Men Power in Philippine Cinema

The Movie Workers Welfare Foundation (MOWELFUND) will present Pinilakang Tabing: Handog sa Pelikulang Pilipino, a tribute to the Philippine motion picture industry on its 92nd year, led by local filmdom’s most illustrious talents and industry leaders.  The event, to be held at the CCP tonight, is co-presented by Film Development Council of the Philippines, CCP and TV5.

Last May 4, Funfare’s “other beauty expert” Celso de Guzman Caparas made a “Women Power” in Philippine Cinema list inclusive of the films with “name” titles made by Filipino actresses.
