It was the unlikeliest profound exchange of remarks, one that spoke more because Tarog’s film delves deeper than deep into the psyche of a tired artist, an actress who ever since she was a child has been in the cutthroat business of entertaining the masses.

Iza Calzado, the star of “Bliss,” quickly joked, “Family Mart is his vacation.” Again, everybody laughed. Tarog briefly explained that he is working on the sequel of the historically profitable historical film, “ Heneral Luna,” inside his hotel room and is only able to leave it for required public appearances and brief breaks. Osaka has thousands of attractions and the famous convenience store is hardly special, even to Filipinos who have witnessed the Japanese-grown mini-mart grow from obscurity to necessity within a couple of years. The filmmaker taciturnly said, “Family Mart.” Everybody laughed. He has been here before, to represent “ Sana Dati” (2013), a film that is a million times more jovial than “Bliss,” the film that he has just premiered to the world.

Director Jerrold Tarog, however, was not a first-timer to the Osaka Asian Film Festival. It was a question that one would generally expect to be thrown by an excited host to his foreign guest. Manila (CNN Philippines Life) - The question seemed so innocent, trivial even.
