                    [Summary] => 

The tragic irony of Magnifico is that it is the sudden death of its titular prepubescent do-gooder that will teach the sad and conflicted residents of a provincial town a lesson in joie de vivre.

The 34th Gawad Urian to be held on May 17, Tuesday, at the Marriot Hotel Ballroom will be a major event in the sense that aside from the regular awards (Best Picture, Actor, Director, etc.), there will also be an awarding of the 10 Best Films of the Decade.

Whenever I see children selling sampaguita or doing some other odd job just to help their parents out, I can’t help but be reminded of the movie Magnifico. Released in 2003, directed by Maryo J. de Los Reyes and written by Michiko Yamamoto, the movie’s acclaim stemmed not from its special effects (which seems to be the sole selling point of just about every other local film produced today) but its excellent storytelling.

[Summary] => And the winner is...

In six of the awards derbies this season, the same name was called as Best Actor – Jiro Manio for Magnifico.

It’s a feat.

At 12 (last May 9), Jiro is the youngest ever to win as Best Actor, an achievement reminiscent of Tatum O’Neal’s who was the youngest to win a Best Supporting Actress Oscar (for Paper Moon, 1976), and a grand slam at that!

Muy magnifico!

Ears hungry for the sound of home alertly caught each wave sent out by the theater’s loudspeakers. That Friday night last March 26 at the KIT Tropentheater in Amsterdam, I along with a group of people from different cultural backgrounds, sat as the magic of Magnifico and Maryo transported me to a world of hope.

But an official proclamation before millions of Filipinos still beats everything else.

In sharp contrast to her flat denials and evasiveness some time ago, Golden Screen Best Actress Ara Mina made no bones about it this time. She’s in love with Jomari Yllana, Aiko Melendez’s ex-husband.

He was first on her thank you list the other night as she dedicated her trophy to him.

That time, those who stayed behind with the PMPC and those in the breakaway faction were having a tug-of-war over the name "Star Awards."
