The Tribeca Film Festival was started in 2002 by Robert De Niro in an effort to revive lower Manhattan after the attacks of 9/11. Since that time the festival has showcased hundreds of movies by talented producers from around the world.
This year the festival is showing Nagpapanggap, a 20 minute short directed by Debbie Formoso. The movie was shot in Quezon City and is making its’ premiere at the festival.
Nagpapanggap“Pretend”
Lourdes is a teacher, a mother and a wife. Always placing others first, she is determined to help the women around her. But faced with the possibility of her husband’s infidelity, can she find the strength to help herself? Set against the backdrop of 1960s Philippines, Nagpapanggap portrays a woman’s struggle with social mores and the compromises she must make to salvage her ethics and her own sense of worth.
The movie is in Tagalog and lucky for me has subtitles. If you live in New York there is one showing left on May 6th at 4:00pm. Hope to see you there! Aryty?
Way to go Debbie. Napakagaling mo!

I love to mix it up a bit with Tagalog or Taglish phrases and words. Lately I’ve been getting emails asking if I’m Filipino or even better emails which are written only in Tagalog! So I thought I’d set the record straight and let you know “Hindi po ako Pilipino!”
Here’s my language trick for those of you that might not speak Tagalog but would like to learn some conversational phrases.
My cheat sheet 
You won’t find any J-lo inside but will learn some great practical phrases especially if you have a Filipina girlfriend that you want to chat with. So next time you’re sending an eload to your loved one in the Philippines make sure to let them know “Miss Kita” too!
Ingatz~
