Nangako na palaging handa na tumulong… BELA, dumalo sa hearing para suportahan ang panukalang batas para sa local films

DUMALO si Bela Padilla sa House of Representatives’ committee on creative industries hearing, para suportahan ang panukalang batas na naglalayong palakasin ang lokal na pelikula sa pamamagitan ng Philippine Film Commission.

At sa kanyang Instagram post, sinabi ni Bela na…

“I was only able to stay for everybody’s opening statements but I actually had answers for the ten questions I was sent beforehand, when asked for suggestions to help fix problems that I see as a filmmaker today.

“The reaction was always the same. They’re amazed at our output when our budgets are so low.”

Dagdag pa ng aktres, “Honestly, I always get sad when I hear a Filipino put down a local film or review a local film harshly and compare our work to an international project that has a budget we can only dream of, because I see foreigners appreciate our work more than we do.”

“And sadly, that lack of patriotism or pride in our work is apparent not only in the film industry but in every sector,” saad niya pa.

May nakita namang oportunidad si Bela na makatulong sa industriya sa pamamagitan ng mga ideya ni Negros Occidental Rep. Javi Benitez, chairman ng House Special Committee on Creative Industries.

“I was pleasantly surprised to see the other day that the bill covers so much of what needs to be addressed like fair equity for creatives and producers,” pahayag pa ng aktres.

Ipinangako naman ni Bela na palagi siyang susuporta sa film industry.

“I wish I got to stay longer but I had to go back to set. But I obviously will always be here to help the industry I love most in any way I can.

Dagdag pa niya, “What I clearly saw the other day is that one truly doesn’t need to be elected to help. And that there are people elected who still care.”

“We have a long way to go. But this bill, if passed and done correctly, will get us closer.” (ROHN ROMULO)
