A Day in Mowelfund Museum
Hello to my dear readers! I am so back. After about two weeks hiatus here I am sharing to our the things that I'm learning from our cinema class. How are you then? Today I am giving a photo blog! For the first time I wouldn't have a hard time looking for the right citation because I took the pi urges by myself! Hope you would enjoy this post and feel free to tell your comments on how can I better improve in writing and taking pictures.

I arrive just in time. I was running late and still clueless how to get there I use my Dora the explorer technique and ask people for diretions. Just a short tricycle ride or short walk (if already familiar with the route) from lrt betty go belmonte station, I arrive there with welcoming guards and minutes before the tour starts. Fortunately the Mowelfund President and respected actress Ms.Boots Anson Roa. She shares the perks of being the one in front of the camera and how people behind the camera would do mostly the hard work can get small and fast credits at the end of every movie.
Good things - we have our professor with us and unlike other museums we are allowed to use camera with flash! The place is a bit dark, although some pictures end up to be not that good still flash is very helpful. :) My weirdness comes as we start the tour, I enjoyed the time taking photographs and appreciate the pictures. I actually waited my batch mates be gone and be the last (although I get scared sometimes haha!). To my dear non-Filipino readers I hope you too would enjoy things about our history. Disclaimer: These are the things I knew and humbly admit that I only have a few knowledge about this. If you want to learn about the Philippine Cinema and deeper knowledge about films I recommend you to visit

The Spanish Past in Philippine Cinema
 |
| Spanish Era of the Philippine Cinema |
I enjoyed taking pictures but didn't have the time and mood to read stuff. That is why if you're really interested I would recommend you to go and visit Mowelfund Museum. :) In the picture above is the Spanish Era. I learned from my professor that the 'Filipinos' before are not the real 'Filipinos' by blood. They are the Spaniards who are living in the Philippines. And the 'Filipinos' by blood are called 'indios'. During the revolutions of our heroes like Rizal and Bonifacio to gain freedom after 300 years of being conqured the 'Filipinos' or the Spaniards living in the Philippines at that time were enjoying the first films like 'The boxer' and 'A man in a hat'. (Note: those are the english translation of the movie names)

Japanese Era in the Philippine Cinema

| Japanese Era |
During the three years invasion of the Japanese in the Philippines is under a puppet republic. By puppet means President Jose P. Laurel is just a 'front' but the reality the Japanese are the ones who are controlling the government. Our professor made us analyze this during the discussion.
