    1. What is so wrong about setting proper work hours, employee rest areas and health workers/first aid responders?! Di ba mas may lakas at bibo ang mga tao pag nakatulog sila ng maayos at nagspend ng time woth families and friends?

      No Direk, the old ways of exploiting people for the sake of art is over. Look at the best artists elsewhere and you'll realize that they also set boundaries. Eminem is famous for treating his recording sessions as a 9-5 job. Kaia Gerber can only model until 11pm. Get on with the new world order.

      Creativity grows in a safe, trusting and fair environment.

    2. Parang may threat pa sia. Paano kaya kapag mabaliktad sia. Na actors start to reject projects if sia ang director.

      Sa buhay pagtratrabaho ke 9-5 or hindi, basta magaling ka makisama makakahiling ka ng konting pabor basta hindi ka abusado.

  2. Lol as if naman maibabalik niyo ang mga tao sa sinehan tas ganyan pa attitude mo. Kahit nga MMFF hindi rin kumita last year. Naabot ang quota, yes. Pero dahil sa 1 film lang yon.

    2. Eddie "Manoy" Garcia Law

    3. Yung law named after one of their own, Eddie Garcia no less, to protect artistas and people in the showbiz industry. But look, may mga tao sa prod mismo may ayaw. Kinain na ng sistema, mga mahina naman ang organization skills.

      Magsama sila ni Doctolero, heartless exploiters!

  5. Wala na yang ganyan. Kahit sa mga tindahan at bakery yung nga empleyado 8-9 hours na lang nagwowork, wala na pumapayag na 1 to sawa ang shift ngayon. Ang dapat nirereklamo niya is yung producers and coordinators na hindi kaya mag schedule ng maayos para sabay sabay dumating mga artista nila sa oras na kelangan, pati mga directors na mabagal mag pack up ng shooting at artista na hindi magaling umarte kaya paulit ulit ang shoot..

    1. They need jobs,ang umaayaw lang yung can afford not to work late

    2. 4:48 Even if some people are willing, that doesn't make it right. Kailangang baguhin na ang lumang sistema, whether we like it or not. Even Japanese people, who are known to work long hours, are slowly changing that work style. Work-life balance.

    3. 4:48 Yeah mga big stars mga may name na panghatak ng movies at shows so sino manunuod kung wala yan

  8. So ang gusto ni direk, tulad ng dati? Patayan sa set ang staff and crew? Lagari hanggang matapos ang pelikula sa ngalan ng sining at craft? To meet your demands?

    I remember nung nagkorea si melay, puring puri nia ung bilis magtrabaho ng mga korean staff, at kapag cut off na, cut off na. Wrap up na for the day kesyo may di natapos or what. To think na magaganda produkto nila khit limitado ang oras sa taping/shooting day.

    Wag imask sa "sining" ang paggugol sa oras sa shoot. Hindi dpt nakakamatay ang sining. Hindi siya dapat mafeel na warzone.

    1. 1239 Sa Korea, very organize ang production! Bago mag umpisa ang shoot, nabigay na sa mga artista ang mga gagawin nila the same with production staff na alam na lahat ang gagawin. Well coordinated. Sa Pinas, mismo sa set palang mag memorize ng lines ang mga artista. Tapos minsan on the spot dun pa lang magsusulat ng dialogue ang writers. Dagdagan mo pa ng mga pasaway na artista & inefficient production staff!

    2. Lol true sa PH kasi on the day ng shoot dun pa lang nagbrainstorming kaya matagal inaabot ng madaling araw, pati script on the spot, kaya cringe din ng dialogues… may showing date na in-announce na, tapos nagshoshoot pa, kamusta naman editing at cinematography neto.

  9. It all boils down to humane treatment, and lawful working conditions. It is ironic that some anti-EGL people want changes in the government or society, but are hesitant to comply with the EGL that aims to improve the industry.

  10. Baket parang walang nakaintindi kay Direk? Hahaha

  11. Nakalimutan nya ba nung covid? Na realize ng marami na there's more to life than work. Mas pinahahalagahan na ng mga tao ngayon ang oras with Family and ang self care. Directors like this maybe need to change and REORGANIZE. Even with such passion for the arts, maging maka tao.

  12. Why is making films like going to war?! Anong drama naman yan? Hindi kailangan maging parang giyera ang paggawa ng sining LOL halata kung sino ang toxic magtrabaho na itatago sa ngalan ng "art". Sabihin mo na lang na di ka magaling magplano.

  13. Need direck to be organized and disciplined. Hinde po lahat that works in films are as passionate as you they believe in life work balance

    1. Pwede ka naman maging passionate na may finafallow pa din na cut off time.. sana tamang pag schedule, galing, at professionalism na lang talaga yang ng mga tao..

  14. To all the commenters here, basa ng maayos, hindi niya sinabing to violate the EGL, yan yung basis ng work nila, but maging efficient dapat within those limit. Hindi yung papasok ka lang para mag sahod

  15. Gusto kasi nila na shooting today, ere bukas. Kaya pangit ang kinakalabasan lalo na sa mga ending ng teleserye.

  16. magsama po kayo ni S.Doctolero

  17. Diba dahil sa EGL kaya may mga green screen scenes yung few teleseryes ng ABS-CBN and GMA recently.

    1. Mukha nga. Magastos maglocation shooting lalo na kung malayo ang lugar. Kinakain ng travel time ang max number of hours to shoot. Magastos magbook ng place to stay. Kaya they end up finding a place nearby to shoot (kahit di gaanong angkop sa scene) or resort to green screen na lang.

  18. In any organisation, if you have the right talent, management and organisational skills, and professionalism, you can deliver a quality product. Maybe, people in the entertainment industry need to up-skill to better implement EGL, and that includes even acting workshops. To be frank, I watched high-grossed, highly recommended, and award winning films and most of the time, I end up disappointed. People here who have been watching K-dramas will understand why they are a hit. People in PH entertainment industry can learn a thing or two from them.
