The family of the slain peasant leader Ka Rene Peñas takes this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who helped and donated during Unsilent Night – our fundraising gig for his daughter’s tuition. As a barangay kagawad, his daughter’s tuition was covered by the state. When he was shot on June 5, 2009, that benefit was revoked. Though we’d love to give him justice, we’re happy with just assisting with his daugher’s tuition.

Using all means to be heard, peasant leader Rene Penas jumped into the Manila Bay while we were talking by the wall…. he jumped in so he can say his piece. Us, boring folks (me esp) just watched in awe at the tenacity of this man. We should all be so brave. Ka Rene was gunned down on the evening of the 5th of June on his way home in Sumilao. Less than a week after the CARP -Extension Law was passed in Congress. I guess some landed people wanted to remind the farmers of their power. And that is my issue. -Gang

Unedited conversation on Ka Rene Penas. Shot 8 June 2009, 2am. (Yoyong and Dodong, both of the Sumilao Farmers’ Group tell me what they remember most about their slain leader Ka Rene.)


Three days after Sumilao farmer-leader Ka Rene Penas was shot I had the opportunity to ask two of his constant companions (Yoyong and Dodong- also farmers) to tell me more about this great man. (unedited, shot June 8 2009 – 1am)

What Happens in Agusan…

Posted on 01 July 2009

Spending time in Agusan del Sur (for work) last week for about five days, I made time to check out the local sights, food, products and anything that distinguishes said town from the other places in the country. For this particular trip however, I wasn’t on my usual traveler mode and didn’t prepare a schedule [...] Continue Reading

Transforming the Transformers

Posted on 01 July 2009

Let me start by saying I’m no expert on the Transformers. As a kid growing up, because of my filmmaker father’s views on the “idiot box,” we didn’t have our own TV set at home. I used to have to go to my Lola’s house on Friday nights and weekends to get my fix of [...] Continue Reading

Erwin Romulo, Notes from the Editor

Posted on 29 June 2009

“This is a weird gathering.” That’s what Gang Badoy said upon realizing that she had Renato Reyes, Dante Lagman, Ricky Carandang, Jun Sabayton and Lourd de Veyra in her living room. This was right after RockEd Radio’s second episode at our new home in Jam88.3. The episode was typical of how Gang and Lourd has [...] Continue Reading

Top 5 music videos that can inspire, move, rethink or are just plain cool.

Posted on 29 June 2009

1. Salita by Angulo This video just looks so damn pretty. The colors and cinematography is beautiful. It’s like a wonderful photo essay. The song feels melancholy. Visually you would see a lot of dark and night shots but King did a great job to have day shots that also gave that [...] Continue Reading
