A good movie, even if it didn't do well in the box-office simply because a big movie outfit got the same playdate for its own mushy one, will always be remembered and continually get attention.Judy Ann Santos's Ploning is now the official entry of the Philippines to the 2009 Oscars.
It is indeed a happy moment for the people behind Ploning. For one, the movie's producer Jourdan Sebastian wrote in his blog: Today I just found out that Ploning is the official Philippine Entry to the 2009 Academy Awards. Am I saying we are going to get nominated to the most prestigious film award giving body in the world? Nope, I'm saying we are going to win Best Foreign Film!!! Yahoo!!! Libre mangarap at maniwala!!!
The committee (headed by Eddie Romero) tasked to select the country's entry only had six titles to choose from, five of which are indie films (Tribu, Pisay, Endo, Serbis and Ploning). Sharon Cuneta's Caregiver completed the list. The committee battled between Ploning and Caregiver, but eventually favored the Judy Ann Santos starrer.
