After bagging five major awards at the 7th Cinemalaya Awards Night and grossing 20 million pesos in its first five days of nationwide screening, the critically-acclaimed Indie-comedy Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank is now attempting to make it in the international film festival circuit.

The movie is the country's official entry to the Academy Awards Best Foreign Language Film Category next year. The selection committee of the Film Academy Of The Philippines was in charge of choosing which film to send to the Oscars.

Directed by Marlon Rivera and starring Eugene Domingo, JM De Guzman, Kean Cipriano and Cai Cortez, Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank is a mockumentary that chronicles a day in a life of three ambitious, passionate and misguided filmmakers who are dead set on producing an internationally-acclaimed indie film. The movie, which satirically depicts the present situation of our local indie film industry, was also recently nominated for the Young Cinema Award in the Vancouver International Film Festival.

Mother of Phil and James Younghusband finally laid to rest

PEP - Inihatid na sa kanyang huling hantungan ang mga labi ng ina ng magkapatid na Phil at James Younghusband na si Mrs. Susan Placer-Younghusband, kaninang hapon, September 15, sa Heritage Park, Taguig City.

Sumakabilang-buhay si Mrs. Younghusband noong Sabado, September 10, pagkatapos nitong atakihin sa puso. She was 49.

Bago ang interment ay nagkaroon muna ng memorial mass sa chapel ng Heritage Park na dinaluhan ng ilang mga kaibigan at kamag-anak.

Sa misa ay nagsalita sina James, Phil, at ang bunso at nag-iisa nilang kapatid na babae na si Keri.

Nagpalabas rin ng AVP presentation kunsaan ipinakita ang mga larawan ng mag-anak noong nabubuhay pa ang ina ng dalawang Azkals players.

Kabilang sa mga nakidalamhati sa magkakapatid ang ilang miyembro ng Azkals na sina Anton del Rosario, Aly Borromeo, at Misagh Bahadoran.

Naroon din ang rumored girlfriend ni Phil na si Angel Locsin, kasama ang kaibigan nitong si Bubbles Paraiso.

Kitang-kita ang pagsuporta ni Angel kay Phil sa mga oras na iyon.

Habang ibinababa ang mga labi ni Mrs. Younghusband sa huling hantungan nito ay magkahawak-kamay at nakaakbay si Angel kay Phil.

Namataan din ng PEP sa libing ang dancer na si Gab Valenciano, na kaibigan nina Phil at James.

Matapos ang libing ay sinubukan ng media na makunan ng pahayag sina Phil at James, at maging si Angel. Ngunit tumanggi ang mga ito na magpa-interview.

Bagkus, ang family friend ng Younghusbands na si Jojo Durian ang tumayong spokesperson ng magkapatid na Phil at James.

Narito ang kanyang pahayag:

"Phil and James Younghusband would like to extend their thanks to all the friends and visitors who visited them.

"Maraming salamat sa lahat ng prayers ninyo. Kasi alam n'yo naman na ito yung pinaka-lowest time nila na malungkot sila.

"We would like to thank also the press for understanding and not stepping in.

"Thank you so much! Thank you so much!

"Yun talaga yung message na gusto iparating ng magkapatid na Younghusband."

Kinumusta rin ng media kay Jojo ang magiging practice ng magkapatid na Younghusbands para sa susunod na laban ng Azkals sa Taiwan. Maaapektuhan ba ito?

"Hindi maaapektuhan 'yan," paniniguro ni Jojo.
