One Night Only : Hugot Sa Rosas by Ballet Philippines

For one night only, Ballet Philippines 2’s acclaimed concert, Hugot Sa Rosas, returns for a performance at the CCP Little Theater. Set to music from Vincent de Jesus’ Songs to Slash Your Wrist By, the show highlights the talents of BP’s junior company and its new breed of dancers and choreographers. The show premiered at Ballet Philippines Studio One in February 2015, as part of Fringe MNL.


Original Pilipino Music shines in this production, with songs sung by industry icons such as AizaSeguerra, Noel Cabangon, Jett Pangan, and OJ Mariano interpreted into dance form by Ballet Philippines’ young choreographers. The performances include Erl Emmanuel Sorilla’s “As Long as I Can Wait”, set to Pangan’s vocals, and “SirangOyayi” to Cabangon’s “Duwag”, as well as other songs performed by Daryl Ong, Sweet Plantado, KalilaAguilos, Daryl Reyes, and AizaSeguerra.

HugotSa Rosas also features the premiere of the dance film, Where the Light Settles. Comprised of three music videos to Autotelic’s “Unstable”, Maya’s Anklet’s “Kung AlamKo Lang”, and The Sun Manager’s “In Darkness”, the film is directed by AJ Orlina, starring BP’s Denise Parungao& Timothy Paul Cabrera, and features choreography by Paul Alexander Morales, Gillianne Therese Gequinto, and Erl Emmanuel Sorilla. The film is a Ballet Philippines and Sindikato presentation of an Alter the Native and Smashed Pumpkin Projects film.

The show tackles the Filipino concept of Hugot – an action of taking inspiration from one’s own personal experiences and emotions, especially in love, to produce emotionally powered works of art. The Rosasare the experiences that are created upon, deemed the symbolic object of the different faces of love.

First led by Agnes Locsin in 1990, BP2 is Ballet Philippines' junior performing company. It joins BP Kidz as active performing groups within Ballet Philippines. Aside from actively touring and performing locally, it has participated in international festivals, including performances in Asia and France.

Ballet Philippines 2 was formed to provide a venue for promising young dancers to develop their talents in performance and choreography in accordance with Ballet Philippines' standards of professionalism, artistry and technique. These young talents are the most outstanding apprentices and scholars of the company and the Ballet Philippines Dance School. Thus, with increasing performance opportunities for members, BP2 ultimately helps fulfill Ballet Philippines’ strong commitment to the development of the youth and of dance in the country.

HugotSa Rosas runs for one night only on September 20, 2015, 6:00PM at the CCP Little Theater. For inquiries, visit www.ballet.ph, send an email to info@ballet.ph, or call Ballet Philippines at 551-1003. For tickets and reservations, call the CCP Box Office at 832-3704 or Ticketworld at 891-9999.

Maria Ozawa wants Pinoys in next porn film

MANILA, Philippines - Japanese porn star Maria Ozawa wants Filipinos as her screen (and bed) partners in her next movie. Ozawa said in her Facebook page on Wednesday that an audition will be held for Filipino men in January. "Mabuhay! Philippines!" Ozawa said. "I bought Globe sim!....audition for the bukkake will be in January," she added. She did not say if she is already in Manila but rumors of her visit to the country made rounds on Internet forums and adult blogs just before Christmas. "Hello guys! Who wants bukkake? Audition will be on January 2012," she repeated in her Facebook page, which is linked to her official blog. The post has received more than 10,000 "likes," 535 "shares" and more than 2,400 replies. However, no one has yet to take up her offer as of posting time. Ozawa has made several dozen adult videos and non-porn movies. Her last adult video was released in April 2010. The same year, Ozawa had t

Film Review : Just The 3 Of Us

My notes on Just The 3 Of Us: 1. The movie reminded me so much of this late 90's rom-com with Matthew Perry as a happy-go-lucky bachelor who had a one night stand with a sultry Salma Hayek in Vegas. She ended up pregnant, they got married, and then discovered each other's personalities while fixing family and work issues. It was called Fools Rush In and I would have asked you to rent it in a local Video City, but I think all of their stores closed ages ago. 2. In this version though, the girl CJ (Jennylyn Mercado) would rather stalk the potential father and be the emotional punching bag of Uno (John Lloyd Cruz) who had a bad temper (F-words everywhere!), an a-hole attitude ("So what? Buhay ko 'to. Kahit mag-swimming ako sa alak wala ka pakialam!"), crazy reasoning (he wanted to take care of CJ and the baby, but made her sleep on an uncomfortable sofa bed in the living room with poor ventilation), and a drinking problem that were all supposedly reasonab
