「映画祭」 - My Eigasai experience through the years

It has been a while since I last saw a film that I truly enjoyed. I recently watched a selection from an ongoing online screening in Eigasai, the Japanese Film Festival. I am amazed at how Eigasai has transformed since I first learned about it as a university freshman years ago. It has expanded in terms of movie selection, now including independent films in recent years, to complement the standard selection of contemporary films. There is an increase in the number of films screened and the number of screenings - apart from Metro Manila screenings, select provincial screenings are now made possible. Most importantly, the platform for access - an online platform for streaming was created to watch the films for a limited time. As I have moved to a place where I currently have no access to provincial screenings, I have greatly benefited from this online platform. But truth be told, I'd still prefer a theater screening over an online one.

I dug up my memory to recall the films I watched through the years, from 2007 until the present year, 2023.

I've completed a total of 17 films, including one film from the Haruki Murakami Festival in 2018, originally screened in an earlier line-up. I noticed that I also missed the film festival in several years (2009, 2016, 2019, and 2021-2022).

Most of the time, I watched the films alone but there were several occasions when there were opportunities to ask friends to come with me.

Eigasai usually coincided with the Philippines-Japan Friendship Month in July, with screenings running from July to August. In 2007, my roommate's high school friends from UP Rural High introduced me to Eigasai. Since they knew I was interested in Japan and Japanese culture, they invited me to watch Shimotsuma Monogatari (Kamikaze Girls) with them. The movie screened at 7PM and was estimated to end near 9PM, the time of our dormitory's curfew. As soon as the credits rolled at the end, we rushed out of Cine Adarna and ran back towards our dormitory. We were huffing, puffing, and sweating when we arrived at our dorm's lobby, glad we made it on time. Shimotsuma Monogatari is a brilliant and amusing coming-of-age movie. I was 17 at that time, the same age as the protagonists in the film. It just felt right to watch it at that time.

I first watched an Eigasai film at an Edsa Shangrila screening in 2010. The festival opening and first screenings were usually scheduled in this venue before going to other theaters. I had a Japan Studies class then wherein we were tasked to write a reaction paper about any film from the Eigasai line-up. What fit my schedule at that time was the screening of Houtai Club (Bandage Club). To this date, I think this is my favorite movie about friendship, connection, vulnerability, strength, and courage - perfect for the dynamic emotional shifts and changes experienced by adolescents.

Two very memorable films for me wherein I remember having shed a lot of tears were Okuribito (Departures) and Itai: Asu e no Tōkakan (Reunion) which I watched in 2011 and 2014 respectively. After watching these movies, I am reminded of the strength of the human spirit, resiliency, and to remain dignified in times of great distress, especially when things are beyond our control.

In 2017, I visited my second hometown, Iloilo City. Coincidentally, during my visit, there was an Eigasai screening in Cinematheque Iloilo. What matched my schedule was If Cats Disappeared from the World which was dubbed in Tagalog. Watching the film without my eyes chasing English subtitles at the bottom of the screen felt good.

The most recent film I watched was Hottamaru Byori (Hottamaru Days), a Japanese independent film, screened under JFF+ or simply Japan Film Festival Plus - the film programming for independent films, hosted by several small theaters across Japan.

Hottamaru Days was a very refreshing film. I love the attention to detail – the shots, use of light, sound, and dance. I like how the dancing nymphs emulate the mundaneness of everyday life in their own fun and playful way. The film was intriguing and at the same time, interesting. I love the film's combination of wander, wonder, playfulness, and otherworldliness. I look forward to more works of Director Nao Yoshigai (and other female Directors) as well as more uniquely visually visceral films in future line-ups.

Watch Hottamaru Days here for free. You just need to register for an account and you can watch the currently screening six (6) independent films until March 2023. After which a new set of films will be programmed.

In-theater screenings have started and the schedule and line-up can be viewed here.

Centralian wins Miss Iloilo-Universe 2022

A triumph for Central Philippine University as well – Miss Dorothy Marie Pastolero Gemillan a third-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing student earned the prestigious crown and title as Miss Iloilo-Universe 2022 during the Miss Iloilo 2022 Pageant Night on January 22, 2022 at Richmonde Hotel – Pool Deck.

Ms. Gemillan’s journey in this endeavor is quite a challenge since her preparation was a bit rushed. According to her, “I had a difficult time training because I was juggling both academics and pageantry. Luckily for me, my handler and mentors understood my situation. They helped me in ways more than one. My family and friends also assisted me in my endeavors, so receiving emotional support was such a relief.”

This future Centralian nurse is most grateful to God, and she considers the crown a blessing from the Almighty. “There were lots of tears and prayers that night, but it was also filled with unexplainable joy. My heartfelt gratitude will always go straight to God first, the source of my strength and hope. All the glory are His alone,” she said.

Meanwhile, the College of Nursing (CON) Community is proud of what Ms. Gemillan has achieved. In fact, in a Facebook post, CON Alumnus Mr. Geoffry Leysa encouraged everyone to support the young lady in her next journey, “we want to support her in this endeavor as she gives pride and honor to our City and our Alma Mater. We are knocking at everyone’s heart as we are raising funds to help her with all her expenses. Any amount that you can share would mean so much to her. This is our best way to show our support and this will lift her confidence.”

Ms. Gemillan would like to, “thank my family and friends who have been with me since day one, the love they have for me and I on them is incomparable. To my amazing handler, Ira Jucaban, who is the most passionate person I know. I’ve never met someone who’s so in love with their craft, and I feel honored to have witnessed your artistry – I owe you this victory. To my team and mentors, Sir Josh Sales, Sir Jojo, Sir Lee, Janjan, Mommy Maimai, Tyrone, and the beautiful Doctor Aica – words alone are not enough to express my love and gratitude for you all. I’m so blessed to have met and been taken care of by such professionals. To my astounding Dean – Atty. Salex E. Alibogha – and to the entire College of Nursing, who has shown their never-ending support all throughout this journey, I am the luckiest girl alive because I’m supported by an amazing group of people. This is my institution’s victory just as it is mine. And for that, I will forever be in their debt.”

Ms. Gemillan will be competing and will represent Iloilo in the upcoming Miss Universe Philippines 2022.

This feat of Ms. Gemillan in one way or another shows that CPU continues to strive for excellence; molding students “to become better individuals, better citizens, better Christians whose dedication and service to God and humanity encompasses the true Central Spirit.”

Iloilo City soars in 2020 amid global health pandemic

#PHnews: Iloilo City soars in 2020 amid global health pandemic

ILOILO CITY – Positive vibes marked the start of 2020 in this highly urbanized city, and not even the global health pandemic can halt the continuous efforts of its local government unit in providing quality service to its constituents.

The unseen threat of the virus likewise did not stop the accolades for the city.

“For 2020, probably the biggest accomplishment even despite the pandemic was that this city has gained prominence,” Iloilo City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas said on Thursday.

The mayor said the initiatives of the city in responding to the threat of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) was recognized and even earned the moniker “Wakanda of the Philippines”.

This, the mayor said, is a bit difficult because of the high expectations for the city. “What is important I think is for everyone to work together. We still have a lot of things to do,” he said.

Its string of recognitions began with the Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Clean Tourist City Award 2020-2022. While it was awarded in Brunei in December 2019, it was presented to the city in January.

It is given to cities that have endeavored to beautify public areas, improve the environment and sanitation, enhance urban spaces, and promote their man-made and natural attractions.

Further, it aims to provide member states with a tool that will improve their tourism quality, increase marketing competitiveness but also improve the situation of residents and livelihood by alleviating poverty.

Complementing the recognition was the launch of the traffic discipline zone at the Sen. Benigno Aquino Avenue (Diversion Road) last January 16.

The 14-kilometer road showcased Ilonggos being law-abiding in following traffic rules and regulations and likewise highlighted the beautification projects of the city.

Before the health crisis, Iloilo's world-famous Dinagyang introduced change for better entertainment.

On January 26, the first time in 52 years, the religious and cultural festival introduced the 360 degrees concept where similar performances were simultaneously seen from all angles.

It was one of the innovations introduced by the organizers apart from lighting the heritage buildings at the downtown Calle Real dubbed “Illumination”.

City of Love

But not all plans and activities in the City of Love were pursued.

Following the declaration of the national government of the public health emergency, the local chief executive immediately convened all concerned sectors to discuss steps and other measures necessary to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Classes were immediately suspended starting March 16, three days after Iloilo City was placed under enhance community quarantine or "lockdown" that lasted until the end of May.

During the period, only essential businesses were allowed to open. Only selected public transport services were given the go signal to ply routes with minimum health protocols imposed.

On March 25, Iloilo City recorded its first confirmed Covid-19 case -- a person with a travel history to Manila.

The city government was not alone in tackling the disease. Support from private and business groups and individuals kept pouring in. The support ranged from the provision of foods, rapid test kits, and personal protective equipment (PPE), among others.

The city government front-liners, the heroes of the campaign, were provided with accommodation.

The vessel of the John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University (JBLFMU) anchored at Iloilo River Wharf in Muelle Loney, City Proper was used as temporary lodging.

Amid the discrimination experienced by other health front-liners, the local government opened the Uswag dormitory at the Iloilo City Community College.

Soon other institutions followed opening their doors to government law enforcers and other individuals in the front-line.

To feed the thousands of front-liners, the mayor's wife Rosalie, with the help of the LGBTQ community, opened a Kitchen Patrol.

It fed 1,665 front-liners assigned in border checkpoints, hospitals, health centers, operation centers, and at the city hall.

While the daily food sustenance of front-liners had been taken care of, a parallel effort was initiated for city residents affected by the ECQ.

A total of 240 community kitchens were established that served around 1.9 million free meals during the entire duration of the lockdown. Parent-leaders, daycare workers, and supplemental feeding workers joined forces in cooking food for needy Ilonggos.

Ilonggo bakeries and milling firms La Filipina Uygongco, Great Harvest Commodities, Carlos Uy Corporation, and Angelina Bakeshop set aside business rivalries and collaborated with the city government to come up with the Ilonggo Pandesal, which served as a symbol of generosity and unity in times of crisis.

A total of 648,000 pieces of the pandesal were provided for free to city residents for 15 days.

Ilonggo artists also contributed by selling their prized paintings and donated part of the proceeds, used by the local government to produce 300,000 face masks through the Uswag (progress or success) sewers.

The local government in coordination with the Department of Agriculture (DA) rolled out the Uswag Rolling Store offering fresh farm produce to residents.

“Because of the Ilonggos’ unwavering brand of bayanihan spirit, we continue to fight against covid-19. Help from all sectors were overwhelming, and I am certain that it was the help coming from everyone that kept us all intact and resilient,” said the mayor in his State of the City Address (SOCA) delivered in July.

Meantime, with limited transportation, Iloilo City dubbed the "Bike Capital of the Philippines" with an 11-kilometer route along the Diversion Road, also proposed for an additional 32.86 kilometers of bike lane. It also received donations that were provided to law enforcers, health workers, and other front-liners.

The city's efforts to respond to the threat of Covid-19 was boosted with the opening of its Covid-19 molecular laboratory in Barangay San Pedro, Molo.

The laboratory could release test results as fast as 24 to 48 hours.

It complemented the existing laboratories of the Qualimed Hospital and the Western Visayas Medical Center sub-national laboratory hence the faster processing and release of test results.

Another initiative to address the pandemic is the contact tracing QR code that made it easier for the local government to identify the status of an individual.

Iloilo City has been keeping the lead among the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) in planning for the purchase of vaccines for 100 percent inoculation. It has allocated PHP200 million for the acquisition of the Covid-19 vaccine.

On Dec. 29, the city's Special Committee on Vaccine Availment had a virtual meeting with vaccine czar and national policy against Covid-19 chief implementer Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr.

Treñas said several private firms in the city have committed to purchase vaccines for their employees. “I think we are moving forward very good,” he said.

With the new Covid-19 strain, the city remains vigilant and welcomes the idea of imposing a “stronger quarantine” when necessary.

“Let us all enjoy the New Year; know that your city is working for you,” the mayor said.

The city is currently on general community quarantine status but appealed that it be reclassified under modified general community quarantine in January 2021.

As of December 30, Iloilo City was left with 118 total active Covid-19 cases out of its 4,658 total cumulative cases. It also has 652 deaths.

Alongside all the Covid-19 efforts, other infrastructure projects were either completed or were bid out this year.

It was last Oct. 7 when the city government broke ground for the proposed 375-square space state-of-the-art five-story Iloilo City Action and Response (ICARE) Center.

The command center shall house the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO), Public Safety and Transportation Management Office (PSTMO), police, and fire stations.

A site for the proposed 50-bed city hospital was likewise identified.

Ilongga beauty queen

One big win for the Ilonggos amid the pandemic was the coronation of Ilongga Rubiya Mateo as Miss Philippines-Universe during the pageant held in Baguio City in October.

Her homecoming in November made Ilonggos temporarily forget their fears of the Covid-19 virus as they tried to have a glimpse of the beauty queen.

Mateo’s homecoming coincided with the series of lighting ceremonies for the various lanterns and Christmas decorations along the major thoroughfare and plazas in the city.

Over 600 parols (lanterns) known as “Christmas Parol of Hope”, an initiative of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) Iloilo, hang along major streets of the city while private individuals and firms fill the plazas with decorations.

Just in time for Christmas Day, the Baysulangpu Society and private partners completed the mural paintings showcasing the historic landmarks of Calle Real, the old business district of the city.

Considered as the longest mural in Panay Island, the paintings were made on around 100 meters of the blank wall turned canvas along Sen. Benigno Aquino Avenue in Mandurriao district. (PNA)
