FILIPINO FLICKS

Thursday, September 30, 2004

There seems to be an abundance of movies/telemovies/series from ASEAN countries on Malaysian TV these days. Flip the channels and you might catch a few Philippine soaps before you can finish saying Dahil Sa Yo. The same for Thai and Indonesian offerings. I am not sure whether this is an ongoing exercise in ASEAN solidarity or just an economical effort to fill airtime.

I never voluntarily watch these soaps unless my friend Razak comes to visit. Then he will stick around until 5 pm when "Kay Tagal" or whatever is currently on starts. Most of the time, I will watch the soap with him.

Filipino movies reached our shores as early as the fifties. The Malay word remos (slick hair style, men's) is probably a throwback to one of the Filipino stars named Ramos.
I can only remember 2 Filipino movies that I saw. One was Darna the other Wan Malas.

Darna was the Filipino version of Wonder Woman. It started as a character in a comic series. A young girl found a meteor, read the word etched on it (Darna) and changed to Wonder Woman (or a female Captain Marvel, if you want to nitpick) and fought all sorts of enemies.
DARNA POSTER Posted by Hello
The movie was directed by one Fernando Poe. Probably the same gentleman who lost the recent Philippines Presidential Election. Darna -The TV Series is in the works.

Wan Malas was about a lazy villager. All I can remember about the film was the part where Wan Malas had to do marketing. He bought crabs for dinner. He was too lazy to bring the crab home. Instead he told the crabs to find their own way to his house. He got home first and after a while the crabs arrived. He scolded the crabs for getting home late.

If you want to know more about Darna, I found a website. Enjoy!

  • Wan Malas sounds like a more interesting character! It's unfortunate there's no link or TV series in the works.

I hope you do not think I am intruding but I must say it is great blog.
