Side by side with the auction was a beautiful collection by Edna and Philippe Lhuiller!! When you first enter the room and see the exhibit, it just immediately calls attention
Last October 20, Thursday, was the Francisfest Charity Auction organized by Tito Joey Soriano, President of the Parish Pastoral Council of the Sanctuario de San Antonio Parish Church. His goal was to raise P 11m and by that evening he was already halfway without even selling yet all the auction items.

Two Years ago I featured UNREST as it was premiering in LA
Previous Entry: Unrest Produced by Marie Tantoco Pineda October 10, 2009
This month, Unrest premiered in our country and it was nice to see the movie on the big screen! I only watched it on DVD and this time I got to watch it in a theater and it was even better!! Congratulations again Marie!! Looking forward to a full length movie!!!
Dear Marie, I would like to say with all sincerity that after seeing the film I realize now why you won the awards! I was narrating it to Patrick scene by scene and it struck me how super good the story is and how it was adopted in the screenplay. The direction was super! so many dramatic camera scenes to make you feel the emotion of the moment! One second more…one scene more…and my tears and sobs wud fall unabashedly! CONGRATULATIONS! T. Nedy
Congratulations Marie! My friends and I really enjoyed!
The way you sourced and selected your props was amazing! Loved the benz, and the toyota lite ace even more. Oh and their license plates! Heard m.dino found those, nice one m.dins! It was hard to tell that it was shot in the states. Congrats! Cant wait for the next one!

Congratulations Marie! The film was compelling, moving, and complete in 15 minutes. Its so challenging to accomplish all that in such a short time. That’s why its brilliant.
On Another note, you are also an amazing muti tasker: producer, spokesperson, film operator and DJ.
Congratulations marie!!! It was such a well made film! We really enjoyed it!
Mike and Kathy Huang
Dear Marie
I saw the film before and it was in tv. Now I saw why it’s called a film because it’s meant to be in a cinema
I’m so proud of you. I saw the movie in a new light and new emotions ran thru. Iba pala. And no wonder this won the bafta award! Imagine bafta?! Congrats really mars
Emmanuel Tantoco Pineda
Hi Mars,
I agree with Paowee, it was hard to tell that the film was shot in the US. I first watched this film on the DVD you sent me, but it’s on the big screen that I really appreciated the little details like the 1980’s license plate, passports, and even the design of the maids’ quarters that all lent authenticity to the film.
I thought it was great that you found a young Filipina who can speak fluent Tagalog – and without an American accent! I was thinking that it’s difficult to find someone that age in our family who can speak our native language even if they’re all growing up here in the Philippines. What more trying to seach for one among Filipino kids living in LA!
For movies, many are quick to praise an actor or director. But as the person who called the shots you deserve all the credit for setting the direction, high standards and producing a quality film. Again, congratulations on a great job! 🙂

I am telling you ,whenever I visit Bigboy, there is just so much going on! And he is always so busy launching this, featuring that. He told me he is going to rest for two days! What??only two days? 🙂
Bigboy is introducing me to a different world of toys and art. Quite interesting!
This time it was Vomit Boy by Jj Zamoranos. It’s a limited edition toy being sold exclusively in Secret Fresh.
And upstairs in the gallery was his exhibit. Heart2Heart supports Bigboy since he supports Filipino artists. Bigboy told me “Sana yung art natin magspread, lalo na yung local.” We are so lucky we have good patrons of Filipino art that help promote our artists and their talent. Thank you Bigboy for being one of them!
