                    [Title] => Kubrador and a few hardy A’s
                    [Summary] => MLR Films’ Kubrador got an A grade from the Cinema Evaluation Board, the first for the year 2006. It is the ninth film to get a 100 percent tax rebate since the CEB-reconstituted from the old Film Ratings Board – started grading local films in early 2003.


Others that got this rare nod were Noon at Ngayon and Crying Ladies in 2003; Santa Santita and Panaghoy sa Suba in 2004; La Visa Loca, Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, Bigtime and Mulawin in 2005.

The survey, conducted last June and commissioned by the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), however found that most fans who watch in moviehouses come from the Class D (67 percent), with the bulk coming from National Capital Region and balance Luzon (57 percent).

The MTRCB, let me say once more, determines audience suitability – if a film is R-18 (for adults only), PG 13, general patronage or X.

Below is my wish list for the year 2002.

• Safety for Lipa City mayor Vilma Santos and family. In this country, when you do what is good and what is right, you make enemies. Vilma has proven to be a good mayor to her constituents in Lipa. But look at the trouble it brought her. Here’s wishing she’d finally lick all the bad elements in this otherwise beautiful and peaceful city in Batangas.

But make no mistake about it. Diether Ocampo has those broad shoulders, heaving chest, smoldering eyes and muscles that can make any red-blooded female swoon. And Star Cinema is wasting no time capitalizing on these.

For those who are still confused with regard to the functions of these two agencies, here’s a brief explanation. The MTRCB was set up by the government to determine the audience suitability of films (both local and foreign) that are going to be shown in the country. Their classifications are as follows: X, R (for adults only), PG-13 and GP or general patronage.
