Episode 9: Found
By Coy on Jun 12, 2007 in Short Film, Events, Senti, Season 1
We had it since we were born.It’s been with our heritage for generations. It runs with the blood in our veins.
Yet nowadays, due to dirty politics, corruption, poverty and life’s daily stresses, we often forget who we are.
Being a Filipino. Embrace it. Be proud of it.

Coming Soon



so naamaze na naman ako. everytime i watch your vids, you always give us something new. but there is one thing that is always present on your vids. you always try to show up how a Filipino value something. May it be family, place, org, and this time an event for every Filipino. Happy Independence day. XD
aaargh. you made me cry with this, kahit na walang dialogue. you better become a filmmaker, man. anything else would be beneath you.
waw that was good…
artsy nga…
meron pang underwear shot nyahahahaha…
happy independece nga pala! di ko naalala…
nice blog you have here
Another great video, bro. Lumang-luma talaga ang song selected for the ending part of the clip… Pang-traditional Noypi! Haha. Hanep talaga. Ang gaganda ng mga vlog posts mo!
Happy Independence Day, by the way.
Ang gulo na ng bahay nyo niyan! Hehe. Familiar ang winding stairs. =P
You just took vlogging to the next level ha. I’m keeping up with you. Nice build-up, great climax. Parang sex eh no?
sa wakas, google video ang post mo!
Nakakaiyak naman. Kami walang Philippine Flag sa bahay. huhu…
Happy Independence Day!
akala ko boxer shorts ang hinahanap at iwawagayway mo pa sa bubong niyo!
but anyway, good short movie.
Happy Independence Day!
I just hope we are truly free.
Ganda! buti na lang at maraming nagmamahal sa Pilipinas :p
nice one. kaka-touch.
good one. deep pero hindi overwhelming. it allows your viewers to have their own interpretation.
interpretation ko? kailangan ng pinturahan ng bubong
jowk.
astig
waw that was great coy! simple yet deep!
sana madami humalintulad sayong pinoy coy!
happy independence day!
bat mo naman binilad sa bubong ang bandila, pwede mo naaman isampay sa sampayan…. hihi
pak! mali pa ang nailagay kong pangalan!
wow. syempre tulad ng iba.. amazed din. i love the simple yet unique concept of your video!
happy independence.
if that’s your room, two thumbs up. parehas pala tayong magulo ang kwarto [don’t tell me GINULO mo lang yung kwarto mo for the film!?!?! mapapahiya ako nito for assuming.. ahhaa]
anyway.
it’s a short film itself. i don’t think people really need a certain span of time to dig and interpret this movie.
right now, we just need to find our identity among things that hinder us from forgetting our love for our country.
kadalasan kasi sa mga pinoy nowadays (i admit that i’m one of them, hahah!), kulang sa halukay at halungkat ang pagkatao. we don’t see the “filipino” spirit inside ourselves.
^_^ kung apat lang kamay ko, i’d make this video a four-thumbs up.
before i forget, natawa ako sa font ng sentences nung ending. parang.. pang-gate. =))
wala lang.
Happy Independence day to you too.
My family used to hang a flag just as big as yours, but when we moved, I don’t know what happened to it. No one bothered to look for it since most of the adults then were to busy with life. Maybe, just like what you did, I should find our flag.
YOU ARE A CRIMINAL!!!
*GASP*
Thank you for all the response! It was the morning of June 11 when I stumbled upon the concept. And I knew I just had to do it. I shot this in 20 mins. Nagmamadali kasi at may lakad pa. Hehe.
@aaron
Thank you Aaron. I try to experiment on things so I can offer something new in the vids.
I’m joyful that you saw value on things I show here.
Thanks again.
@gibbs
Wow. Thanks Gibbs.
Ang daming issues na pinagkakaguluhan dito sa Pilipinas, which are usually senseless and insignificant. The real essence of being Filipino is not there anymore. Or maybe it’s just in a deep slumber and needs a wake-up call.
@kiro
Haha! I was hoping someone would notice that small piece of humor I put in there. You spotted it Ron! Hehe.
@jepoy
Thanks! Keep watching.
hey coy. may free electives ba kayo? why don’t you take some in mass comm. you might enjoy production classes
APPLAUSE!!! ASTIG!!!
what’s the relevance of putting the flag sa bubong? aber? until now, my right eyebrow is still raised. ano ba yun? i dig the concept of “looking for it” but tell me why not wagayway the watawat? why allow the flag to be desecrated? it should be on a pole, that’s why it’s called flagpole. what the heck?
…pinoys and that thing called “pseudo-independence.”
yon lang. babuh!
wink.
wink.
cool. pero bakit nakalapag sa bubong?
anyway, i dig your room too. Messy! at nakita ko ang tanke ng gardenia, haha. ayos!
@ian
thanks!
that’s actually a Freddie Aguilar song.. “Bayan Ko” intro.
Natuwa rin ako nung narinig ko. Hehehe.
@xpal & adrian
thanks! glad you guys liked it.
hoy gago, bakit mo dinelete comment ko? pwe, pangit videos mo. PTI ka
waaaaaaaaa kaya pala the comments here are favorable kase naman dinidelete mo pag negative. be a man, asshole.
hi coy, finally may nakita na akong video mo. hehe.
anyway, nice presentation. simple yet effective and can be interpreted in different ways. hehe.
teka, bakit di nakawagayway ang flag? hala.
hi coy! musta ka na!? Another great video, you never fail! hahaha..i love the underwear shots! hahahaha!
Masayang Araw ng Kalayaan!
@poyt
Narenovate na yung bahay namin pero ginugulo ko parin. Haha!
sa sex talaga ang analogy. haha! once i think of a concept, ginagawa ko agad… di ko kasi sinusulat so mejo biglaan talaga tong video. magulo nga lang ako as cameraman. hehe. im waiting for your new vid!
@renz
para talaga yan sa inyong nasa Office, school at Thailand (na banned and Youtube). haha.
PEro baka lumipat akong photobucket. gagaya ako kay Joe.
@alan
May 2 underwear exposures sa vid! HEhe. ngayon ko lang napansin.
I think we’re not truly free. Not yet by the way.
pero sa totoo lang, nakakaiyak ito. depressing. depressing na hindi mo maintindihan eksakto kung ano nga ba yong stinging feeling sa loob mo. alam mo yong….kurot?
It’s coy’s blog and he can decide which comments to delete and which comments to approve.
That being said, I’m not a big fan of the movie. :p
haha ang daming boxer shorts dun ah rofl. haha akala ko kung ano un +_+; nice vid~ Happy Independence (although late na) xD
@paolo
yes paolo, it’s up to the viewers how they interpret the video. It’s not just about independence perse for me.
At oo. Kailangan na ng pintura! Haha! And kelangan nang linisin at naging outside bodega na sya. LOL.
@jed and cars
thanks! glad u liked it.
@heneroso
actually, dapat talaga hinang ko or something. sorry talaga. I was time pressured and lacked resources.
@kevin
uh yes. that’s my room. hehe. and talagang magulo na siya. pareho nga tayo. but no, i dont throw my boxers around like that. haha. that was “acting”.
spot on on the interpretation moses! exactly the thought I started with.
you get a 6 thumbs up from me. (paramihan ng thumb? haha!)
@jigs
Exactly. We should find our flag.
It’s just sad that most of us only become “Filipinos” during national holidays. And oh, don’t get me started with those politicians.
Just want to make it clear guys that I did not remove any comments. It’s all in there. Just look for it.
I’m trying to respond to each comment. Maybe I’ll finish up later this day before the meet-up. Kailanagn ko munang pumasok. Hehe.
TGIF!
may nangaaway!insecure lang siguro sa talent mo coy.hehe.
iba ibang interpretation lang yan, mga tsong.You might get it, not get it, or have an entirely different interpretation. There’s nothing wrong to speak out, just don’t be rude.
Hemingways, wala na akong ibang masabi.hihi.
@bikoy
Hi Bikoy, welcome to the site!
We do have free electives but I’m not sure if I’ve exhausted them all. I’m interested though to take-up masscom courses next sem just for the heck of it. Bahala na kung sumobra ako sa units. Hehe.
Thanks for dropping by. See you around!
@louis
pareng louis, salamat!
@bakla sa banga
So true. But that shouldn’t stop us from being Filipino and doing good deeds for our country. Guilty rin ako sa pagkalimot.
trip ka ng hater mo coy. hahaha.
good luck!
LOL! Sabi ko na nga ba underwear yung nakita ko eh! Haha!!! Am good!
Harsh! My hater above, why not just block him haha!!!
Anyway nice video (again) palage kasing maganda yng video eh. Keep it Up!!
OMG! Tama ba na nakita ko ang boxers mo?! Haha! Joke.
That was pretty good ah. Ang galing ng concept mo, action speaks louder than words. Nasiyahan ako sa mga curses mo dahil hindi mo mahanap yung flag, natural na natural. Hehe!
Yun nga lang, bakit nakalatag?
Aysus ginoo. Nabatukan mo ako sa videong iyon. We’re forgetting about it… and that was like, uhh…
But you know what? I really forgot about the independence day because of the mere fact that it is really NOT our independence day. Aguinaldo’s a big dungmount screw up. The hell with him. Hahahaha.
—–
AStig na short yun ah.
*lol*
=)
good work!
@sam
miss u already! musta california? Buti naman nagustuhan mo yung vid.
@bakla sa banga
well, the country’s situation is really depressing. or baka may problema ka lang. hehe. thanks for your insights.
@zyg
umulan nga ng underwear. scary ba? hehe.
@euri and sejal
thanks!
keep watching!
hi again coy, balik ako uli sa video na to, any symbolism behind sa pagkalatag ng flag?
in fairness di ko kaa magkalkal at maghakungkat ng gamit using one hand habang ang isa ay may hawak na cam hehe.. enwei serious na..
nice symbolism of how we Filipinos forget who we really are.. ^^, nice vid coy you’ve inspired me.. ^^.
@joe
Haha! talagang familiar yung tangke sayo ah! Messy talaga room ko. Kailangan ko na talagang ayusin. Hehe.
@totomai
oi pare! musta thailand? glad nakapanood ka na rin. thanks for keep coming back.
@LA
hi LA! nice meeting you finally. kung pwede lang talaga mag-block dito sa blogspot. haha! Galing ka mag-spot ng undies a.
@Jhed
Lo Jhed! Nakilala ko na rin kayo sa wakas!
Natural nga ba? Inaasar ako ni Benj sa acting e! Haha! Ginagaya ako. Mas magaling pa sa akin.
@Neil
Glad you got something out of the short, Neil. Madali na ngang makalimutan ang ganitong mga occasions. Lalo na pag linilipat pa yung holiday.
booooo.
@Nash
Wow. Good that I inspired you Nash. Madali lang naman i-reignite ang pagka-Pilipino natin e. It’s just in the small deeds we do everyday.
Kay Jet (my bro) ko sana ipapahawak yung cam e. Nahiya lang ako. Haha! Di pa ako Happy Slip level. hehe.
EVERYONE:
Now to answer what everybody’s asking:
I did not mean to offend anyone or be disrespectful to our flag. I did the short film with the simple objective of celebrating our identity as Filipinos.
Spreading the flag that way, facing the sky, for me, is showing the world what we are and shouting to the heavens what were made of.
I’m sorry if I’m uninformed of the laws regarding our national symbol. Now I’m aware of it. And I hope viewers will just see the heart of the film and what message it’s trying to send out.
@pilosopo tasya
thanks for your insights. not a fan of the way you present them though.
@benj
thanks for the heads up after i uploaded the vid. ikaw talaga ang una laging nakakadiskubre ng mga mali sa entries ko. kaya ikaw ang dakila kong adviser. hehe.
And oh, I don’t delete comments but my own. Maybe kung spammer ka or of national security na, pwede pa. But negative comments? I welcome them.
That’s all everyone. Thanks for making this the first post to breach the 50th comment mark. Hehe.
Cheers!
