A politician refuses to apologize to some irked members of the showbiz industry because he thinks there are no reasons to be sorry.

Let’s see, he doesn’t think that it’s a reason to apologize for the following:

1. When the presenter failed to call out the name of Lualhati Bautista as a nominee for the Best Screenplay. I can understand Bautista. Just like all of her novels, she wrote it with blood and love. It’s the story of her life. It’s the story of every mother in the world. It was her baby… Dekada ’70 had suffered enough already. There was a time when the novel was printed incomplete, without Bautista’s consent. The same publisher “forgot” to send her the royalties. She filed charges against the publisher. When she finally got the rights to the book back, she found a new publishing company to print it. And now, here’s another pig who “forgot” her. The writer can only take so much.

2. The judges weren’t introduced
I guess the swine was right. It wasn’t his fault at all. I mean, with him being late and not having the common decency to be on time to introduce the jurors, who can blame him? Besides, it’s not an obligation to thank the judges. He probably provided them with lunch while they watched nine films for hours deciding on who will take home the trophies. Really, the judges are inessential in an AWARD-GIVING BODY

3. It was not his fault. It was the fault of the guy who transferred the names of the nominees on a bigger index card. After all, it was not his job to see to it that everything will run smoothly, that’s what taxpayer’s are for.
I pity that staff. I saw his hands shaking while trying to defend his self and air his side. Unfortunately, the Swine seeing him as the scapegoat drowned his explanations with his own accusing voice.

4. It was the fault of Aisa… Aiza… Aisa Marquez ba yun?
Right, don’t even bother checking the correct name of your scapegoat. Afterall, she’s just a starlet you picked somewhere down the road.

He said that this year’s Filmfest was the most successful ever (I roll my eyes). They get to promote the films in other parts of the country. Plus they were able to show the films simultaneously all over the Philippines. He also said that the filmfest was for the fun (Is it just me or I don’t see anyone laughing?) It’s not exactly an award giving body (Whaaaaaaaaat!?!, so what he means is that the trophies the winners took home that night were actually souvenirs given out to the first one who reached the stage first?). Plus, all of the films are successful blockbusters in their own rights.

Well, what can I say except that, they don’t owe that to you, you scumbag! The films are earning because of the combination of talents of the actors, scriptwriters, director, and everyone in the production.

So take your film fest and stick it up in your shit-filled ass!
