congratulations to my good friend jerry gracio!
He wrote the award winning film, santa santita, that will finally hit the screen on November 2004. Jerry also wrote classic pinoy erotic films like talong, itlog and other pinakbet veggies titled movies that made diana zubiri a sex pot.
From the film press realease excerpt:
"That was precisely what attracted filmmaker Laurice Guillen to the award-winning script of Jerry Gracio, who won first prize in the scriptwriting contest of the Film Development Council of the Philippines a year before the victory of what would turn out to be the widely acclaimed "Magnifico."
"Under the main narrative, there was another spiritual story that was unfolding," says Laurice. "I wanted to focus on that. The challenge was in showing these two paths merging. All the characters in this movie underwent a journey. They all realize that all of us in this world are sinners. But what is important is how you struggle to be good. As they say, 'The road to hell is wide and paved, but the road to heaven is narrow and hard.' "
This odyssey is best captured by the two main characters in "Santa Santita," Malen and Mike, portrayed by Angelica and Jericho. Malen's character undergoes a roller-coaster ride, evolving from a carefree teener into a repentant mystic. Mike also experiences a powerful transformation-from the very personification of evil to a "very vulnerable victim of circumstance."
Jerry is now drafting the Environmental Code of Valenzuela and if passed by our city council, it will lead to the reduction of accumulation of bugger in our city.
