Piolo, Pepe, & Pia in the Wacky Love Triangle of ‘My Papa Pi’

“My Papa Pi,” the new show that will bring joy and good vibes to Filipinos, is finally airing this Saturday (March 19) featuring the “hopefuls” of Mapag-asa Street led by Piolo Pascual, Pepe Herrera, and Pia Wurtzbach.

Follow the story of twins Pipoy (Piolo) and Popoy (Pepe) and Tere (Pia), the woman that completes the love triangle starting tomorrow, 7 pm on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, Kapamilya Online Live on Facebook and YouTube, iWantTFC, and TFC.

“My name is Pipoy Papa. Kambal ko si Pepe Herrera. Meron kaming tumbungan kaming kambal tapos meron akong anak si Mikay, na mahal na mahal ko. Marami kaming pangarap sa buhay kaso sa kasamaang palad may nangyari sa kambal ko and I had to do something para matuloy ‘yung legacy namin na tumbungan,” said Piolo about his character.

In the teaser released by Star Creatives Television recently, it was revealed that Pipoy and Popoy, who are total opposites, will become one after the sudden demise of the latter. Will Tere and their neighbors at Mapag-asa Street find out about their secret?

Meanwhile, “My Papa Pi” Cathy Garcia-Molina told viewers that apart from Piolo, Pepe, and Pia, they will surely love the other characters in their sweetcom played by Joross Gamboa, Katya Santos, Hyubs Azarcon, Anthony Jennings, Daniela Stranner, Frenchie Dy, Alora Sasam, Allyson Mcbride, Anthony Andres, Quincy Villanueva, Haiza Madrid, and Madam Inutz.

“Hindi lang naman si Piolo at si Pepe at si Pia ang bida dito. But the entire community, the hopefuls. So they are as important as them. It’s going to be entertaining for all of you,” shared Direk Cathy.

Just like the people in fictional Mapag-asa Street, the cast and crew of “My Papa Pi” have bonded well after being in lock-in taping for months, wherein a set resembling a real community famous for tumbungan was built.

Before the show’s debut on Saturday, the “My Papa Pi” family, led by its stars, will watch the premiere episode together this Friday (March 18) with some physically attending while some will be in zoom. Netizens were also given a chance to watch the first episode online, 48 hours in advance yesterday (March 17) via iWantTFC.

“My Papa Pi” will air every Saturday at 7 pm starting tomorrow (March 19) on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, Kapamilya Online Live on Facebook and YouTube, iWantTFC, and TFC. Follow Star Creatives on Twitter , Facebook, and Instagram for updates.

Move on By Forgetting? Award-Winning Film ‘The Silence of Others’ Tells Why it is Not That Easy

Spain passed in 1977 an amnesty law that has come to be known as “the pact of forgetting”. It prohibits the prosecution of any crime against humanity committed during the 40-year dictatorship of General Francisco Franco for the sake of the country’s healing. But for much of the population, there is no peace in silence.

The Silence of Others

From March 25 to 27, Dokyu Power Documentary Film Festival will screen for free a film about the struggle of the victims and their families and their groundbreaking international lawsuit to fight “the pact of forgetting.”

Entitled The Silence of Others, the film is a cautionary tale about fascism and the dangers of forgetting the past. It is executive produced by Pedro Almodóvar and directed by Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar.

“We programmed this award-winning film to shed light on this ongoing legal battle and at the same time, explain why victims need justice, even decades after the crimes were committed. We also want to add to the discussion on the importance of talking about history before it leads to conflicting collective memory,” explains Kara Magsanoc Alikpala, president of the Filipino Documentary Society (FilDocs), one of the groups behind Dokyu Power.

Filmed over six-years, The Silence of Others tells the story of people like José María Galante, who lives meters away from the man who tortured him. Unknown to much of the world, in Spain today, torture victims live just blocks from their notorious police torturers who walk free everyday.

It also features the stories of families desperate to recover the bodies of their loved ones from thousands of mass graves across Spain. They are blocked by their own government from doing so. Ascensión Mendieta Ibarra, is one of them. She seeks to recover the bones of her father who died in 1939.

In addition to murders, forced disappearances and torture, babies belonging to opponents’ families were kidnapped to be given to political supporters. Tens of thousands of parents continue to search for their children who were likely stolen at birth.

The Silence of Others has won more the 40 international prizes, including the 2019 Goya for Best Feature Documentary (Spain’s Academy Award), two Emmy Awards (Emmy for Best Documentary and Outstanding Politics and Government Documentary), Peabody Award, and Panorama Audience Award and Peace Film Prize at the Berlinale (Berlin International Film Festival). It was also shortlisted for Best Feature Documentary for the 2019 Academy Awards.

Screening is for free via MOOV by Cinema Centenario. It may be accessed at cinemacentenario.com/dokyu-power.

The film festival Dokyu Power is organized together with Dakila and its Active Vista Center. It is supported by Cinema Centenario, Purin Film Fund and Rappler’s Move.Ph.

The organizers aim for the film festival to inspire Filipinos to claim their voices and vote in the Philippine national elections in May 2022 by presenting stories that show parallels of history and of people’s struggles towards empowerment. It is inspired by various people’s movements and our country’s own People Power. The festival started last February 25, during the anniversary of People Power and will end on April 9, during the country’s celebration of the Day of Valor.

A Q&A with the film directors will also be presented by the organizers on March 25, from 8 PM to 8:30 PM, on the festival’s Facebook page. The event will provide audiences with a closer look at the film and will discuss the film’s parallels to the current state of the country.

8 Video Games That Will Question Your Morality

Many of us grew up playing video games with the simplest storylines– the good guy must defeat the bad guy, like Super Mario saving Princess Peach from the evil Bowser or Link fighting against the destructive Ganon. But as time passed by, these iconic franchises and more video games have delivered intricate stories and concepts deviating from this formula. Some of these games have even further blurred the line between good and evil, forcing players to make the hard decisions that somehow, question their morality.

If you like playing this kind of games, we’ve got a list for you! Here are some video games that will pit you against hard choices, most of which will ultimately affect the outcome of your game’s story!

The Walking Dead Series

Available on PC, Android, iOS, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch

Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead series is as gripping as the TV show. While it is set during a zombie apocalypse, the selling point of the game is also its interesting story which you affect with your character’s choices. You play Lee Everett, a convicted criminal who is being taken to prison when the zombie outbreak happened. During the confusion Lee gets to escape and stumbles upon a young girl named Clementine. Lee then makes it his mission to help Clementine survive in this world plagued by the undead, but doing so will force him to make dangerous choices.

Life is Strange Series

Available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch

Life is Strange also delivers narrative adventures, this time with a supernatural spin. Each game follows individuals with superhuman abilities, but with very human and grounded stories that are also shaped by the player’s decisions. The first game follows Max and Chloe as they rewind time to determine the future of Arcadia Bay; the second game focuses on two brothers’ journey to seek safety in their father’s hometown; and the thrid game revolves around Alex Chen who must use her powers to find out the truth behind her brother’s death.

Papers, Please

Available on PC, iOS, and PS Vita

Papers, Please is an indie video game with simple but eye-catching pixel graphics, and unique gameplay that will touch your empathy, emotions, and principles. The communist state of Arstotzka has just ended a 6-year war with its neighbor state and reclaimed its rightful half of the border town, Grestin. Your job as an immigration inspector is to control the flow of immigrants entering the country, and filter out suspicious individuals who could be smugglers, spies, and terrorists. The concept may sound simple enough but its reflection of poor citizens and a corrupt government will definitely manipulate your decisions, even if you just want to do the right thing within the game.

Undertale

Available on PC, PlayStation, PS Vita, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch

Despite its retro look and simple mechanics, Undertale rose in popularity thanks to its innovative concept for a game. The game takes you to the Underworld where you must face and defeat various kinds of monsters. What makes this title different is that the player can choose to converse with the enemies instead of killing them. This adds more depth to the game and you get to know more about your foes, reminding you that there is another way than just violence.

The Last of Us Series

Available on the PlayStation

Much like The Walking Dead, this popular video game franchise follows a man and a young girl as they navigate a post-apocalyptic world. Set in the United States where a fungus has turned human hosts into hostile creatures, The Last of Us tells the story of the smuggler Joel who is tasked to escort a girl named Ellie across the ruins of the country. While the game has a linear story with no alternate outcomes, there are moments in the game that will still make you wonder if what your character does is right or wrong, considering that you’ve been thrown into a world where your chances of survival are slim.

Bioshock

Available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch

Bioshock is a popular first-person shooter game that has an interesting story concept imbued in its rich, biopunk world. The game tells the story of Jack, the sole survivor of a plane crash in the middle of Atlantic ocean. Here, he discovers an underwater world called Rapture, left in ruins after a civil war. As you play the role of Jack, you are faced with a huge moral decision involving the Little Sisters–genetically altered young girls who you might perceive as threats or mere victims in this game’s twisted world. Why this has a great bearing on the game is up to you to find out!

Fallout 4

PC, PlayStation, and Xbox

There are plenty of moral choices in each game from the Fallout franchise, but for this list, the fourth title takes the cake as it spotlights the Synths– machines embedded with human DNA. While the Institute, the creator of Synths, thinks that the creatures must only be used as tools, you as a player must wrestle with the moral dilemma of sharing that perspective or seeing the Synths as equal to humans.

The Outer Worlds

Available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch

This vibrant game, much like the Fallout franchise, is a first-person shooter with a captivating story that gives the players the ability to make choices. While The Outer Worlds mixes funny decisions to keep the atmosphere light at certain parts of the game, it does not shy away from tackling themes about greed and other social class issues, and it drags the player into these issues by putting them into fictional but grounded circumstances and letting them choose if they will play hero or choose the easier path of greed.
