Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank Commercial Premiere

The premiere for the commercial run of the movie “Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank” was held last 02 August 2011 at Cinema 1 of Gateway Mall. Thanks to our friend Francis Simeon, showbiz insider and publicist to the stars, we secured our invites to the event. I already missed previous chances to watch this movie – at CCP and UPFI Film Center; so I couldn’t resist this offer from Francis.

“Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank” is a comedy about the journey of three young filmmakers towards making their dream movie. It stars Eugene Domingo, JM de Guzman, Kean Cipriano, Cai Cortez, Mercedes Cabral, and Cherry Pie Picache; directed by Marlon Rivera and written by Chris Martinez.

“Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank” was a crowd favorite during the 7th Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival. It swept most of the major recognitions during the awards ceremony including:

Audience Choice (New Breed Full-Length Category) – Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank

Best Film (New Breed Full-Length Category) – Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank

Best Director (New Breed Full-Length Category) – Marlon Rivera

Best Actress (New Breed Full-Length Category) – Eugene Domingo

Best Screenplay (New Breed Full-Length Category) – Chris Martinez

The screenings for “Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank” at UPFI Film Center were sold out within minutes.

The premiere at Gateway Cineplex 10 was star-studded. Celebrities like Sam Milby, Toni Gonzaga, Richard Poon, Tom Rodriguez, and Sebastian Castro were spotted. The cast and production team also graced the affair.

Except for some minor technical problems, the event was a success. “Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank” was entertaining from start to finish. There were several brilliant scenes that made me laugh so hard, including the one with “TV Patrol acting.” This is definitely Eugene Domingo’s best performance to date.

The commercial release of “Ang Bababe Sa Septic Tank” was made possible through Star Cinema.
