Restored Version of 'Oro Plata Mata' Opens 2012 Cinema One Originals Festival

The restored version of the multi-awarded Filipino classic “Oro, Plata, Mata” by Peque Gallaga will open this year’s Cinema One Originals Film Festival on November 28 at the Robinson’s Galleria Movie World.

The screenplay of the 1982 film was written by Jose Javier Reyes with cinematography by acclaimed cinematographer Rody Lacap. The film was set in the Philippine province of Negros during World War II and tells the story of how two haciendero families cope with the changes brought by the war.

The film cast includes Cherie Gil, Sandy Andolong, Ronnie Lazaro, Joel Torre, Liza Lorena, Manny Ojeda, Mitch Valdes, Lorli Villanueva, Abbo dela Cruz, Kuh Ledesma, Manny Castaneda, and Mary Walter. It won the 1982 Gawad Urian awards for Best picture, direction, cinematography, production design, musical score, and sound. In the same year, it won the Luna Awards of the Film Academy of the Philippines for Production Design and for Best Supporting Actress (Liza Lorena).

“The script, by Jose Javier Reyes, is so thematically dense that a single interpretation is probably insufficient to discuss what the movie is really about. One could say, at the very least, that the film is about irrevocable change, how one can never really go back to happier times, once you’ve been touched by war. It’s about inevitable decay: gold, silver, death. It’s about the country, and how we’ve come to this point,” wrote Philbert Ortiz Dy in a review. “Oro, Plata, Mata has much to offer you. It’s the kind of film that gives you more and more to chew on the more you watch it. It’s an almost frighteningly rich film experience, one that shouldn’t be missed by any Filipino film devotee,” he added.

This marks the first showing of the restored version of the film. The restoration was made possible through a partnership between ABS-CBN Film Archives headed by Leo Katigbak and Central Digital Lab, Inc. It is the second film restored after Ishmael Bernal’s “Himala” in time for its 30th anniversary.

“Oro, Plata, Mata” is considered as Gallaga’s most significant contribution to Philippine cinema. Catch this timeless classic at the opening of the 8th Cinema One Originals this November 28 (Wednesday) at the Robinson’s Galleria Movie World. The festival’s opening event will start at 6:00 p.m.

The 2012 Cinema One Originals Festival will run from November 28 to December 9 at Robinson’s Galleria Movie World and from November 29 to December 4 at the Edsa Shangri-La Cineplex. The festival’s much awaited awards night will be held on December 3 at the Studio 1, ABS-CBN Main Building.

The 2012 Cinema One Originals Festival is an annual project of the Cinema One, the local movie channel on cable, owned and operated by Creative Programs, Inc (CPI).

Angelica Panganiban Plays a Dual Role in 'Apoy Sa Dagat'

Award-winning actress Angelica Panganiban is set portray two characters in ABS-CBN upcoming teleserye Apoy sa Dagat. The said teleserye which is deemed as the Kapamilya network's next grand project is slated  for release later this year.

In an interview with ABS-CBN news after the story conference for Apoy Sa Dagat, Angelica confirmed that she will be playing a dual role in the series.

"Sobrang challenging dahil dalawang character 'yung gagampanan ko. Doon pa lang kaabang-abang na siya," Angelica Panganiban said.

According to leading man Piolo Pascual, Angelica's characters in Apoy Sa Dagat will play a vital part in resolving the conflicts of the show's plot. 

"The story's so rich, ang daming sanga, ang daming mangyayari sa story. But, of course, ang essential part of the story will be Angelica, who's playing a dual role. Siya 'yung magtatagpi-tagpi lahat nung connections ng bawat character, and all of us are correlated and would have to co-exist with her para ma-solve niya 'yung conflicts sa buhay niya," shared Piolo. 

Angelica Panganiban said she feels like in heaven being a part of this ABS-CBN big project. "Parang hindi ako makapaniwala na parang part ako ng isang sobrang laking project. Tapos grabe 'yung mga makakatrabaho ko, makakasama ko, hindi lang mga artista kundi 'yung mga bumubuo ng buong proyekto," she said.

Apoy Sa Dagat will shoot most of its scenes at sea and we can expect that a lot of skin will be bared in the series.  "Basically kasi nasa dagat kami, so doon pa lang given na siya," said Angelica. 

Angelica Panganiban will be joined by Piolo Pascual, Diether Ocampo, Angel Aquino, Liza Lorena and Sylvia Sanchez in Apoy Sa Dagat. This will mark Angelica's teleserye comeback after Rubi in 2010 where she also got to work with Diether.

Apoy is another ABS-CBN teleserye to watch out for what with its exciting and challenging plot plus an ensemble of best actors in the country. We simply just can't wait.
