Writer-Director Ronald Carballo Raves About Bong Revilla And Indio

WRITER-DIRECTOR Ronald Carballo is raving about “Indio”. We’d like to give him the floor:

“I once wrote na dragging ang GMA soap na "Indio" dahil first two weeks na di pa man lumilitaw si Bong Revilla. At sinabi ko ring hindi ko na ito panonoorin uli.

But I was wrong. Nang dumating na si Bong as Indio, muling sinilip ko ito... at nabago naman. I am hooked now, as in every night, pag nasa bahay ako, at tuluy-tuloy na sa "Pahiram ng Sandali" at "Temptation of Wife" na super-aliw. Typical soap na soap. Taob silang lahat sa seasoned performance ni Ms. Lorna Tolentino at sa namumukod tanging ganda at husay ni Marian Rivera sa hanay ng mga now generation of actresses.

Going back to ‘Indio’, impressed ako sa moving performance ni Bong Revilla! Siyempre ang husay din ni Michael de Mesa, with Jennylyn Mercado, Sheena Halili at may isa pang maganda at mahusay din, yung character ng "Elena" na anak nina Melissa Mendez at Dan Alvaro. Sorry, ang dami ko talagang GMA 7 stars na di ko kilala na gusto kong kilalanin. (Ronald, you’re referring to Vaness del Moral, also a Starstruck discovery. Magaling talaga siya. – Mario B)

Talagang given a good material and a good director, (Dondon Santos na galing sa ABS-CBN 2. Sayang pinakawalan ng kapamilya ang mahusay na direktor na itong na gain naman ng Kapuso network ngayon), nailalabas ang natural na husay ni Bong as an actor na pinanday na rin ng panahon.

Ngayon lang ako talaga na-hooked ng ganito sa isang GMA soap in "Indio". Fluid ang story telling, wonderful performances, excellent photography, magaganda ang shots na pelikulang-pelikula ang dating talaga mula nga sa interpretasyon ng mahusay na direktor na si Dondon Santos.”
