Filipinos are moviegoers. Perhaps because of the comic relief that comedy films promise, or the
fairytale ending, we all want to have that the rom-coms provide, we indulge in the
cinematography of moving pictures. In the 1984 Guinness Book of World Records, the
Philippines was listed as the nation with the world’s most avid film- going public, averaging 19
trips to the cinema per year, per person (Yeatter, 2007). In a more recent statistic, the country
has also been known to have the highest level of theatre admission in South- East Asia, with 63
million moviegoers in 2004 (Phil. Indie films”, n.d.). more often than not, movie theatres all
over the Metro are filled with people who want to break out from their usual working routine to
catch a two- hour movie with friends. Oddly enough, however, we as constant consumers of
these motion pictures tend to patronize those that are made particularly international.
