DAET, CamNorte: The
municipal government here expressed support to the filming in this capital town
of the Sine Panitik project of the Film Academy of the Philippines this coming
March 25-31.
Mayor Tito Sarion of this
town said that Leo Martinez, director general of the Film Academy of the
Philippines, has assured him that the latter will emphasize the cooperation and
support of the local government of Daet in their programs in the promotion and
exhibition of the films in cinemas nationwide as well as the specialized
bookings for showing in campuses.
Sarion said that the Sine
Panitik project is a film anthology of classic Filipino short stories whose
initial trilogy will be shot in Daet.
He said that the filming of
the two short stories entitled Faith, Love, Time and Dr Lazaro by Gregorio
Brillantes and Sandaang Damit by Fanny Garcia are included in the curriculum of
schools throughout the country.
He said that the production
people of the Film Academy have already conducted location hunting and
pre-production work last Feb. 16-18.
The collaboration will once
again boost the tourism opportunities for Daet, he said.
It will be recalled that the
first and several shootings scene of the ABS-CBN primetime teleserye “The Legal
Wife” of Angel Locsin, Jericho Rosales, and Maja Salvador was taken in Daet and
nearby towns of the province of CamNorte.
Meanwhile, the mayor added
that along with tourism development, the local government will also host the
2nd Daet Aerosports this coming March wherein several beach events like
surfing, para-gliding, among others will be joined by the local as well as
international enthusiasts. -- PIA5-CamNorte
