"In the world of schizophrenia where imagination and reality are hard to define, Ed and Irene are about to discover the true meaning of love."

Schizophrenia is a condition that is really difficult to manage. Unless the patient accepts and wills herself to be cured, it may become a lifetime problem not only for the patient but also for her family. Sacrifices has to be made plus patience and understanding are required to be able to cope with a critical situation such as this.

I attended the premiere night screening of Mga Anino ng Kahapon, an entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2013 for the New Wave category. It was a story about how a certain individual and her family overcome the troubles and hardships that resulted due to the mental condition.

The movie stars Agot Isidro and TJ Trinidad as the lead actors, directed by Alvin Yapan, produced by Johnsons & Johnsons. The movie also stars Carlo Cruz, Upeng Galang Fernandez, Carl Alexander Acosta and Ku Aquino.

Francis Magalona was phenomenal during his time, and until now where his music continues to live within our memories. His music has become a part of history - the better part of rap and hip hop music where everyone was moved to the beat and the awesome lyrics.
One of the highly celebrated song of the Master Rapper was Kaleiscope World, a song that deals with diversity and with encouraging everyone to unite. It was early this year that the song was revived into one of the most remarkable videos of the year. Francis Magalona and his son, Elmo Magalona, appeared in one video shot 18 years apart. 

Kaleidoscope World is now also the Philippines' first Hip Hop dance film, a love story inspired by the music of Francis Magalona. Starring Sef Cadayona and Yassi Pressman. A film Produced & Directed by Eliza Cornejo.
