Quiapo is a district in the City of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. When I was a young fresh high school graduate and about to go to the city to enter college, my father told me that if I lost my way, I only have to look for the jeepney that has “Quiapo” on its side. He explained that all jeepneys in the city pass through Quiapo, being the center of the city. That was in the early 80’s when Manila was just a city and not yet a metro. Trip to Quiapo is a scriptwriting manual. The author, the most prolific (in my opinion) writer in Philippine showbiz industry, Ricky Lee used this title as an analogy for three kinds of writers with Quiapo as the metaphor for a good story. He explained that there are 3 types of writers: First, those writers who use the known route and go straight to Quiapo. Second, those who do not take the known route, i.e., use other roads, and probably pass by other districts, but still end up in Quiapo. Then, he saved the best for last, third, are those who don’t get to arrive in Quiapo and end up in another place but can make us believe that the place is Quiapo. That ability to make audience believe is a mark of a good scriptwriter. Very informative book. I do not have any plan of writing a movie script but I really enjoyed reading Lee’s references to the Tagalog movies I grew up watching in the 80’s and 90’s when I was still a young man. I was a movie addict when I was in college and even when I was already working in my first few companies. I only stopped seeing many movies (once or twice a week?) when I became a father since there was already Cinema One, that shows old Tagalog movies for free in the cable TV. Why pay to see the new movie at the theatre if you can wait for a couple of years, right? Marami akong napulot dito. Yong connection-disconnection. Yong plot-driven vs character-driven. Yong mga uri ng kuwento: ultra-realistic, realistic, expressionistic at surreal. What if? Giving off at giving away. Sentence outline. Foreground and background. Sequence outline. Slug line. Three-act structure. Marami rin akong alam na dahil nag-attend ako last year ng isang writing workshop. Meron din naman parang di ako naga-agree. Kungsabay, sabi ni Lee, may exceptions lagi sa rules, yong mga “ows” ni Hulyong Manunulat. Meron din parang OA. Basically, may mga OA at repetitive ang narration ni Lee para sa akin gaya ng ibang pelikula nya. O baka dapat, kung merong librong “How to Read Novels Like a Professor,” meron din dapat na “How to Watch Movies (or Tagalog Movies) like a Scriptwriter.” Bakit? Kasi sa scripts ni Lee, may ibig sabihin pala yong kagaya ng malaking bag ni Rosanna Roces sa “Curacha” na naglalaman ng maraming bagay sa buhay nya na naglalarawan ng simpleng buhay ng isang puta. Pareho rin pala ito ng see-through na bag ni Lorna Tolentino sa “Moral” na sumisimbolo sa kanyang transparent na buhay o prangkang pagkatao. Doon ko lang na-realize ang mga yon. Noong pinapanood ko sila nakatingin ako sa seksing katawan ni Rosanna Roces o sa nunal sa bibig ng batang Lorna Tolentino. Parang masarap halikan. Anong pakialam ko sa kanilang mga bags. Forty-seven na ako. Marami akong napanood ng mga Tagalog movies. Maraming nagustuhan pero ang Top 10 ko, marami ang kay Ricky Lee: 1. Oro, Plata, Mata (dahil kay Mitch Valdez) 2. Maynila: Sa Kuko ng Liwanag (dahil kay Hilda Koronel) 3. Manila By Night/City After Dark (dahil kay Alma Moreno) 4. Nunal sa Tubig (dahil kay Elizabeth “La Oro” Oropesa) 5. Salome (dahil kay Gina Alajar) 6. Tag-ulan sa Tag-araw (dahil kay Vilma Santos) 7. Nang Bumukaka ang Sampaguita (dahil kay Amy Austria) 8. Haplos (dahil kay Rio Locsin) 9. Insiang (dahil kay Hilda ulit) 10. Kimi Dora (dahil... nakakatawa!) Bukod sa 1, 4, 6 at 10 , lahat yata yan may kinalaman si Ricky Lee. Maganda rin sana ang Himala kung let’s say si Anne “My Other Woman” Curtis or Angelica “Santa-Santita” Panganiban ang bida. Sorry, Ate Guy! Seriously, I am a Ricky Lee’s fan when it comes to movies.
