IS Tirso Cruz III playing a true character in the movie, Magkaibigan?

"No one in particular. Although Magkaibigan is based on the close friendship between Jinggoy (Estrada) and the late Rudy Fernandez, hindi ito buhay ni Daboy. It is about one's loyalty to a person at kung paano naging mas matatag ang kanilang samahan sa kabila ng malaking pagsubok na dumating sa kanilang buhay. It is a very inspiring movie and I am very happy I became a part of this movie. Naging close din ako kay kumpareng Daboy. "

Speaking of friendship, Tirso has remained a good friend to his former loveteam Nora Aunor. "I could ask her anything and straight to the point without fear na magagalit siya sa akin. Trust is very important to a friendship. When she tells me that everything is fine, I believe her. "

In "Magkaibigan," he plays a good friend of Jinggoy Estrada who also mourns the tragic fate which befell their friend, Atoy (played by Christopher de Leon).

Produced by Maverick Films, written and directed by Joey Reyes, "Magkaibigan" is an entry to the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival. Obviously, it is a tribute to Sen. Jinggoy's best friend, the late Rudy Fernandez.

AI AI SAYS MMFF ENTRY HAS NO GMA JOKES

WHAT if another ordinary housewife like Cory Aquino, becomes the President of the country? This is the main contention of the movie Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat starring comedy queen Ai Ai delas Alas.

Says Ai Ai: "This is a movie dedicated not only to mothers but also to children who love their mother. This is not, however, a political movie at wala kaming ini-spoof na presidente. No GMA jokes, promise. We do offer solutions sa maraming problema ng bansa at anong malay natin baka ang iba dito ay makatulong? This is one movie na pagugulungin kayo sa katatawa. Sa ayos pa lang ng aking buhok na three layers ang taas ay hihingalin na kayo sa katatawa. "
