While some of the nominees this year are eyebrow-raisers (Guess which ones?!) and through the years, FAMAS's reputation had been tarnished by different scandals, a FAMAS nomination or award is still being held in high regards! Ika nga, FAMAS pa rin 'yun! The very first film award-giving body here in the Philippines!

One group, though, that I know truly deserved the nominations is that of Direk Ellen and her Erasto Productions. I salute them for the nominations! I know that Direk Ellen is very proud of her work since this is her baby. From its inception down to the post-theater run selling, pinaghirapan nila ng husto ito. In a way, naging nanny rin ako ng baby na 'to since I took care of it for some time while the production is planning for its "re-introduction" to the masses. I'm hoping that the jurors (in any award-winning body) would give it a fair chance in winning against the films produced by major studios.

Teka, nasaan si Maximo?!
