FAP may isyu sa FDCP

Malaking isyu pala ang pamamahala ng Film Development Council of the Philippines sa katatapos lang na Luna Awards ng Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP).

No wonder, no show si Vivian Velez sa awards night na Director General ngayon ng FAP.

Naglabas ng official statement si Vivian kaugnay ng pangyayari na naka-post sa kanyang Facebook page.

“The Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) was established in 1981, mandated to promote the film worker careers, advocacies, work relations, among many things. Likewise FAP has tasked to recognize superlative performances by its members through the Luna Awards, which is considered by many as the pinnacle of all Philippine industry awards,” bahagi ng statement.

Nakasaad pa sa statement ang naging problema ng FAP sa koleksiyon share nila sa Metro Manila Film Festival at nawala pa ang FAP sa Execom ng MMFF.

Hindi nagustuhan ni Vivian ang pamamahala ng FDCP sa Luna Award na hindi sinabi sa kanila. “It appears that the main responsibility of overseeing the preparations and all the processes for nomination and selection of winnners for the 2019 Luna Awards has been given to the FDCP, which is a clear violation of FAP’s mandate.”

Kaya naman sa ilalim ng kanyang pamamahala, lilinisin niya ang FAP, itatama ang maling tradisyon at ibabalik ang sentro sa welfare ng film workers. “There will be ardous days, grumblings, hate and discontentment ahead. As L. Tolstoy said, “Truth, like told, is to be obtained not by is growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.”

Wala pang tugon si Liza Diño-Seguerra, FDCP, Chairperson sa statement ni Vivian.
