Most of my favorite Pinoy movies are included (Bayaning Third World, Abot Kamay ang Pangarap, Pila Balde, Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros to name a few). Hope you can have an updated list to include a handful of recent good movies. Or probably next 100 best Pinoy movies. Hehehe.<br /><br />Much admiration and respect.<br /><br />Mattmatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15114693966195088025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-1067954659779098882020-09-23T10:08:17.588-04:002020-09-23T10:08:17.588-04:00Thanks, CidThanks, CidNoel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-30403513873358836492020-09-17T22:46:21.174-04:002020-09-17T22:46:21.174-04:00BRILLIANT - DELICIOUS-READING MOVIE BLOG!

https://criticaf...<br />10 September 2019<br /><br /><br />Mr. Noel Vera<br />https://criticafterdark.blogspot.com/<br /><br /><br /><br />Dear Sir,<br /><br />Greetings!<br /><br />Vibal Foundation, Inc., the philanthropic arm of the Vibal Group of Companies dedicated in preserving and promoting Philippine heritage and culture, is pleased to inform you that we are publishing the book Philippine Cinema 1919–2019, under the imprint Arte Filipino. A lavishly illustrated art book not only provides a dazzling retrospective of one hundred years of Philippine cinema, it also simultaneously traces its continuous but checkered history, and examines its artistic genres, narratives, tropes, and lore while subjecting its rich filmography to critique and film theory. This book is set to publish this year, 2019, thus we are currently consolidating materials for inclusion. <br /><br />In line with this, we would like to request permission to reproduce materials such as photos, movie posters, movie stills, and/or documentaries on one hundred years of Philippine cinema that are in your collection (please see attached lists). It would be grateful if we can use high-resolution files (at least 400 dpi), if available, of the said photo/s. <br /><br />Please be assured that the materials which will be used in our book (this edition and its succeeding editions, if any) will be properly attributed. <br /><br />If you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to email the undersigned at kmantonio@vibalgroup.com and/or our Managing Editor, Ms. Kate Villaflor at kvillaflor@vibalgroup.com.<br /><br />Thank you and we look forward for your consent to our request.<br /><br />Respectfully,<br />Ms. Kayle Antonio<br />Production Editor<br /><br /><br />Around 100 Notable Films for the Centennial<br /><br />48 Oras<br />Aguila <br />Aishite Imasu 1941 <br />Aliwan Paradise <br />Anak <br />Anak Dalita <br />Anino <br />Atsay <br />Babae sa Breakwater <br />Babae sa Bubungang Lata <br />Ang Babae sa Septic Tank <br />Badjao <br />Bagong Buwan <br />Bata, Bata...
