Aparisyon is a film about contemplative nuns (monks) who must grapple with an act of violence in the months leading to the declaration of Martial Law in 1972.

Also playing one of the lead roles is renowned opera singer Fides Cuyugan-Asencio, with Raquel Villavicencio and Ms. Rustica Carpio. The movie is written and directed by Vincent Sandoval. With a very good script, Jodi and Mylene reportedly find time despite busy schedules to film for this Cinemalaya entry which will be shown on July 20-29 at the CCP, Greenbelt and Trinoma cinemas.

With this teaser, it seems like Aryana will be a modern mermaid story set in today's techie world. The teaser somewhat reminded me of H20: Just Add Water. 


Another treat from ABS-CBN, Aryana will premiere on Primetime Bida this summer. Perhaps this will replace Wako Wako sometime in May.
