Hi, first time to visit this thread.
Saw the list of available DVDs...it's not a very good list of films. Macho Dancer and the two Joyce Bernal romantic comedies are the most watchable of the lot (well, For Your Height Only has some camp value), but I'd hate to represent the Philippines with this paltry selection.
On the question of subtitles...they don't do English titles lightly, it's very expensive, paying for translator, spotter, then actually printing the titles will cost from a hundred to two hundred thousand pesos...no, the studios, especially nowadays, are not interested in spending the money.
There is this government body called IFFCOM that will reimburse a studio for expenses in showing to a film festival abroad, but it's a reimbursement deal, and studios aren't even willing to advance the cash.
That's the reality of it, folks. With amateur subtitling techniques, that may be the only hope...
