Who The Hell Is Xixi Maturan???

Age is merely a referential element to acknowledge one's generation. At 59, although I no longer hunger fame or glory, I just wish to keep my consciousness in focus. Doing best what I love , and filled with excitement even just to whip up a breakfast feast or smudging a song.
I always miss sitting around movie sets waiting for my cue or reading a spiel. So, when IzQitZoHandiWerks presented this video collage project basically to hawk this talent whose twilight years is at the wings to convene; I readily loved it and when they gave me the raw cut, there wasn't a minute before I spread it on Facebook. I never thought anyone would give a damn to ask WHO THE HELL IS XIXI MATURAN?

This says it all : ... a cryptic collage of photos of a third world creature lurking in the shadows of corrupt systems where everything has a price way beyond its worth and an industry where patronage leak kitsch and zombies are hailed as stars. xixi maturan is and never will be a star but rather a syndrome of an era of oblivious bald men paving straight paths to damnation.

THIRD WORLD LIVING ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS

Frankly , I haven't heard of her before the story conference of Howard Yambao's BEST. PARTEE. EVER, entry to last year's QC INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL starring JC De Vera. JC played a straight-acting gay man caught in nasty broil of Ecstasy addiction and trade. The film was shot almost in its entirety in the confines of provincial jail where I played a hot headed old fag jailbird. At the conference, as we were introduced, she caught my attention. Well-made up and in a cocktail dress she amiably smiled at everyone , her name: CATALEYA SURIO. As we were given a rundown of role assignments, I realized that she was playing a transwoman in for some crime and detained in the male cell. This was because in the Philippines, a sexually re-assigned is still recognized with what is on one's birth certificate. Ah, alright. "As far as I remember, I was ALWAYS a girl", Cataleya nonchalantly declares in our online interview. Orphaned at a very young ...

THIRD WORLD , A FOOTNOTE.

Poverty. Its prevalence. It , connoted to be the main word to reckon with when the label THIRD WORLD is stuck upon a country's forehead. It , without having to bat an eyelash flood our thoughts with the dire lack of material needs to feed the best of races and fly high into a plane where abundance lurks. But on a hundredth thought, Poverty may simply be a manifestation of IGNORANCE. A blatant syndrome that of which several cranial functions are left unattended to perhaps augment other mortal values of those who call the shots. If we look around and identify the essence of ignorance, we may simply be amazed with how seemingly happy they are not to know a lot things to propel progress through communal struggle. We all are ignorant at some point of our lives, but somehow experience may just play roles never imagined to exist. Asia is one continent where third worlds abound. But then, there is only history to blame. Colonizers simply did ...

Up Too Close ; Up Too Personal!

Such is in the context of poverty. Not just materially, but spiritually as well. UP TOO CLOSE : Every angle is magnified. Dissected. Trashed, bashed and promptly forgotten. UP TOO PERSONAL : Each fiber is stretched; exploited, hoarded for future misuse and left dried and with only a single [bad] breath. SUCH is the word to describe THIRD WORLD habits that define what is and what is not viable to anyone within its realm. One cannot have a choice, one must concede to the wails of hunger. If only to be part of it and then not for a price, then this pearly islands of corrupt officials and starstruck bastards would have at least some dignity to speak of and then dream about cornucopia. At 59, I have seen a lot.
