Close Up Lovapalooza Discriminates Same Sex Relationships

I for one experienced that myself.

My partner and I were given VIP tickets by someone from San Miguel Beer the night before the Lovapalooza (Valentine's Party Friday night in Ortigas). Since Pupil, one of my favorite bands will be performing, my partner and I decided to attend the event even though we will be coming from Taytay, Rizal in the afternoon and number 2, there will be lots of people there. It's free anyway, so we went for it.

Jay: Showing at SM Cinemas

Cinemalaya Best Picture and Asian Hotshots winner for Best Feature - Jay is currently being shown in SM Cinemas. According to the Facebook event, the movie will be shown until March 4. By the way, they have a promo too. If your name is Jay, you can watch the movie for free. You just need to present your valid ID.

The film stars Baron Geisler (as Jay Santiago), and Coco Martin (as Edward Navarro). The film is directed by Francis Pasion.

"Jay" is about the gay schoolteacher that was brutally murdered in a sex-crime. TV producer, then, convinces the family to shoot Jay's wake and funeral for a reality show. You can read more about its synopsis in their website: JayTheMovie.com.

The title of the film reminds me of the song "Hey Jay" by Eraserheads. I'm not really sure though if the title of the film was somehow inspired by this song.

Patolas' (Mga Pumapatol) Theme Song for Gays???

patambay saint rapper - saint rapper

Have you heard this song? Well, it's sounds "Salbakuta-ish" (the Pinoy hip-hop group who sang 'Stupid Love'). When you first listen to it, it sounds funny but when you dig deeper on the lyrics it is very discriminating against our 'sisterettes' in the LGBT community.
