Pro-RH Bill film wins in South Korea


August 30, 2012 | 9:41 pm

EDGARDO Roy Jr.’s “Baby Bata”

Eduardo Roy’s “Bahay Bata” won the Blue Chameleon award at the Cinema Digital Seoul Film Festival held recently. The honor comes with a cash prize of KRW 20,000,000 (P743,000).

It’s the fourth international award for the film, which tackles the reproductive health issue as seen through the eyes of an overworked nurse (Diana Zubiri) in an overcrowded maternity ward of a Manila hospital.

“Bahay Bata” previously won in Vancouver (Canada), Deauville (France) and Canary Islands (Spain), according to Roy.

The citation for the Blue Chameleon award read: “[The film] goes back and forth between fiction and nonfiction in an unusual way… It enables us to see the reality of the life of a nation through the examination of an institution.”

Roy was one of the honorees in the 2nd Inquirer Indie Tribute awards last year. Bayani San Diego Jr.

    But Pro-RH Bill loses in the Philippines

    • reddfrog

      The Church managed to attract a pathetic 7000 people after boasting of at least 50,000. What a joke the Roman Catholic Church has become. ahahahahahahahaha!

  • mangtom

    Bigyan naman natin ang award ang anti-RH Bill sector: Sotot gets the award for being the lying thief plagiarist. Where do I send my contribution to buy the gold medal?

    • boypalaban

       pia cayetano: nagmamayabang na triathlete, nagpasasa ang abugadong ama nung panahon ng diktadura, may kapatid na abnoy na si allan peter…plagiarist na mahilig magpalusot…research daw na wala lang citation…para daw sa kababaihan…hahahaha…para sa ambisyon ng angkang Cayetano…TROPHY FOR THE HYPOCRITE!

      • Guest

        Cayetano was not that as arrogant and insulting as Sotto.

      • boypalaban

        how did cayetano behave during the impeachment of coronarrovo?
        meek as a lamb? or as arrogant and insulting as brendamage?

      • reddfrog

         Perhaps they deserved to be insulted.

    • boypalaban

      PLAQUE, TROPHY AND CERTIFICATE plus CASH for the promoter of RH Bill, defender of fake president and thief justice, and has 7 lakas lumamon children….NO OTHER THAN…..EDCEL LAGMAN!

      • Guest

         interestingly the fake ex-president is an anti-rh politician. :P

       Brilliant idea mangtom. Pero bagay dapat kay sotot batuhin siya ng kamatis, sinungaling na yan.

  • DensioMasschasetts

    Tako na sila ngayon dahil malapit na ang election… Dont Vote for PRO-RH Legeslators!

  • quirinomayer

    All of those who are proud the pro-RH Bill film won and all those who will dance on the streets when the RH Bill will finally be passed into law, please vote for this comment.

    • boypalaban

      all politicians who will surely benefit from this bill, rejoice!
      all distributors of condoms, rejoice!
      all who use the Church and the poor as scapegoat for their inefficiency, evil deeds and malpractices, rejoice!

      • reddfrog

        “all politicians who will surely benefit from this bill, rejoice!”
        ===> Let’s make politicians illegal then and abolish the government since it is the source of many corruption.

        “all distributors of condoms, rejoice!”
        ===> If you’re jealous, you can start your own condom factory. Welcome to the free market system.

        “use the Church and the poor as scapegoat for their inefficiency, evil deeds and malpractices”
        ===> No need for scapegoats. The Church is self-destructing.

      • boypalaban

        “Let’s make politicians illegal then and abolish the government since it is the source of many corruption.”
        ….then honor and implement immediately the NBN ZTE,NorthRailway Project, etc…

        “If you’re jealous, you can start your own condom factory. Welcome to the free market system.”

        …hindi jealous ang tamang term… “envious”…(

        punta ka na sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo…pwede pa ihabol mga condom…kailangang kailangan na nila…bilis!

      • reddfrog

        haaayyyy, talo na nga pinipilit pa din. Yan ang hirap kung puro dogmas lang ang nasa kukote.

      • boypalaban

        pag may nabanggit kang dogma dito na binanggit ko…wala na tayong mahabang usapan…
        o banggitin mo na kung anong dogma ang pinagsasasabi mo…
        puro ka banat di mo alam ang sinasabi mo…

        o bilis anong dogma ang binanggit ko?
        huwag mo ipahiya sarili mo…sagot na….
        kung hindi mo gagawin lagi kong babanggitin dito na sablay ka…na puro ka lang akusasyon…

        O ANONG DOGMA ANG BINANGGIT KO?

  • NY_Pinoy

    May award na ang pro-RH, may strong social networks pa, pero kailan ba talaga ang approval ng RH Bill? 

    I really wonder what else do we need to do to get the bill passed. Are we so weak in getting our political aspirations addressed by Congress?  I thought there are at least 70% of Filipinos who want this bill.
