Em là tất cả- You To Me Are Everything
Thanks to this blog we can see Filipino artists are really making it big outside. Even without the support of the government they are being lauded everywhere. Dongyan in Vietnam, Teejay in Indonesia, Enrique Gil in Kazakhstan, Jadine in the pirate circuits. We don't have the publicity machine but through sheer talent and good looks we have the stronger appeal in surprisingly many parts of the world. We even win the awards like the Berlinale. Now if only the authorities in the local entertainment scene get their act together & form a more cohesive promotion program in partnership with the government to push the Filipino international footprint into a higher level
