A maritime lawyer by profession, sometimes called Frog Prince of the Philippines with currently more than a thousand of collectible frog items. Like the frogs with a reputation for leaping that is well deserved, jump with me to my froglandia as we travel and explore the world seeking symbols of divine powers of love, fertility, regeneration, rebirth, immortality, and transformation.
Pardon me and correct me if i am wrong, it has been a practice or tradition for the cast, including the main actors/ actresses, to mingle with the crowd/ fans at the lobby after every gala night of the Cinemalaya competition films. Perhaps as a sign of appreciation to the supporters of the film through the photo opportunities with the fans. Unfortunately, it did not happen for the fans of Coco Martin after last night's Sta.nina gala night. I was very near him on the way out of the main theater and as expected, the crowd was already awaiting for him outside. To my surprise, and perhaps frustration of his fans, they turned right and went down towards the exit door . He was assisting Anita Linda. Since i am very near him, I heard Allexandra de Rossi saying " Sa Sofitel daw tayo" . As an artist who can be considered as one the Cinemalaya product whose rise to fame is attributable to indie films, I am just wondering why Coco Martin "just left" and did not even gave his fans a chance to go near their idol. Some of them lined up hours before the screening. In the past, even the big stars mingle with the crowd like Eugene Domingo in last year's gala night of Babae Sa Septic Tank. Eddie Garcia was all smiles during the photo ops with the audience before and after the gala night of Bwakaw. Fans still waited hoping that he will come back but to no avail. Just sharing my thoughts.
