Call Center Girl is a very timely film about our unsung heroes who live like OFWs in our own country. Pokwang, who stars in this film, again proves that she is more than a former champion of CLOWN IN A MILLION.    There was a time when Pokwang's name was tainted by a video that went viral via the youtube .   I lost my respect for her because of this, but if God can forgive, why can't I? I cannot speak for everyone present.  Of course, like the Anne Curtis-Smith fiasco at the Prive Luxury Club at The Fort Strip, we weren't there and we do not know the whole story.  Vice Ganda also irked me when he made fun of fat rape victims  at Jessico Soho's expense, but if JS could forgive him, why couldn't I? Anyways, if you want to hear her explanation, please click this . In any case, though it does not really matter much, she gained my  respect when she played the role of Aryana's mom, Ofelia.  Pokwang played the role of a kindhearted pl...

TUHOG main cast:  Jake Cuenca, Enchong Dee, Eugene Domingo and Leo Martinez TUHOG theme song Tuhog is a very unconventional film noir that pulls the heartstrings and opens the mind.   The ending for me and my mom was quite unexpected, so I won't talk about it here...and for those who are wondering, NO, this is NOT a remake of a Klaudia Koronel film(aka Larger than Life). I got interested in this movie the moment the trailer was shown. The number one reason was because of Eugene Domingo as FIESTA . She for me is one of the best actors/performers/comediennes in the world.  She is also very, very intelligent and witty.  Being all that, one would think it would get into her head, but she is one of the humblest beings in the entire universe. Perhaps, that's an exaggeration, but that's how I see her. Now, add the very dashing debonair Jake Cuenca, the ultra talented Leo Martinez and the  muy simpatico  Enchong Dee , then the sum is a MUST SEE...
