That’s because the usually cool and calm Jay has had his fill of real-life spine-tinglers as a boy growing up in bucolic Bulacan.

He recalls one day that made his hair stand on end and turned his otherwise predictable life into a scene straight from a horror movie.

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?

When we interviewed him, Joel just got back from the Toronto International Filmfest where his Huling Birhen sa Lupa was such a hit it added several theatres to accommodate the SRO audiences wanting to see it. Steve Gravestock, the filmfest programmer had nothing but praises for the film in his review.

Sa kanyang launching movie ay agad siyang umani ng papuri mula sa mga kritiko. Pero ngayon ay puro character role na ang ginagampanan nito sa mga soap opera dahil convincing sa role bilang mataray na kontrbida.

But what is wrong with Filipino movies that we seem to be stuck with low-quality films today?

Maybe we can look at all the cinematic aspects and find out where the problem lies.

Strangely enough, there aren’t that many local movies that tackle such themes. But that wasn’t always the case.

In the past, when scandals about the Roman Catholic Church were still hush-hush stuff, Filipino flicks about miracles were practically a dime a dozen.

Not anymore. Ma’am Charo has lost "it" (her "anonymity’" that is) because of The Filipino Channel (TFC), ABS-CBN’s sister company which beams ABS-CBN shows to various parts of the US, Middle East and parts of Asia and Australia.
