"Peti-B". for classification purposes, is a "docu-phenomenology/ cine-blog" relating the experiential evolution of the filmmaker from initially wanting to create a satire on Poverty to ending up confronting and challenging her deeper motivations for aspiring to become a filmmaker. Besides its personal subjectivity, this cine-blog is also a social commentary on the dangers of desensitization/ learned helplessness of Filipinos (particularly of the elite) to Poverty and Human Rights Violations. This is a film that nudges at armchair revolutionaries to get off of their comfortable seats of Theory to become actual catalysts of Progress.

"I am a fan of your film." - Ping Medina*, actor

*disclaimer: hindi po nila ito opisyal na sinabi sa anumang lathalain o interbyu. sinabi nya lang po nila sa akin ang mga ito nung naipakilala kami sa isa't isa at nagkamayan noong awards night. hehehe

Erratum: At dahil wala akong pera at ako na rin po ang nag-edit nitong pelikulang ito, hindi ko napansin na nagkamali pala ako ng gamit na salita sa isang bahagi dito. Doon sa bahagi ng tuition fee, ang nasabi ko po ay Php 1300 kada semestre na dapat pala Php 1300 KADA YUNIT. O hindi ba? mas naging kalunus-lunos pa ang larawan.
