Director’s Statement
"The idea of this film came up four years ago when I became indirectly involved with the said incident. It captures my interest to tell this story because it shows a unique but also disturbing characteristic of a common Filipino family. That when a family member is backed against the wall for the wrong doings that he or she made, you will do everything to keep them out of trouble even if it means violating basic virtuous. In a society where survival of the fittest is a fact that we have to live with, family becomes amoral."
Ma' Rosa also casts Baron Geisler , Jomari Angeles, Neil Ryan Sese, Mercedes Cabral, Andi Eigenmann, Mark Anthony Fernandez, Felix Roco, Mon Confiado and Maria Isabel Lopez.
The Gensan Screening on December 7 will be preceded by a media launch at the SM Event Center (Dec. 6) at 5:00 in the afternoon, with the film director himself, Mr. Brillante Mendoza.
