --> 00:39:13,806
It depends on the state
of mind of the woman.
652
00:39:13,831 --> 00:39:16,175
Letter A, was she forced to do it?
653
00:39:16,450 --> 00:39:19,688
If she was forced to do it,
well that is exploitation.
654
00:39:19,712 --> 00:39:23,683
Number two, are they also
exploiting the situation?
655
00:39:24,578 --> 00:39:26,645
It works both ways.
656
00:39:26,819 --> 00:39:32,395
First, consent. Then after consent,
there is mutual agreement
657
00:39:32,589 --> 00:39:36,169
and then finally, long-term vision.
658
00:39:36,194 --> 00:39:39,059
“‘They’re not gonna let you in anyway.
Look at the time.”
659
00:39:39,089 --> 00:39:40,746
“Let’s stop. Take me home.”
660
00:39:40,780 --> 00:39:41,942
“Five minutes.”
661
00:39:42,134 --> 00:39:43,669
- “Stop.”
- “Five more minutes.”
662
00:39:43,669 --> 00:39:44,872
“No. Let’s go.”
663
00:39:44,897 --> 00:39:46,939
My assistant director is a woman.
664
00:39:47,001 --> 00:39:48,832
My script continuity
is also a woman.
665
00:39:49,175 --> 00:39:50,843
My editor is also a woman.
666
00:39:51,324 --> 00:39:54,291
I'm also looking for
a female cinematographer.
667
00:39:54,847 --> 00:40:00,027
So that my co-workers feel
that we care for women.
668
00:40:00,052 --> 00:40:05,979
My actors know that. They know
that they're well taken care of on set,
669
00:40:06,292 --> 00:40:10,909
and in the film, when they have
the chance to watch it.
670
00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:17,778
"Hey! Are you a policeman?"
671
00:40:17,803 --> 00:40:25,374
You are very right in mentioning
that Bomba films and this genre
672
00:40:25,399 --> 00:40:32,702
were pushing the boundaries
of morality in Philippine culture,
673
00:40:32,901 --> 00:40:37,841
that in our country
which has a lot many moral taboos,
674
00:40:37,866 --> 00:40:44,006
divorce is not allowed,
abortion is illegal for any reason,
675
00:40:44,974 --> 00:40:46,774
the power of the Catholic church,
676
00:40:46,799 --> 00:40:50,545
the power of many other churches,
677
00:40:50,570 --> 00:40:54,640
[it] also reinforces the
idea of conservatism
678
00:40:54,896 --> 00:40:58,802
permeating in Philippine society.
679
00:40:59,710 --> 00:41:02,356
“I have proclaimed Martial Law...”
680
00:41:02,381 --> 00:41:03,791
My God, the Martial Law?
681
00:41:03,816 --> 00:41:06,388
The Martial Law at that time,
it was also the second golden age
682
00:41:06,413 --> 00:41:11,444
because there was a common vision that
the major film directors were fighting for.
683
00:41:11,649 --> 00:41:19,498
Remember, during Martial Law, sex was
used as a means for social commentary.
684
00:41:19,616 --> 00:41:23,710
Lino Brocka's “White Slavery”—
it was a sexy movie
685
00:41:23,925 --> 00:41:27,662
but at the same time, it talked about
the issues of the times.
686
00:41:27,807 --> 00:41:31,927
Another example,
Lino Brocka's "Kontrobersiyal,”
687
00:41:31,952 --> 00:41:35,456
although these films may look
sexy on the surface,
688
00:41:35,481 --> 00:41:36,952
they also serve as social commentaries.
689
00:41:36,977 --> 00:41:38,751
Ishmael Bernal's "Hinugot sa Langit,”
690
00:41:38,776 --> 00:41:42,936
which might not be sexy,
but was an indictment about the church.
691
00:41:43,932 --> 00:41:49,225
It was the golden age
because movies had a vision.
692
00:41:49,703 --> 00:41:54,466
Movies had an aim. Movies had a purpose,
which was beyond entertainment,
693
00:41:54,491 --> 00:41:58,756
which was social commentary
and even political analysis.
694
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,772
People are becoming more aware
with the films being released
695
00:42:02,797 --> 00:42:05,811
that it is not all about sex,
696
00:42:05,859 --> 00:42:09,557
that when you watch the films,
they also tell stories,
697
00:42:09,582 --> 00:42:13,241
and it's not just about having sex.
698
00:42:13,273 --> 00:42:15,045
“They’ll get hurt.”
699
00:42:15,621 --> 00:42:16,871
“You’re right, Tiago.”
700
00:42:18,532 --> 00:42:22,403
"They just need to accept
that they are the least valued,”
701
00:42:22,428 --> 00:42:24,456
“especially for us men."
702
00:42:24,730 --> 00:42:28,600
The mentality of Filipinos
703
00:42:28,789 --> 00:42:33,013
is when they watch American films
with sexy scenes, they watch it.
704
00:42:33,038 --> 00:42:36,675
They accept it.
705
00:42:36,700 --> 00:42:41,167
But if it is from Filipino creators,
there are a lot of criticisms.
706
00:42:49,421 --> 00:42:52,667
We get to see the unsaid
in Philippine culture
707
00:42:52,725 --> 00:42:58,949
in the presentations
in the Bomba films then and now.
708
00:43:06,872 --> 00:43:09,775
That is what they say that
you have to respect yourself
709
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,363
in order to be respected as well.
710
00:43:11,487 --> 00:43:16,034
That is what I say to people, that
this is only a role that I had to play.
711
00:43:16,059 --> 00:43:17,366
This is my job.
712
00:43:17,883 --> 00:43:19,805
I just play the role.
713
00:43:19,830 --> 00:43:22,864
I don't have any regrets, up until now.
714
00:43:22,889 --> 00:43:27,426
A lot of people ask me that
and I look back,
715
00:43:27,538 --> 00:43:29,354
I remember that it is my choice.
716
00:43:29,379 --> 00:43:34,108
Why would I come to the point
that I will regret it?
717
00:43:34,180 --> 00:43:40,080
I was there already. I made that big leap.
I made that decision alone.
718
00:43:40,347 --> 00:43:43,317
That is my dream even before—
719
00:43:43,342 --> 00:43:48,102
to change the system in our industry,
720
00:43:48,127 --> 00:43:53,292
especially, regarding the mentality
of the Filipinos towards sexy films.
721
00:43:53,317 --> 00:43:57,987
Whether a lot of us
take our clothes off or not
722
00:43:59,059 --> 00:44:05,472
all of us are still actors
that act on screen.
723
00:44:05,497 --> 00:44:07,823
"Facial expressions are important.”
724
00:44:07,933 --> 00:44:14,974
“When you moan, you do it
with body language."
725
00:44:14,999 --> 00:44:17,968
"At the same time,
in order to feel it more,"
726
00:44:17,993 --> 00:44:22,346
"while you are doing it,
your eyes should show pleasure."
727
00:44:22,381 --> 00:44:23,749
"Why do you watch bold films?"
728
00:44:23,774 --> 00:44:25,242
"It's exciting."
729
00:44:25,317 --> 00:44:30,627
"We just look at it and then
when it's too obscene, I don't finish it."
730
00:44:30,652 --> 00:44:36,143
"I just want to see the body
of the actors that they are showing."
731
00:44:36,335 --> 00:44:38,626
Haven't you noticed?
732
00:44:38,651 --> 00:44:42,968
When did sexy films become popular?
733
00:44:42,993 --> 00:44:45,779
When there is socio-political unrest,
734
00:44:45,804 --> 00:44:47,881
sex becomes the national anesthesia.
735
00:44:47,906 --> 00:44:52,651
The harder the times,
the greater the love for sex is,
736
00:44:52,729 --> 00:44:54,955
especially in the Philippines.
737
00:44:55,675 --> 00:44:56,675
Okay?
738
00:44:56,724 --> 00:44:59,693
Because even for a moment,
739
00:44:59,718 --> 00:45:01,286
whether you are
watching in the cinema,
740
00:45:01,311 --> 00:45:05,315
or in your screens, or even
on your cellphones, you forget.
741
00:45:05,987 --> 00:45:12,039
And what replaces is the dopamine
while watching simulated sex.
742
00:45:12,064 --> 00:45:15,237
That is interesting.
Would it have a tipping point?
743
00:45:16,568 --> 00:45:21,273
Is it a stable diet,
or is it just a trend?
744
00:45:22,107 --> 00:45:25,502
Will it come to a point
that they'll get fed up?
745
00:45:25,527 --> 00:45:28,327
That they'll get fed up
of the boobs?
746
00:45:28,908 --> 00:45:30,917
"My body craves for you."
747
00:45:31,937 --> 00:45:33,479
"What about your heart?"
748
00:45:34,192 --> 00:45:36,872
Will it get to a point that
they'll demand for something different?
749
00:45:40,088 --> 00:45:41,427
That is a good question.
750
00:45:41,452 --> 00:45:45,385
There are a lot of sexy films
with substance and value.
751
00:45:45,835 --> 00:45:47,571
It is a matter of giving it value,
752
00:45:47,596 --> 00:45:50,345
giving more importance
to the substance and the content.
753
00:45:50,369 --> 00:45:52,171
They are looking at the story,
754
00:45:52,196 --> 00:45:55,205
and not just the sex scenes.
755
00:45:55,230 --> 00:45:59,501
I hope they realize that sex is
such an organic part of our lives.
756
00:45:59,526 --> 00:46:02,159
You wouldn't be here
if no two people had sex
757
00:46:02,502 --> 00:46:05,350
and we should see that
as something that is natural
758
00:46:05,375 --> 00:46:07,319
and something that
should be respected.
759
00:46:15,271 --> 00:46:16,639
"Harder!"
