Five years in the making at mahigit isang daang milyong piso ang ginastos sa kauna-unahang full length 3D animated feature film na RPG Metanoia na kasali sa MMFF. Ang Ambient Media, Star Cinema at Thaumatrope Animation ang nag-produce nito.

Sa presscon ng movie, pinapanood sa press ang full trailer ng movie at ang 5 minutes na simula ng movie.

Kamangha-mangha ang pagkakagawa ng animation, action scenes at mga characters at lalong magiging proud ang mga Pinoy dahil kababayan nating lahat ang gumawa nito, huh!

“With RPG, we will definitely put the Philippines in the map of 3D animation!” pagmamalaki ng isa sa producers ng movie.

Sa simula, hindi talaga kami maka-identify sa movie dahil hindi nga kami mahilig sa computer games. After explaining ang ibig sabihin ng RPG na role playing game gaya ng counterstrike at iba pa, at ang metanoia ay change, aba, nagkaroon kami ng interes na panoorin ang movie, huh!

Eh, mga sikat na artista pa ang nagbigay ng boses sa ibang karakter sa RPG gaya nina Aga Muhlach, Eugene Domingo at Vhong Navarro na sinamahan ng Kapamilya child stars na sina Zaijian “Santino” Jaranilla bilang bidang si Nico/Zero, plus Mika dela Cruz, Aaron Junatas, Basty Alcanses at Jairus Aquino, kaya naman maaakit ang mga batang panoorin ang movie.

Tom Rodriguez showed his singing skills during one of the tasks in Pinoy Big Brother Double Up. Now that he is trying out his luck in showbiz, Tom got the big opportunity of being a part of the all male-singing group VoizBoys which also includes Guji Lorenzana, Nico Antonio, and Jay-R Siaboc. But there were questions on why Tom was included in the group and original member Ronnie Liang was booted out. Tom told ABS-CBN.com, “Wala naman akong naririnig na issue. I was just told na isasama ako sa group. I believe wala naman akong inaway o inagawan para lang makuha ‘yung spot sa grupo.”

The truth is Ronnie was pulled out from the group because he has an existing contract to do an album as a solo artist. As Ronnie gears up for his solo album, Tom filled in the spot for VoizBoys, which is currently recording their very first album. “I’ve met Guji, Nico, and Jay-R. We did a few rehearsals sa studio. We’re recording a new album to be out very soon. ‘Yung album halo siya ng mga original songs at revivals,” Tom shared.

The 22-year-old Waray hunk admitted that he feels intimated by the other VoizBoys members who are more experienced singers. “Ang gagaling nilang tatlo. Kinakabahan nga ako e. Pero the good thing is dahil nakikita ko ‘yung galing nila mas nai-inspire ako na galingan din. I become more driven to give my best in every performance para rin naman hindi nakakahiya and I can contribute sa success ng group.”

Aside from singing, Tom is also doing workshops in preparation for more acting offers that might come his way. He made his acting debut in Precious Hearts Romances presents My Cheating Heart and had a brief appearance as the husband of Angel Locsin in Maalaala Mo Kaya. Tom also got lucky to be a part of the cast of the comedy film Here Comes The Bride top-billed by Angelica Panganiban and Eugene Domingo. “I was very happy when they told me they want me to be a part of this movie. This will be my first movie. Kaya may halong takot kasi hindi ko alam kung magagawa ko nang mabuti ‘yung role but I’ll give it my best. I’m flattered din na maipa-partner ako kay Angelica na we all know ay napakagaling na actress.”

The original characters in “Working Girls” as acted by the original cast were made up of Carmi Martin, Gina Pareno, Maribel Lopez and Rio Locsin 25 years ago. Like the ladies of “Working Girls 2010” as played by Ruffa Gutierrez, Eugene Domingo, Cristine Reyes, Eula Valdez, Iza Calzado, Jennylyn Mercado and Bianca King, they are empowered and strong-willed. They know what they want and, more importantly, how to get it.

Ruffa plays Marilou, the beauty queen widow of a rich man forced to fight her way to find justice amid the hostile relatives of her late husband determined to cut off completely from her inheritance.


Eugene is Paula who makes a living by selling items on the Internet. She is hardworking, overly ambitious, and perennially trying to keep up with the Joneses.



Jennylyn is Ada, an illegitimate daughter who ends up being a single mother herself. She works at a call center where she meets a man who could turn her life around if not for a hitch.



Eula Valdez is the celebrity cosmetic surgeon Dr. Cleo who becomes the object of ire of feminists.



Cristine Reyes is promo girl Wendy, who will do anything to hook a celebrity lawyer.





Iza essays the character of Tere, a nurse waiting for her summons to work for a hospital in Boston but ends up taking care of the dying wife of the man who hurt her most in the past.




Bianca is the spoiled brat daughter who works as a segment producer in a TV company. She hates her stepmother so she devices ways to try and get rid of her.

GMA Films and Viva Films are ensuring that “Working Girls 2010” will live up to the tradition of its 25-year-old, critically acclaimed predecessor that many laud as iconic sexy comedy film way ahead of its time.

The sequel to the 1984 Ishmael Bernal-classic not only cast four of the original lead actresses in “Working Girls,” namely Maria Isabel Lopez, Gina Pareno, Carmi Martin and Rio Locsin; but it also gathers today’s hottest stars including Ruffa Gutierrez, Eugene Domingo, Iza Calzado, Jennylyn Mercado and Cristine Reyes.

More, “Working Girls” 2010 is being helmed by award-winning director Jose Javier Reyes (“May Minamahal,” “Batang PX,” “Kutob”). “Although some of the lead stars of the first ‘Working Girls’ are in the new movie, the focus of the story is not on them but on the younger working girls. We will be telling the stories of the new characters whose lives happen to intertwine with those from the original batch,” said Joey.

There are many tweaks on the central elements of the new film. For one, the lead characters from the first “Working Girls” were assistants (receptionist, secretary) who all worked in Ayala, Makati City while most of the new film’s working girls command huge salaries and hold top posts in such diverse industries as media, health and call center.

Joey said that huge big time gap between the two films made it necessary to opt for a sequel rather than a remake. “So much has changed since 1984 that some of the things that were shown in the original film are no longer applicable such as confettis in Ayala, etc. And we’ve had two woman presidents since. Obviously, the status of women in our society has evolved, and along with it, their stories,” said Joey.

While the two film giants that have joined hands in producing “Working Girls 2010” are eager to release their film, Joey said they are careful that every detail is worked out perfectly.

“‘Working Girls’ is a comedy, which, to some people, is a genre of lightweight caliber. But make no mistake about it: Hindi pipitsugin yung pelikulang yon at maging ang pelikula namin. Coming up with a high-quality sequel is the least we can do to honor the legacy of Ishmael Bernal. He, after all, is a National Artist of the Philippines and ‘Working Girls’ is one of his classic films. To say that expectations are high on the update is an understatement,” said Joey.

Even the actors in support roles in “Working Girls 2010” were handpicked to fit their roles perfectly. Among these are Cherie Gil, Eula Valdez and Mylene Dizon.
As with the original, “Working Girls 2010” tells the story of women who will do anything and use everything to get what they want. The cast and crew are currently wrapping up work on the highly anticipated movie that’s tentatively set for release on April 21.
