In the van, on her way back to the hotel after gracing the Philippine premiere of Brillante Ma. Mendoza’s “Thy Womb” on Friday night, actress Nora Aunor couldn’t contain her joy—and surprise.
Come hell or high water, Cannes-winning filmmaker Brillante Mendoza was determined to shoot his latest film, “Thy Womb,” in Tawi-Tawi, in the southernmost point of the Philippines.
It wasn’t Nora Aunor’s first time in Tawi-Tawi. Still she felt seduced by the island’s pristine beauty.
The heat on the set of the GMA 7 prime time soap “Legacy” was no big deal for actress Lovi Poe; she had just returned from a seaside set in the South.
When I first heard the poetic name of Tawi-Tawi, it romanced my mind as much as Bora Bora, Bali Hai and Timbuktu did. It sounded like wafted waves and was as “delicious” as durian, as savory as mangosteen.
