“Delubyo”sees need to revisit Eddie Garcia Law
By Cynthia Montojo
“Actually, gumagawa naman ng measures ang government natin to help film industry,” Sen. Bong Revilla Jr. informed public , “nakapag-pasa tayo ng Eddie Garcia Law…there were producers reacted and said, they got affected after law was passed.
Bong, star in action movie “Ben Delubyo” is aware of state of local films at the box office. Most releases do not fare well at the tills. Theatrical films do not make money and fail to recoup their expenses.
Government has apparently not listed particularly strong support for film industry. A film commission is needed to subsidize making good films to help industry.
“Dapat talaga, we should be more aware of working hours of the people in TV and film industry… I think we have to revisit the law and have dialogue with producers and actors…senior stars are hardly getting more projects lately…even child stars, nawawala na rin… does that mean we will never have another Niño Muhlach in the industry?”Bong cried.
“Niño started as a child actor and really became very popular…we do not normally see children on TV or movies now… child stars are allowed to shoot for four hours and then they pack up…how can we develop another child star like Niño Muhlach again…we have to revisit the law and study it again carefully…we need support of government or the film commission in Eddie Garcia Law,”Bong stressed.
Bong said government needs to augment funding for our film and TV industry. “Ang dami na namin sa senate to assist our film and TV industry, that’s one of our purposes to help industry para maibangon natin dahil dying industry na ‘yan…lahat nasa Netflix na, but if we can resurrect the industry, well and good… I remember there was time, nawala ang action and nauso ang bold, but thankfully, bumalik ulit ang action…nabuhay ang industriya,” the senator said.
Bong insisted that experience of watching film on big screen is really different from watching it inside your homes.
“Iba ang experience inside movie houses, gagawa kami ng batas para ibaba ang bayad sa sinehan. ..to watch movie these days, mahina ang P1,000, especially if your whole family will go…not all families can afford…only rich ones,” he maintained.
He is also amenable to designating venue for rated-R films, like Experimental Cinema of the Philippine (ECP) before.
Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) can also extend its focus and classify films in streaming platforms, not just on TV and movies.
In 2019, when Bong launched his senatorial campaign anew, he did the popular “budots” dance that became viral and was copied by other candidates until now.
He got this remark, “Nag-budots lang si Bong Revilla, nanalo na.” Yet, Sen. Bong said he did not take that sitting down.
“Nag-trabaho ako,” he insisted. “Nag-perform ako…ipinakita ko sa tao na hindi lang budots ‘yun…hindi naman ako magaling mag-budots.
“Ang nag-boost lang sa akin nyan ay si Jolo Revilla, urged, ‘Papa, sayaw ka.’ When we previously came out with my other TV ads, wala kaming masyadong reactions…when they made me dance budots, nag-viral siya…all over the world, with billion views.
“Ang daming senatorial candidates ngayon…ang daming kandidato…puro superstars ang mga kasama ko ngayon… I don’t have to be complacent,” the reelectionist senator said of his campaign.
But he did not campaign all the way to Baguio last February after he went to Pampanga. Politicians were told not to show up in Panagbenga Festival to avoid getting bashed.
