00:00I hope you enjoyed it because we did it for the purpose of people enjoying and laughing
00:19about how broken the system is because historically laughing at something is one of the best way
00:24to critique it.
00:26I'll repeat my line for you.
00:28I'll zoom in quickly.
00:34I'll just repeat it.
00:36Pooh.
00:38Yeah.
00:42So maybe that's what he meant to me.
00:44It's like this is the movie of Balota.
00:46It's a wake up call for us
00:48that when we put our votes together,
00:50it's important.
00:52That's why Teacher Emi said,
00:54because of this, my voice is strong
00:56and it's heard.
00:58So I hope it's realized by people.
01:02I'm also thankful to GMA
01:04because even though
01:06they're a mainstream studio,
01:08they didn't show the script.
01:10They didn't show the cut.
01:12They respected the voice of the director.
01:14Even though
01:16even though
01:18this material has its advantages and risks.
01:20I love it.
01:27We desperately need
01:29festivals like Cinemalaya
01:31because our industry
01:33in a way is drowning
01:35and festivals like this
01:37are like rafts that we can hold
01:39that we can ride
01:41so we can survive.
01:43Balota, now showing!
