    so, you are the screenwriter! ive watched “lihim ni antonio”and I liked it. i now plan to grab a dvd of parola :)

    hope to see more of your films in the future, lex.

    i seldom watch movies so i hope these films will be made available in dvds soon, including the other gay-themed indie films.

    meanwhile, i look forward to attending your yoga classes (do you teach at FF?). Im a balance/yoga affecionado.

    goodluck!

    hi lex,
    i’ve seen both of your films (dvd copies) recently and i love it! i think they are worthy to be praised and submitted to festivals abroad.

    i lived in havana, cuba for almost 4 years and have had a wonderful gay relationship with a cuban boy – now that i am back in manila, i wanted my story to be put into film, what do you say?

    anyway, keep making beautiful films so we could watch them here and abroad.

    “que tenga buena suerte y continuas escribiendo istorias con tema de la vida del gay siempre”!

    hi! really i loved your parola, it really broke away with the commercial films but your antonio is somewhat too taboo and somewhat commercialized for me… i hope you can make a film that will really show the plight of the 3rd sex and will touch on the sociocultural issues and the hypocrisies of the state and church.

    hmmmp your story line somewhat resembles “y tu mama tambien” but i havent watched it yet.

    but really i admire your writings

    Hi
    I have to say your films are irresponsible. You are universalising western gay ideologies and trying to convert indiginous pinoy sexual norms to the McDonalds way. I’m a American living in the Phils and I lament the westernisation of bakla. What you fail to mention in your films is that western values are based on greed, imperialism and individuality. When it is too late the indiginous Spanish – Pinoy culture, with all its beauties and flaws, will be no more. I say Filipino’s should reject the gay model, not embrace it. Stand up and be counted Filipinos! The discretion of the past was better than the outing of thr present. Look at American gay scenes for an idea of where the Phil is heading.
