Thanks
to the Video 48 site, I stumbled on
this.
I
think this is the Coach Carter of Philippine Cinema *cough* *sarcasm* *cough*. This is an epic
struggle that starts out with a rags to
riches tale, and then a Samson and
Delilah angle, which ends up to an epic battle of good and evil.
Funny
how people diss me whenever I say this is an art movie.
*cough* *sarcasm* *cough*

This
art film stars basketball greats Alvin
Patrimonio, Jerry Codinera, and Bong Alvarez. The story is all about three
country boys who has the height but doesn’t have the talent. They got hired to
be custodians at a college with a bumbling basketball program. Because of their
good heart, a magical midget who turns into a ball (this is the launching movie
vehicle of Mahal) gave them the
abilities to become awesome basketball players.
The
movie also starred comedy legends Roderick
Paulete and Rene Requiestas, screen darlings Ruffa Gutierrez, Carmina Villarroel, and Aiko Melendez, then-teen
stars Aljon Jimenez, Jeffrey Santos, and
Zoren Legaspi, and established actresses like Janice de Belen, Maricel Laxa, and Alice Dixson. Benjie Paras, a
former 2-time PBA MVP and a current
comedian, debuted in this movie as a full-haired slamming priest.
I
think the movie grossed well and because of its success, Regal Entertainment gave a go-signal for the film to become a TV
series.
I
wonder if I can score and download this movie online.
Game
over.
