Masayang nag-text si Albert Martinez para ibalitang graded A ng CEB o Cinema Evaluation Board ang Rosario, ang unang pelikulang dinirehe niya at entry sa Metro Manila Film Festival.
“PG 13” o “Parental Guidance” without cuts naman ang classification nito sa MTRCB (Movie Television Review and Classification Board), kaya hindi lang si Albert ang masaya, kundi ang buong Team Rosario.
Sa “A” grade at “PG-13” without cuts classification ng pelikula, magbago sana ang desisyon ni Albert na matagal pa bago siya magdirek uli ng pelikula. Curious ang tao sa susunod niyang project.
Siguradong tuwang-tuwa ang buong cast ng Rosario, sa pangunguna nina Jennylyn Mercado, Yul Servo, Sid Lucero at Dennis Trillo, sa magandang balitang ito at dapat lang na ma-promote nang husto ang pelikula.
Samantala, pinaaabangan ni Albert ang float ng movie sa Parade of Stars sa December 24.
“You should see it, it will set the trend next year. Magugulat na lang ang mga tao, ayaw kong sabihin kung magkano ang budget ng Cinemabuhay at Studio 5 para roon.”

Two films directed by internationally acclaimed Filipino directors Jeffrey Jeturian and Brillante Mendoza for ABS-CBN's short film project, AmBisyon, were rated X on Thursday (March 25) by the Movie & Television Review & Classification Board (MTRCB).
Jeturian’s film “Ganito tayo ngayon, Paano na tayo bukas?” focused on the state of the economy. His camera follows a newspaper from the time it is delivered to a homeowner to when it is used to wipe feces from a foot of a cart-pushing vendor.
Jeturian uses a newspaper printed with the same controversial advertisement that came out in early January trumpeting the Arroyo administration’s economic successes. The film ends with President Arroyo’s photo on the crumpled newspaper.
The MTRCB said the film was X-rated for “undermining the faith and confidence of the people in government.”
Film on poverty 'injurious' to RP prestige?
Mendoza’s film, “Ayos Ka,” is a music video whose hopeful soundtrack is a stark contrast against images of poverty, prostitution, drugs and murder.
The MTRCB claimed Mendoza’s film is “injurious to the prestige of the Republic of the Philippines and its people."
ANC, ABS-CBN's 24-hour news channel, produced the AmBisyon 2010 film series in the name of public interest. It sought to "offer a nation on the verge of a critical election the chance to focus on issues, not personalities."
AmBisyon's goals were shared by the film industry. Twenty big names in Philippine cinema thus offered their talents to each create a short film on a chosen issue.
The films are scheduled to screen at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) in Pasay City on April 6, and in a 5-episode weekly series over ANC and Studio 23 beginning April 9.
ANC to appeal ruling
In a statement, Maria Ressa, head of ABS-CBN's News and Current Affairs and managing director of ANC, and Glenda Gloria, chief operating officer of ANC, said they will appeal the ruling.
"We in ANC respect due process, and will be requesting a second review on Monday. We hope the MTRCB will reconsider," the ANC executives said.
"We support our filmmakers in their decision not to revise their films. While the views of the 20 AmBisyon filmmakers may not necessarily reflect ANC's, we believe that these films are legitimate perspectives of the state of the nation," they added.
"We trust in the public’s capacity to decide whether they will claim these views as their own."
