Ang Babae sa Septic Tank chronicles a day in the life of three ambitious, passionate but misguided filmmakers as they set out to do a quick pre-prod at Starbucks, a courtesy call to their lead actress, Eugene Domingo, and an ocular inspection of their film's major location, the Payatas dumpsite. Director Rainier, Producer Bingbong and Production Assistant Jocelyn are well-to-do, well-educated film school graduates who are dead set on making an Oscar worthy film. They believe they have a winning script, the energy and the drive to make their dreams come true. Like most filmmakers they know, they have devised a screenplay that will show the real essence of our culture: poverty. In the course of one day, they brainstorm and exhaust all possible treatment of their project: the story of Mila (Eugene Domingo), a mother from the slums, who out of desperation to survive, has sold her child to a pedophile. As they discuss the possible executions of the story, the movie-within-a-movie gets reborn in Jocelyn's imagination several times. As a gritty no frills neo-realist film, as a glossy musical, as an over-the-top melodrama and as a docu drama using non-actors. For their last task of the day, they visit the dumpsite for the first time. As filmmakers gunning for authenticity, they get excited with the "beauty" of the squalor around them. Soon enough, they are faced with reality as they come face to face with the real effects of their chosen subject. Babae sa Septic Tank is a comedy about misguided ambitions, the art of making art and the romanticization of poverty.

WRITING is really NOT my passion. :D
I am INEXISTENT, but in the eyes of those who understand, I EXIST. I am NUMB, but to a few whom I learned to like and trust, I become the most sensitive person they ever knew. I am aware that I am less than some people expect me to be. But most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see. I would either be your friend or your enemy. To the world I'm nothing, but to the lives ive touched, I may be everything. :)
Don't judge me unless you have looked through my eyes, experienced what I have and cried as many tears as me. Until then BACK-OFF, cause you have no idea.
I am strong yet sometimes weak. I am opinionated yet open minded. I am selfish yet love with my whole heart and soul. These things make me who I am.
Piss me off I'll get even. Put me down, I'll recover twice as quick. Telll me I can't do something, I'll do it even better. Think you know me, better THINK TWICE.
