DO you know that it was Gina Alajar who suggested to Direk Mel Chionglo to hire

Senator Jinggoy Estrada for the role of the radio commentator na in-assassinate, dahil sa walang humpay niyang pag-atake sa isang mataas na opisyal sa kanilang bayan sa indie movie na Bente?

Kaya, kaagad tinawagan naman ni Direk Mel si Senator Jinggoy, who immediately asked for the script. In 20 minutes, ayon kay Senator Jinggoy, natapos niyang basahin ang iskrip. At nagustuhan niya ang role. Kaagad ding ipinaalam nito kay Direk Mel.

Bente is one of six films na kasama sa Sine Direk, a joint project of Tony Tuviera's APT Entertainment and the Director's Guild of the Philippines, which has for its current President boxoffice director Tony Reyes.

"Maraming 'firsts' na magaganap sa akin sa pelikulang ito," pahayag ni Senator Jinggoy. "First independent movie ko ang Bente. First time ko ring maging director si Direk Mel Chionglo. And my first din na makasama sa movie sina Richard Gomez (who plays his assassin at Snooky Serna (na asawa naman niya).

"Excited ako, ha. "

From Senator Jinggoy, we learned that his dad, former President Joseph 'Erap' Estrada is running for President in the coming elections. At malaki ang kanyang paniniwalang muling iluluklok ng taong bayan ang kanyang ama sa Malacañang.

"He deserves to be back there," ani pa ni Senator Jinggoy. "Marami pa siyang naipangako sa taong bayan na di pa natutupad when his Presidency was cut short.

"Let us allow him na tuparin lahat ng kanyang mga naipangako. Yes, by voting for him in the 2010 elections, bilang Presidenteng muli ng ating bayan. "

He himself, he said, will run for reelection as Senator. And he, too, thinks he will win. Most everyone think he delivers.
