Senator Tito Sotto Files Senate Resolution to Create Separate Film Festival for Indie Films

"On a scale of 1 to Tito Sotto, how stupid are you?" 

Senator Tito Sotto files Senate resolution creating a separate film festival for indie films, saying these shouldn't dominate the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) every December.

Contrary to what he wants to happen, the MMFF is not intended to be exclusive for indie films. MMFF should be exclusive for quality Filipino films. Make a quality film if you want to make it to the MMFF.

He also questions the "quality" of the entries. questions the quality of indie films: "Quality ba yun? Hindi high-end equipment ang gamit. Hindi top quality ang video" says Sotto. How ironic, despite being in the showbiz industry for decades, he still has no clue about what quality films are.

People should say "Senador ba yan? Hindi naman high-end ang utak. Hindi rin top quality mag-isip."

'Sinira' daw ng MMFF2016 ang pasko ng mga bata eh ikaw nga Tito Sotto kinunsinte mo ang kapatid mo na nanggahasa ng katorse anyos na bata. Remember the Pepsi Paloma controversy? Now that's a longer story that should be talked about on a separate blog post.

Why is Tito Sotto even pushing for an indie-only MMFF wtf is Cinemalaya for then? HHHmmm..I believe I know where his motivations are coming from...Enteng Kabisote!

The MMFF would have been 100x better if the producers of ORO cast Tito Sotto as the dog.

Dear Tito Sotto, please watch #MMFF2016 entries so that you will know what made a quality film. Ang bitter mo hindi lang nakalusot si Enteng.

If he really wants "quality", then the mediocre/"corny" Vic Sotto films should also be excluded. I guess your brother's film business was seriously affected. Without context, it's safe to assume Tito Sotto hates Die Beautiful. Hello Paolo Ballesteros.

This comedian turned senator is the same person who said that “If you are not a pusher or a user, you have nothing to fear in the Philippines,” Senate Majority Leader Vicente “Tito” Sotto III. But Duterte has a name for those innocents killed in hi war on drugs: Collateral Damage.

When Senator Tito Sotto was asked about the survey that 8 out of 10 Pinoys worry about becoming EJK victims: "That means they know many people who are addicts, pushers"

James Taylor has also cancelled his concert in the Philippines as a protest, not because he is afraid of the EJK issues.

I am not surprised that Duterte is our President, as I am not surprised that Sotto is still a senator. Our political system is senseless. Our voting public misguided. ...and now Mocha Uson, from being a PhilStar Columnist, to an MMFF Ambassadres, and now an MTRCB Board Member? We are forever fucked.
