EX FOR EXCELLENT/

This is what Philippine Star had to say about my good friend, film enforcer and one-time boyfriend... Alexis Tioseco.

12) ALEXIS TIOSECO – Alexis Tioseco is the best Filipino film critic today. Editor-in-chief of Critecine – a website dedicated to Southeast Asian cinema – and a frequent contributor to film journals abroad, he is responsible for championing Filipino talent like Lav Diaz, John Torres and Raya Martin, constantly reminding our countrymen that they exist. With his passion, knowledge and eloquence, he is possibly the most eminent Filipino film personality in the world today.

Congratulations Egg! You deserve it. If you can get someone whose favorite films were "While You Were Sleeping" and "Mighty Ducks" to actually start watching Federico Fellini and Wong Kar Wai then you truly are one of the 20 Most Important Young Filipinos Today.

Philippine Star also listed Furball, a small production house I interned for before. Hanep! Big time na pala kayo! For those guys working in advertising, these guys have heart, passion and lots of talent, They also have young underrated directors who don't charge as much. I suggest getting them now before they explode into the scene.
