BEST ASIA-PACIFIC MOVIE OF ALL TIME

With great joy and pride, I am congratulating the whole staff and cast of one of the most beautiful and unsurpassed masterpieces of the Philippine cinema – Himala (Miracle), which was from the legendary filmmaker and National Artist of Philippine Cinema, Ishmael Bernal.

Recently, the said film won and hailed as CNN APSA Viewer’s Choice Award for the Best Asia-Pacific Film of All Time. It was the right choice and that film really deserves the award because it is really timeless together with one of the brightest stars of the Philippine Movies – Ms. Nora Aunor (who played as Elsa). The cinematic quality and dimension of this film remains unbeatable.

I quoted Nora’s dialogue from the film, which is one of the best movie quotes in the Philippines:

“Walang himala! Ang himala ay nasa puso ng tao, nasa puso nating lahat. Tayo ang gumagawa ng himala. Tayo ang gumagawa ng mga sumpa at ng mga diyos. Walang himala!”

Hat down to all casts and staffs of Himala. It really deserves to be the best!
