Boys as Cinderella’s stepsisters or wicked queens and in a variety of other roles normally reserved for girls, apart from dwarfs in Snow White, exaggerated sets and costumes, singing and dancing plants, larger-than-life – over the top – acting, broad humor and audience participation, I thought, were very British pantomime. How wrong I was.

In May, he won the Urian Best Actor award for his role as Nonoy Laki, a pimp in love with Aubrey Miles in Prosti. In June, he was again named Best Actor in the Manila Filmfest for his role as the fake priest who is transformed by an apparition of the Blessed Virgin in Huling Birhen sa Lupa. Both films were exhibited at the Toronto International Filmfest last September. How come he didn’t join the local delegation to Toronto when he was in the cast of both films?
