		What she meant was that the Philippines receives fewer visitors than other Southeast Asian countries - about two million a year compared to Thailand's six million - because it is not part of the Southeast Asian mainland.
		But it was the events of the 1980s that brought the Philippines to the general attention of the rest of the world.
		The Philippines is a passion play writ large and nowhere is this more evident than in the hundreds of fiestas and religious ceremonies that are held every year.

		Philippine cinema is fighting for its survival and international recognition, like European cinema, today.
		It is a real story of a Philippine household helper who works in Singapore and due to an unlucky coincidence is suspected of a murder of a child she was looking after and her Philippine colleague.
		The film has not been shown in Philippine cinemas yet due to the enormous pressure exerted by politicians and moralists, even though after its international premiere in Berlin in February 2000 it was presented at six more international film festivals.

	Philippines' democracy in turmoil \| Democracy News Analysis from open Democracy
		Philippine governments have never been able to collect more than a small percentage of income taxes due, and Arroyo’s flagship tax proposal quietly declared surrender on this front, shifting the burden of revenue collection to an expanded value-added tax (Vat).
		Power in the Philippines is now centred heavily in Manila, with a powerful executive branch often at odds with the legislature, which is composed of a regionally elected house of representatives and a nationally elected senate.
		In the Philippines, as in many post-dictatorship democracies, many poor voters have fond memories of the dictator’s attempts to placate them with subsidies and price controls, and look kindly on the paternalistic politicians who can be approached for favours and handouts.

	Criticine :: elevating discourse on southeast asian cinema
		The Philippines has a number of different “groups” of critics or awarding bodies—the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino, the Young Critics Circle, the Film Academy of the Philippines— each with their own biases and politics; and none of which Vera belongs to.
		While Philippine cinema saw rejuvenation in 2005, the decade that preceded was almost certainly a disappointing one.
		Vera’s love is cinema, you see, and it is a love so strong and faithful that it appears to devour almost all other impressions of the man. Cinema is his love, and Philippine cinema his steady girlfriend.

	A Short Interview with Raya Martin. By Mark Peranson.
		Martin: The tragedy of Philippine Cinema is that it doesn’t have a proper archive, because of circumstances, general attitude toward cinema...The war took away everything except for four films, and all of them are in bad shape now.
		If I remember correctly, cinema in the Philippines was born in 1897 with a screening by westerners.
		His background was more in Philippine History, and the defense went on and on about details regarding title and costume inaccuracies, and he wraps it up by saying he doesn’t know what the film wants to do.

	THE PHILIPPINES CINEMA INDUSTRY, Philippines Tourist Information and Travel Guide at InfoHub.com
		The first filmmakers came to the Philippines from America at the beginning of the twentieth century, using the islands as a bulk-standard Asian backdrop for any film that required palm trees and heat.
		This age of censorship was also, ironically, the golden age of Philippine cinema, with the late Ishmael Bernal and others like him showing their work at European and American festivals.
		Philippine cinema today is still in a quandary, torn between the easy profits of bankable bombas and the creeping need to give the country's emerging middle class something more than heaving chests and testosterone.

		The Philippines consists of 7000 islands, but some of them are only nameless sand banks or rock formations in the ocean.
		The republic of the Philippines was declared in 1946 with a democracy after the American role model.
		Because foreigners are not allowed to own land in the Philippines, it is always the wife or a very good Filipino friend (which can still be scary) who has to be the official owner of the lot.

	Death in the Land of Encantos (Lav Diaz, The Philippines) By Robert Koehler
		Now that Raya Martin, John Torres, and the rest have come into their own—forming the most dynamic and daring national cinema anywhere—it’s thrilling to see Diaz graze deeper into his own Malay ecosystem, where viewer adaptation to local conditions is absolutely essential, where certain categories can be tossed out with the trash.
		The only real way to be with Diaz’s cinema is to sit in a pitch-dark room, watch, and let the outside world peel and drop away.
		It’s a cinema viewing experience without parallel, exactly recreating what happens if one were to stand in a large landscape and wait for a person to arrive from the extreme distance.

	3rd World Hero: Rizal and Colonial Clerical Power Through the Lens of Philippine Third Cinema
		The Philippines celebrated the centennial of its independence in 1998 and a nationalistic wave swept the country.
		Philippine cinema rode the crest with films on revered national hero Dr Jose P. Rizal (1), the most notable of which was Jose Rizal by acclaimed director Marilou Diaz-Abaya.
		While Third Cinema holds the distinction of being the only major critical theory of film that did not emanate from the west, it is ironic that there has been an almost complete flout of discussions relating to Southeast Asian Cinema, let alone Philippine Cinema.

	Film Studies
		The theme of the semester ("Cinema and Time") is designed to encompass many possible sorts of topics; although most of the films we discuss in class will come from the 1920's and 1930's, the final research paper does not have to restrict itself to that period.
		At the end of the course, students should be able to bring an increased sophistication and depth to their understanding of how sound contributes to (or diminishes!) the film experience, and be able to express this understanding in a coherent, sensitive, sophisticated, and technically and historically knowledgeable and compelling manner.
		Third, the course evaluates the films as art works interpreting issues and themes in Philippine society, such as censorship and morality, art and commerce, film and politics, authoritarianism and artistic freedom, hispanism and anglosaxonism, patriarchy and the stereotyping of females and gays, and foreign influence and national identity in cinema.

		And that's basically okay, not because he's right (who ever is?), but because it all amounts to a transparent theory of cinema and a critical practice that enables discerning readers--both aficionados and neophytes--to draw their own conclusions.
