00:06Good evening, everyone. Again, thank you for your gift of presence.
00:12Maraming maraming salamat sa Travert here.
00:15I mean, if si Groong na-organized, it was a bit more than a bit.
00:19I know with Ms. Yoda, kaso nakabalik na siya sa L.A.
00:23Pero kasama ka naman dito yung ina sa mga matatapang na babae na bahagi ng Pelican Project to call it
00:30to the stage, please.
00:33Ang gumanap ng role ni Sete, si Joribel Agoto.
00:46Ang gumanap ng role ni Rita, si Barbara Miguel.
00:55Ang gumanap ng role ni Sete, hindi po nalang siya 13 years ago.
01:00Si Agnes.
01:08So nung ginawa po namin to, yung idea for Sisa, the premise for this,
01:16sinumala ko itong mga 13 years ago, when I was making a movie called Barber's Tales,
01:22na tungkol din sa women empowerment, women coming together.
01:26And I didn't have the opportunity to make that film until we found the perfect movie actress to play the
01:34lead.
01:34Lumating sa buhay namin si Ms. Yoda Coronel.
01:38At kaya siya nagawa.
01:41And when I talked to Travertine about the possibility of having black screening,
01:45we talked about it.
01:46I feel that this is a perfect partnership
01:49because of what Travertine stands for and what the movie stands for.
01:54The movie is about those women who,
01:59they remain in the footnotes of history.
02:01When we make historical films,
02:03it's very patriarchal, mga lalaki,
02:06pero may mahalagang yung kinukwana ng mga babae sa history,
02:10and I wanted to punctuate that,
02:12and I wanted to use that.
02:15Sisa carries so much of history, of oppression, etc.
02:21And, you know, we're Travertine.
02:24We also carry invisible means.
02:26And that's also why I feel that this is a very important spark issue.
02:32So thank you so much for welcoming us here and for the support.
02:36You're not just supporting Sisa.
02:38You are supporting Philippine cinema.
