MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Metro Manila Film Festival committee has announced the first approved entry for this year’s film competition.
The film. “The Sexy Dancer and the Tranny,” stars two of the country’s bloggers, Mocha Uson and Sass Rogando Sasot. Uson has had films to her credit before but this is Sasot’s first venture into the movie world.
The film is produced by ABS-CBN’s Star Cinema, which said it will be a “hair-pulling, bathroom-inducing movie experience” that movie-goers shouldn’t miss.
”Hair-pulling” obviously refers to a past Star Cinema film, “Four Sisters and a Wedding” which featured a hair-pulling encounter between Uson and Angel Locsin.
”Bathroom-inducing” is in reference to the public toilet controversy involving transgender woman Gretchen Diez which sparked a national debate on SOGIE, the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Expression bill now in the Senate.
Sasot supports the bill but Uson says the bill needs to be looked into before being made into law, sparking heated online conversations between the two bloggers who are supposed to be good friends.
Sasot identifies as a transgender woman while Uson admits to being bisexual in the past.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It’s the ‘ber’ months — the unofficial start of the Christmas season in the Philippines — and once again, Filipino shoppers will be treated to the time-honored tradition of malls playing Jose Mari Chan’s Christmas carols.
