Carlo Caparas‘ Ang Panday, a special effects-laden fantasy-adventure starring actor-politician Bong Revilla, remains the biggest box-office hit at the 35th Metro Manila Film Festival up to Jan. 2, according to a Manila Bulletin report. Ang Panday has earned P80.8 million (Us$1.75m) since Dec. 25. The runners-up are the vampire comedy Ang Darling Kong Aswang, starring Vic Sotto and Cristine Reyes as a sort of female Robert Pattinson, with P76m (Us$1.65m), and Laurice Guillen’s romantic melodrama I Love You Goodbye, starring Derek Ramsay, Gabby Concepcion, and Angelica Panganiban, with P69.8m (Us$1.51m). Of the festival’s seven films, the one box-office disaster has been boxer Manny Pacquiao’s fantasy flick Wapakman, which has grossed a paltry P2 million (Us$43,000).

Tony Y. Reyes‘ Ang Darling Kong Aswang, starring comedian Vic Sotto, is the 2009 Metro Manila Film Festival’s #2 hit. Apparently Filipinos, like movie audiences elsewhere, have been craving for stories featuring vampires. But unlike the worldwide megahits Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon, in which the vampire is a sexy male (Robert Pattinson), in Ang Darling Kong Aswang the undead is a sexy woman, Christine Reyes. Ang Panday has been this year’s top film. At the other extreme, boxer-turned-actor Manny Pacquiao’s vehicle Wapakman has thus far come in last at the box office. Also of interest, Philippine News offers the Metro Manila festival’s criteria for the Best Picture award: "artistry, creativity and technical excellence, [...]...

Those of you who thought that the first teaser trailer for Filipino superhero comedy Wapakman was…well, special should be very pleased with the full trailer. The country’s super star Manny Pacquiao stars as the colorful and eponymous hero who beats up a just as colorful collection of villains (including a giant crab, lava man, mad scientists etc.) that could have been taken from one of Japan’s latest trash productions. Looks like fun…

Freshly announced as part of the lineup for the 2010 Metro Manila Film Festival, Topel Lee looks to bring the latest Filipino superhero to the screen with his Wapakman. With the film still relatively early in production - Metro Manila basically screens every Filipino film of note for the given year - details are still sketchy beyond the fact that Manny Pacquiao stars as a normal man who develops super powers and WWE star Dave Batista is in the cast, I presume as the villain. Our own Joey Fernandez has been singing Topel Lee’s praises in these pages for years now and it’s not hard to see why based on the short teaser that has just been released. Simple concept, stellar execution. Very nice. Find it after the break.

Wapakamn is an upcoming superhero film out of the Phillipines directed by Topel Lee. Billed as an scifi/fantasy/action/comedy, it headlines Phillipino star Manny Pacquiao, and from what we can see in the teaser, looks beautifully shot. It's basically a bunch of people getting hit by an "unseen fist". Wapakman will premier at the Metro Manila Film Festival in December.
Wapakman is the story of a superhero, played by who else but Manny Pacquiao himself. His nemesis is Fil-Am wrestler Batista while Pussycats Dolls’ lead Nicole Scherzinger, who is also half Pinay, is his love interest.
