Sexy Stars, Formerly Called Philippine Bold Star, in Philippine Cinema

Philippine cinema celebrates the Philippine bold star

The Philippines, hosting one of Asia's earliest film industries, remains undisputed in terms of the highest level of theater admission in Southeast Asia.

Even if a dramatic decline is observable, movie producers and cinema owners are continuously hopeful that people will patronize locally produced films through offering the audience more artistic and mature films, and significant improvements in cinematic techniques.

Throughout the history of the film industry in the Philippines, several filmmakers have already produced projects which tackled Philippine political, sexual, social and religious matters which are considered sensitive and controversial. Some of which are taboo subjects, including soft porn films, but are widely acknowledged by film audiences.
