Sprawling through three episodes—each one a parody of pinoy film genres: the first for action, the second, horror, and the last, drama—this adaptation of the popular Bob Ong book with the same title, is actually a brilliant pursuit, but it struggles to deliver the monumental feat it seemingly promises to achieve. Much of this failure comes in the wake of uneven attention and commitment paid individually for the three parts, with the last one coming across as…

The government has been pulling out all the stops to carry out its transport modernization plan, which includes a move to phase out old jeepney units and replace them with modern ones. The reported phasing out of jeepneys fifteen years old and up did not sit well with jeepney drivers, operators, and transport groups who protested in front of the Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board all the way to the DOTC office last January week.
