Ano ang pangarap mo sa ating bayan?

Today is election day. Let’s all go out and vote. I know this election will not be perfect, but it is all worth the try.
All our country needs are honest leaders to help us move towards the right direction. Yan ang pangarap kong mangyari sa ating bayan. Tulong-tulong tayong lahat to make this first automated election a success.
ABS-CBN came up with a worthwhile project it’s called Ambisyon 2010. Funding will be given to finance a short film on the important issues
about today’s elections. Out of 80 who submitted their concepts, the top 10 were made into short films directed by famous as well as
amateur indi-film directors.
Here are two of the 10, I’m still looking for the rest on the web:
Lupang Hinarang - Ditsi Carolino
A documentary film about the Sumilao farmers of Bukidnon.
Part 1


Part2


Ayos ka-Brilliante Mendoza
Mendoza’s film, “Ayos Ka” is a music video whose hopeful soundtrack is a stark contrast against images of poverty, prostitution, drugs and murder. This was initially banned by MTRCB for public viewing. The MTRCB claimed Mendoza’s film is “injurious to the prestige of the Republic of the Philippines and its people.”



Another film which will never be shown because it was given an X rating by MTRCB was Jeffrey Jeturian’s film which focused on the state of the economy. His camera follows a newspaper from the time it is delivered to a homeowner to when it is used to wipe feces from the foot of a cart-pushing vendor. Jeturian uses a newspaper printed with the same controversial advertisement that came out in early January trumpeting the administration’s economic successes. The film, called “Ganito tayo ngayon, Paano na tayo bukas?” ends with President Arroyo’s photo on the crumpled newspaper. The MTRCB said in its decision that the film was X-rated for “undermining the faith and confidence of the people in government.” Ikaw ano ang pangarap mo sa bayan natin?
