Despite the regular crackdown on this illegal game, she continues to collect bets from her regular patrons every day.

    ang india (slumdog millionaire) slum eh yun ang tawag nila sa squatter, pero ang pelikulang yan ang nagkamit ng maraming parangal sa oscar academy, (pinakamataas at kilalang film awards) ang pgawa ng pelikula na may saysay, ang masasabing tunay na pelikula, hindi katulad ng mga panday, enteng kabisote, gagamboy na pwede mo namang gawin teleserye na lang at ang pinapahayag lang ay di mananalo kailanman ang kasamaan sa kabutihan. matagal na nating alam yon.

  27. dreau07 Aug 20th 2010

    koldex at sariya, o kahit na sino man na ang tingin dito ay katangahan, mamulat kayo, dahil ang tinitignan dito eh yung talento at pagpapahayag ng sumulat o lumikha, at hindi ito commercial film, na ipapakita lang ang kagandahan ng pinas, kung katulad nito ang masasasabing nyong nakakahiya o katangahan. eh ang amerika nagpalabas ng (the godfather) ito’y tungkol sa amerikanong-italyanong sindikato, (slumdog millionaire) ipinakita kung san sila dumudumi, nakatira at kung papano lumaki

  28. morninggirls Aug 20th 2010

  29. lzlsanatomy Aug 20th 2010

    Love this film. Probably one of my fave indie film. could use a bit of editing though and the camera makes me dizzy. but all in all i highly recommend this to film buffs everywhere.

  34. koldexx21 Aug 20th 2010

    Mahilig cla sa mga “primitives/exotics”. HANGANG ngayon pa ba naman ay hindi nyo pa rin nakukuha ito,GRABE naman ang kabobohan nyo..HINDI ka rin magtataka kung BAKIT MATAGAL ng 3rd world at basura ang bnsa nyo.Bnsa ng mga SQUATTERS,BASURA at MANGMANG namamamayan na parang IPIS kng mag-anak.Mga taong MABABAW ang standards,minsan tanong ko kung tao ba kayo???

  35. koldexx21 Aug 20th 2010

    Tama ka Lessegers..at kapag DINISKRIMINA kayong mga pilipino O ININSULTO sa mga programa sa labas ng bnsa…PALAKPAKAN nyo ang mga sarili nyo!!!!Masyado kayong mga FOOLHARDY na walang katiting ni UTAK..FOOLHARDY IDIOTS with a very narrow view.BIGAY-HILIG sa mga Pa-AWA effects at pa-SENTIMIENTO..NATATAWA lang ang mga superyor na kultura sa kababawan nyo!!ang gagaling nyo tlaga!!nkaka-bilib!!Kay lng naman napapansin iyan ay DAHIL sa mahilig ang mga “puti” sa mga 3rd world cultures..

  36. lessegers Aug 20th 2010

    GALING! italian neorealism yung influence nito. yung italian neorealism, na nagsimula pa nung 1930s sa italy, ay gumagamit kadalasan unpopular actors; at ang camera work nya ay machacharacterized ng distortions sa pagkuha ng shot para i-explore ang social realities ng mga ordinaryong tao(sa case na ito, tungkol sa reality ng isang kubrador sa particular squaters area).

  37. lessegers Aug 20th 2010

    para kay koldexx21 sariaya1 – good luck nalang sa mga buhay nyo! sana hindi kayo mapahamak, baka kasi sa mga pinagsasabi nyo makarma kayo!

  38. iLikeGoodMusak Aug 20th 2010

    Great Video. Have you guys heard of Vthov? Search “Vthov Obama Inauguration Song”. This dude surprised the hell out of me with his talent.

  39. koldexx21 Aug 20th 2010

  40. sirenagay Aug 20th 2010

    poverty is a problem in many rich countries like the US, Japan and Korea. Filipinos are still lucky even if there are many poor still many finishes college. If you are into watching news there are some clips that shows homeless people in their country like for example in denmark the police authorities demolized the illegal squatters. in germany even if the schooling is free until college many of them has not finishes college studies.

  41. koldexx21 Aug 20th 2010

    Biromo sa ibang bnsa tulad ng Malaysia,Sigapore, HngKong–BINABAWAL ang kumuha ng mga video.litrato na magbibigay ng KAHIHIYAN sa bnsa nila.Pero ang mga pinoy, dahil sa KATANGAHAN ay proud na proud,tpos kpag ginawang JOKE o INSULTO sa lbas ng bnsa, galit na galit..GRABE ang KABOBOHAN!!!

  42. koldexx21 Aug 20th 2010

  43. koldexx21 Aug 20th 2010

  44. enthusiast89 Aug 20th 2010

    actually,if you get to study film making like i do, marerealize nyo na hindi tanga ang mga Pilipinong gumagawa nito.Bakit?Dahil ang independent filmmakers ang may kakayahang ihayag ang TUNAY na kalagayan ng bansa para mismo sa Pilipinong manunuod;para gumawa ng aksyon.Iisipan pa ba muna ang turismo?aasa na lang ba tayo sa ibang tao higit sa kakayahan natin mismo?magisip isip nga tayo bago husgahan ang mga gumagawa ng pelikula na ito.May mensahe.malamang hindi niyo nakuha :) peace.

  48. koldexx21 Aug 20th 2010

    Nakakatawa kasi ang HILIG-HILIG ng mga pinoys NI-RO-ROMANTICIZE ang mga ganitong klaseng mga PAG-HIHIRAP.Kaya na nga WALANG nagbabago at nangyayari sa MATAGAL ng 3rd world na bnsa ay dahil na rin samasyadong pagka-SENTIMENTAL ng mga pilipino.HUGOT sa KATOLISISMO na “DAKILA” daw ang mga naghihirap.Ang katotohana ay DAGSA sa KAMANGMANGAN at GOBYERO NG WALANG bayag gawin ang mga BATAS..

  49. koldexx21 Aug 20th 2010

    Nakakatawa tlga kayong mga Pinoys,esp. mga producers.ang HIHILIG gumagawa ng mga ganitong klase ng pelikula.ALAM NA NG BUONG MUNDO NA 3RD WORLD ANG BNSA NYO!!Ang hilig nyo pang I-PAMUKHA.Tpos nagtataka kayo kung bkit ang BABAW ng tingin ng mundo sa inyo.Tapos kapag ININSULTO o DINISKRIMINA sa labas ng bnsa, galit na galit kyo..Ang GALING NYO TALAGA!!!

  50. kimjks2008 Aug 20th 2010

    I think you are calling yourself BOBO. Ikaw yun eh, you are calling producers of this one-of-a-kind and exceptional movie BOBO. You don;t know the value of being a Filipino. Again, it shows how the simple Filipinos live and not how we, Filipinos, perish as one of the 3rd world countries. And one more thing, movies of this kind are great works which should be preserved. Maraming values ang makukuha mo dito.

    Go and watch foreign movies, after all, ikaw din ang nag papababa sa pinas…:)
