Darwin Taylo of upcoming Indie Movie “OMBRE”

Darwin Taylo – it may not be a name you’re quite familiar with yet, but be sure to keep it in mind because this aspiring indie film actor is sure to be taking over movie theatres and living rooms around the nation.

In 2008, Darwin started up acting via gay indie trilogy “Hugot”, written and directed by Jonison Fontanos. His portrayal of a street hustler caught the attention of the director and casted him in yet another gay indie crime flick, “Parisukat” (2010) as Xander/Sandra, the transsexual.

The 21-year-old indie actor is Youtube sensation’s Bekimon’s Junakis.

A proud Caviteño, Darwin is looking to further pursue his dream as a professional film actor hoping to take after one of his famous acting idols John Loyd Cruz.

Darwin’s latest indie movie, “Ombre” – a Bromantic love story will soon capture the hearts of gay hearts.

Below is an interview with Darwin Taylo.


1. Tell me a little about OMBRE. What can we expect?

This film tries to make its way out of the usual sexual-themed indie films and really tries to capture the audience’s attention by drawing them to feel what the characters are feeling. Expect drama. Expect love. Expect romance in different ways.

2. So what was it that drew you to the film?

It’s a masterpiece on its own. And this film’s script is no exception. When I read the script, I immediately agreed to do the film. Knowing the passion Direk (Joni Fontanos) puts in a film and how this would improve my being an actor, I got excited to start filming it.

3. What does the title mean?

OMBRE came from the Spanish word Hombre which means male. This I think is derived from the over-all theme of the film that basically talks about how males fall in love with each other, the true, and sometimes taboo, way.

4. Tell us a little about your character in OMBRE.

I play the role of Dennis, a photographer from Manila, who was an emotionally and mentally depressed young man. Left his life in Manila for a vacation in Baguio, which added more questions than answers to his already disturbed mind. What will keep his mind and heart at peace is what this film will tell you about.

5. So, how similar are you to him?

We are more different than we are similar. I tend to get emotionally and psychologically disturbed sometimes but not to the extent that my character “Dennis” showed in this film. When I love someone, I always manage to set the limit early in the relationship and really try to reach out to the other side of the road and meet halfway.

6. I’ve seen some sexy images from the film, do you mind getting your kit off onscreen?

I actually do. Hehe. The reason is I really have no “nice” kit to show off. But I showed the best form that I can at that time and pulled it off with the support of my director and the crew.

7. There are some great sex scenes in the film. Are they quite as sterile as actors make out?

Not at all. Most of the scenes were done to express passion, not lust; love, not sex; need, not want.

8. How did you go about filming the sex scenes – what’s the process?

It was not easy. We’d have to go thru extensive acting and sensual workshops so we can be comfortable with each other. I also had to watch films with great sex scenes to know the idea and feel what it’s like to do “it” on camera. I think what we were able to come up with was sexy and emotional.

9. How do you feel about the fact that there’s going to be a lot of guys lusting after you?

That’d be unusually cool but we all got it coming if it comes.

10. What would you say is your best asset and if you could change one thing about your body, what would it be?

My eyes are my best asset. I’m comfortable with everything that’s me, but given the chance, my hands can use a little smoothness one way or another.

11. What was the most challenging scene for you to film?

The sex scenes, I’d say. It was the first time I had to do a scene like that, it took a lot of preparation, physically, emotionally, psychologically. It’s not as easy as it looks.

12. What about a scene or moment that you’re most proud of?

It would be the climax of the story where we all got to face our fears and really stand up for what we feel. Well, I mean the characters.


13. Finish the sentence: A good night out starts with….?

a few drinks.

14. And it ends with…?

more drinks. =p

15. What’s one of the most outrageous things you’ve ever done?

Puked right in front of a bar.

16. What comes first for you: sex or love?

Love.

17. What do you think is the secret of a good relationship?

Good communication and understanding.

18. What has been your greatest discovery online?

That you can basically do anything. Sell yourself to great fame and be sold to great shame.

19. And finally, what’s next for you?

I’m not really sure. But I’m pursuing what I started. I love acting so whatever opportunities come to share it, I’d gladly take.

OMBRE. Watch out.

Filipinos love love stories. They rush to the nearest bookstore to buy new releases of books about lovers who start as strangers and end up marrying each other, lovers who start from being the best of friends, lovers who end up with just friendship, love stories seasoned with infidelity, to name a few. Moviegoers rush to the nearest mall to watch the cheesiest movie there is about love, be it John Lloyd with Bea, John Lloyd with Sarah, Enchong with Erich, or Melai with Jason, so long that it makes them cry, laugh, shiver and fall in love for a little while.

And this time, we bring you love.

Phylum Productions is proud to present an intriguing bromance story to the silver screen, sure to make you feel a different kind of love… with a little flick. Prepare to sizzle.

Written and Directed by Jonison Fontanos, dreams, destiny and love, in forms not known to many, come together in this full-length independent film, pre-slated to be shown early next year, 2011.

The synopsis here gives you an idea how.

OMBRE

A dreamer. A searcher. A different kind of love story that relies on destiny…

OMBRE tells the story of Jake, an aspiring actor who went to Baguio City for a reality star search audition. There, he meets Dennis, a photographer from Manila. Both stay in a transient house owned by Dennis’ gay best friend, Brix.

Jake is a dreamer. Dennis is a searcher who just got out of rehab. They became friends and secret lovers. While both of them have special someone waiting back in Manila, it becomes clear that there’s a bond between them that they’ve never felt with other people, and this feeling begins to grow into something deeper.

Is this LOVE?

hom·bre 1 (mbr, mbr) n. Slang A man; a fellow.

And to people who prefer our language,

OMBRE

Isang nangangarap… Isang naghahanap… Isang kakaibang kuwento ng pag-ibig na nakasalalay sa guhit ng palad…

Ang OMBRE ay kuwento ni Jake, isang aspiring actor na nagpunta ng Baguio City para mag-audition sa isang regional star search doon. Sa iisang transient house doon, makikilala niya si Dennis, isang photographer na galing din ng Maynila.

Ang dalawa ay naging magkaibigan at isang gabing hindi inaasahan ay may nangyari sa pagitan nila. Batid nila na ang ganitong sitwasyon ay hindi magtatagal sapagkat ang bawat isa ay may kanya-kanyang lover na naghihintay sa Maynila.

Ngunit ngayon lamang nila nadama ang ganitong pag-ibig sa kanilang mga buhay.

May patutunguhan pa kaya ang kanilang saglit na pagmamahalan? Paano ang mga taong naghihintay sa kanilang pagbabalik? At ano rin ang naghihintay na kapalaran ng dalawang pusong nagnanais?

The film features a couple of new faces who’ll surely captivate everyone’s emotion and attention. Again, prepare to sweat as the film introduces Zac Ferrero, Darwin Taylo, Lando Perez and Kimjee Abad, with Jobben Bello and more. You’ll know them real soon.

Stay updated. Watch out. You don’t wanna miss when these young guys show off what they have and are capable of! Again, first quarter of 2011. We’ll see you there.

OMBRE is Jonison Fontanos’ 3rd film.

I know I’m a BIG LOSER.

Let’s say..

You were born on the 13th of a month, which falls under a Friday in every n years.

Then you live just about your whole life without a father.

Years later, you grew up and became one of the top students in your high school class. But then you ended up losing all your scholarships in college which eventually put an end to your college life sooner than expected.

Then you were lucky enough to get a job right after that. But then you got so excited with money, freedom and shit that you became a one-day millionaire. Ended up owing people money and spending your salary even before you earned it.

You got tired of your everyday routines and wanted something different. Always. You then ended up hopping from one company to another. In more than 2 years, you have been in 11 companies.

And then, you liked and learned to love this one person you know you can never have. Because that someone is somebody else’s already.

And it just wouldn’t happen. Never in a thousand years, you were told and made to believe.

But you also wouldn’t move on. Not gonna happen. Never in a thousand years, you told them.

Then there, of course, are some other people you like. And this next one, you’ve been exchanging talks with for quite some time already. You were under the impression this next one’s just always busy.

But then you’d find out that this next one’s hooking up with one of your close friends. And they met just a week ago. Sweet.

Then there’s this another person you dated. And you thought everything was going smoothly. But then you’d realized you thought wrong. And you’d be left hanging. Just hanging there. Not really sure what you’re hanging on to though.

There are a lot of other stories in between. Which just says the one same thing that these stories tell.

That let’s say you were me, you’d also think you’re a LOSER. A BIG LOSER.

And that’s what I think I am.

But you know what, I think it’s a good thing I know that. And admit it.

Because I also know and I’m assuring myself that all of this, me being loser and shit, will soon enough be yesterday’s news, my friends.

Everyone thinks, especially the Mayan people that 2 years from now would be the end of the world. By 2013, we’d all be partying and cheering that we have an entire new era to look forward to. And by then, the scares and shit of the past years, 2012 for one, are gone. They’re all just yesterday’s news. Were. Had been. Past tense.

So people, take Jay Sean’s advice, party like it’s the end of the world!

Be a loser. Then win big time and celebrate for the rest of your life.

Kris Allen even said YOU GOTTA LIVE LIKE YOU’RE DYING!

And as Katy Perry puts it, NO REGRETS, JUST LOVE.

nakalaya na siya. sana sapat na ang 5 taon.

ni hindi ko maalala kung ano itsura nya dati. ni hindi ko alam kung may namana ba akong kahit ano sa kanya. hindi ko maalala kung ilang beses na kaming nagkita. o kung nakapagusap ba kami ng mas matagal sa limang minuto. hindi ko alam kung naalala man lang nya kami.

at siguro nawalan na rin ako ng pakialam.

ang alam ko, sabi sakin, nagsisimula pa lang akong matutong lumakad e lumayas na sya. o pinalayas. wala pang isang taon nun si Nek. hinabol daw ata ng itak ng lola ko.

at hindi na bumalik. natakot na ata. o baka naisip niya’y sa wakas ay nakatakas na sya samin. ewan ko.

natapos ko ang elementary. nakita ko ang paglaki ni Nek mula sa batang dati’y pinapasok ang pambura ng lapis sa ilong. hinika na ‘ko ng malala at uminom ng sangkaterbang gamot. tinuli ako. nagkaregla na si Nek. bumabalik balik ang hika ko. halos araw-araw sumasakit ang ulo at tiyan ni Nek at kailangang dalhin sa nanghihilot sa kanto.

pinalad na akong maging 4th honorable mention nung highschool at makatanggap ng mga medalya’t trophy. napadala pa nga ako sa Aklan para sa National Schools Press Conference. nakagradweyt din si Nek sa highschool. pinalad pa akong makapag-college kahit wala kaming pera. pinalad pang makakuha ng kung anu-anong scholarship. nag-aral (habang nagtatrabaho sa Jolibee). nakatuntong kahit hanggang 2nd year. si Nek nakapag-college din kahit certification lang ang kaya namin.

kinailangan kong magtrabaho. pinalad ulit. nakapasok ako sa industriya ng call center. aba e malaki pala sahod dun kahit papano. nasilaw ako kay Ninoy at kung kani kaninu pang mukha. naabuso ko un. nakapunta ako kung saan-saan. nainum ko kahit anung gusto kong inumin. nakain ko kahit anung gusto kong kainin. nabili ko mga kung anu-ano. kinaibigan ko kahit sino. hanggang sa nauntog ako sa pader at tumigil. at nagtitino sa ngaun.

natuto akong uminom, magyosi, mag-cutting, mag-wantutri, hindi pumasok para lang sa teatro, magmura, manlait, mabuhay mag-isa, maglaba ng brief ko, maglustay ng pera, gumimik, magpalipat-lipat kung saan at magpaikot-ikot-ikot.

wala siya nun. sa lahat lahat nang un. hindi rin naman namin siya hinintay. wala naman kaming inasahan. matagal nang nakasampal samin un. tapos na kami sa pangungulit.

20 taon halos. dalawang dekadang kasama lang namin nanay ko. dalawang dekadang nagturo sakin ng buhay na to. dalawang dekadang hinding hindi ko pinagsisisihan. dalawang dekadang ipagpapasalamat ko hanggang mamatay ako.

lahat na ata ng trabaho napasok na ng nanay ko. ayoko nang isa-isahin. lahat nang un marangal at lahat ng un ay utang na loob ko sa nanay ko.

lahat na ata ng ulam nakain namin. tuyo, toyo, patis, ketchup, itlog, payless, Muncher, Siga, Hany bar, Fish crackers, at ang favorite ng kapatid ko, tubig na maligamgam na may asukal na ihahalo sa kanin.

wala din naman kaming inasahang pera sa kanya. sinubukan namin isang beses at isang malaking 500 piso ang natanggap namin. e isang beses lang sa isang taon kami dumadalaw dun. ang hirap ibadyet nun sa isang taon. ni hindi na nga ata naulit un. nalait pa kami.

hinayaan na namin. kaya naman namin. madaming mababait na tao sa buhay namin kaya buhay pa kami hanggang ngaun. at hindi sumuko ang nanay ko.

ang dami din naming nabalitaan tungkol sa kanya. kesyo mabuti daw ang buhay nila ng isa pa nyang kung anu man tawag dun, kasama ang mga naging bunga nila. kahit kelan, hindi naman kami nainggit.

ni hindi ko na nga iniisip pa siya. sa halos 20 taon na un, wala akong maalalang isang buong pangungusap na nasabi nya.

pero isang back-to-back yellow pad paper ang pinabasa sakin isang araw. ang daming talata nun. ang daming salita. nalunod ako.

at nagulat.

kilala nya pa pala kami. kaya nya pa pala kaming tawaging anak.

mahal nya pa pala kami.

daw.

natanggap namin ang sulat nang ipasok siya sa loob. balita namin, ung isa nyang kung anu pa man tawag dun e biglang naglahong parang bula. ang dami kong naisip.

ahhhhhh kaya pala.

lahat naman kaya kong isulat. kahit hindi totoo. baka ganun lang un.

5 taon din syang nasa loob. hindi lang sulat ang natanggap namin. pati mga text, tawag, at pasaload. madami. double sent pa nga madalas. 10 missed calls pa nga minsan. mga nasa 5 numero din siguro nagamit niya. binigyan pa nga ako ng textmate.

nakadalaw din kami mga 3 hanggang 5 beses. andun pa nga kami december 24 nung isang taon.

hindi ko alam kung siya talaga un dinadalaw namin. hindi ko na siya maalala.

o baka hindi ko lang ginustong maalala.

mataba siya, maputi. kumpara sa alam kong itsura nya dati na maitim at payat. ibang mga salita na naririnig ko sa kanya. iba na siya kumilos. “adbayser” pa nga tawag sa kanya dun.

hindi ko alam kung nagbago na siya. kung papatawarin ko siya. o kung kaya ko pa siyang ibalik sa sistema ko.

hanggang nito lang, may balita ulit. nakalaya na siya.

wala pa akong sagot sa mga tanong na yan pero tingin ko kailangan ko nang sagutin agad agad.

hindi ko alam kung ano dapat ang tatay sa buhay ng isang tao dahil sa utak ko, walang memorya ng isang tatay. hindi ko alam kung ano i-eexpect o kung meron ba.

pero alam ko isa na ang nagawa ko. napatawad ko na sya. ok na un. malay mo may kahinatnan naman ang 5 taon.

puro malay mo. e malay ko. wala nga akong alam.

lahat naman daw ng tao nagkakamali. and it is never too late to change.

i doubt that though. when is “too late” then? hindi ko rin alam.

sana nga sapat na. sana simula na to ng magandang pagbabago. sana.

ADAM CAROLLA TALKS TRASH ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES, FILIPINOS AND MANNY PACQUIAO!

Adam Carolla IS BY FAR THE MOST PATHETIC COMEDIAN I HAVE EVER KNOWN!

it is my first time to hear his name and my first time to pity a “popular” comedian who boasts over some shit when he himself can’t get over the freaking fact that Pacquiao is waaaaaaay too successful than he is and that he’s a COMPLETE LOSER.

To hit a country with those nonsense comments is not in any way funny, but is COMPLETELY STUPID. Oh my. Now Carolla, who needs to get a life?

In that clip, you’ll hear how a trying-hard comedian talks trash just to be noticed.

http://www.examiner.com/x-21442-Sacramento-Fight-Sports-Examiner~y2010m4d1-Popular-American-comedian-and-television-host-discriminates-against-Manny-Pacquiao-and-Filipinos

The following are quotes from Adam Carolla about the Philippines. (Examiner.com)

“Here’s how you know when your country doesn’t have a lot going for it: When everything is about Manny Pacquiao.”

“Get a fu**in life as a country”

“All you fu**in got is just an illiterate guy who happens to smash other guys in the head better than other people”

“Really, you want some guy with brain damage running your country? Why don’t you get your sh*t together?”

“All they have over there is Manny Pacquiao and sex stores.”

“What happens when Floyd Mayweather beats him? Does your country go into depression?”

Here are some people’s comments from Examiner.com:

G says:
It’s one thing to be funny, it’s another thing to just be disrespecting a country and its people. It doesn’t matter who he’s friends with. All that matters is what he says and how he acts. I was a fan, but damn. I don’t wanna be a fan of somebody this racist and be so f’n disrespectful and tactless and just a plain a**. He don’t know anything about the Philippines, and he better apologize. Somebody this uneducated, racial and without ethics should never be allowed to go public and influence his followers.

Mlo518 says:
Adam “Ace or Ass what ever his nickname” Corolla is a damn shame. He comes from an Italian and Hungarian family. He is an idiot and racist to say such remarks. I think he was trying to be funny but it backfired. I don’t even remember any of his comedy show being funny. I think thats why he targeted Mr. Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and the Philippines just to get a laugh or two. He just doesn’t really know how to communicate with people. Mark my word, this will really make him hated through out the worl and his peers for saying such things.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOSqFWwdtAE&feature=player_embedded

MY SAY:

Our country is yes, imperfect in, its own ways. We got a lot of corruption going on, a lot of black agendas around, politicking, unjust justice system, poor educational system, and all the other f*cked-up things one can name about the PH. BUT HEY! You as*hole got no right to talk dirty about a country and its people. THAT’S OUTRIGHT PATHETIC. TSK.

Opens MARCH 10 to 16

EXCLUSIVELY @ Robinsons Galleria Indie Sine.

Note:

SEE YOU THERE!

Trailer:

PARISUKAT

A “whodunnit” crime of passion involving 6 male characters: a young man, a gay lover, a hustler, a discreet bisexual, a houseboy, and a transvestite. No one knows that their lives are interconnected by a past murder case until fate brought them together in an old Spanish boarding house to unfold the mysterious crime in full circle.

PARISUKAT Indie Gay Film: “Makuha ka sa isang titig…”

The story of “Parisukat” involves five characters:

Jaime portrayed by theater actor Jobben Bello. The character he played had a lot of weight (no pun intended), a loner by nature, no family ties, no friends. He lives a life of a solitary gay man who eventually meets Herman a character that is personified by 90’s sexy actor Toffee Calma.

Herman (Toffee) is the sex savvy player in the movie. He is at the prime of his life not ready for anything serious which creates conflict between him and Jaime.

A comic relief is provided by Xander, a transsexual gay man played by Darwin Taylo who if i may say resembles controversial actress Krista Ranillo and has the humor of Megan Mullaly.

Another character of interest is played by Marcus played Jeff Tatsuro, a hunky Fil-Jap model with a body to die for. Marcus is running away from a past that will eventually catch up with him.

A character played by Christopher Canizares (Mr. Pogi 2004) will ultimately lead to an interesting twist to the story.

Parisukat is a psycho thriller that will keep you guessing ’til the end. It will grip your attention span to the end credits. It is written and directed by Jonison Fontanos under Ignatius Films, will be shown in February 2010.

editing CSS costs money on WP.

I didn’t know that. Haha. How fool of me.

Some may say I’m techy. Actually, I type on an average of 58 words per minute with an average of 95% accuracy (that’s based on the 3 typing tests I took in my past job applications). But I do not use the QWERTY style in typing but still the “dut-dut” system.

I have worked on a number of call centers in the past 2 years and have even handled an account before about computers, modem, and internet connection. Technical and very technical stuff.

BUT I don’t know how to use Photoshop or Premiere. I only use Paint.

Which made me try to edit the theme I chose by personalizing its header.

Which I partly did successfully.

Or so I thought.

<<<<======= This was the preview of the edited CSS of this site’s theme. It actually took me more than half an hour to do that. Haha. It was only after previewing it when I read the writing above the “Edit CSS” section.

“The CSS editor lets you modify the visual style of your blog. You can edit your CSS and preview the changes for free. If you would like the ability to save your changes and make your design visible to the public, please purchase the Custom CSS Upgrade.”

I was struck by the sentence saying I can edit my CSS and preview it for FREE. Which will make no sense at all if you don’t upgrade, with a cost.

That’s basically it. I just wanted to share the free preview of my edited CSS. Purchasing the upgrade is not an option for me anytime soon. Hehe.

Good day.

i want no other Nanay. but Nanay.

“Mac, wala na akong pipiliing ibang anak kasi mahal na mahal kita.” – Nanay
(“Mac, I will not choose anybody else as my son because I love u so much” – my Mother)

That sentence broke my heart and fixed it at the same time. It made me cry a gallon and smile my biggest at the same time. Those were definitely the sweetest and most precious words anybody in this whole wide world would ever say to me. I am so lucky and blessed to have THE BEST mother in the world, my very mother who made my life this special.

I was looking for something when unexpectedly, I found two letters sealed and are printed with red ink on its front. The writing appeared to be my mother’s handwriting. Which triggered something inside me. It made me nervous.

After opening it, I found there the letter that made me thank God I was born as me and I was given THE BEST mother I could ever ever had.

I cried.

I cried because I wanted to tell her that she doesn’t have to apologize for anything. Anything AT ALL. She gave more than her very best to me and my sister and I was a witness to all of that. She gave more than I’d ask. She showed more than love than I expected.

I cried because I felt that I failed her. On a lot of things. That I disappointed her so much. That she feels sorry for me because of who I’d become.

I cried because I thought it was unfair. It was unfair for a lovely woman my mother is to carry the weight of all this. It was unfair that she is sad rather than what she deserves – happiness.

I cried because I wanted to give her THE BEST. I wanted to make her the happiest mother in the world. I wanted her to feel my never-ending love to her and our small family. I wanted to make all her dreams come true. I wanted to give her the best life she would ever have.

I wanted to make her feel that I love her more than anything and everything in this world. I wanted to tell her that for me, her eyes are the most beautiful eyes in the world, her hands tender the most warming touch, her lips give the most loving kiss, her arms give the most comforting hugs and eveything that’s hers mean the most to me.

I cried because I haven’t made her fell that just yet. I cried because she seems to not feel me that much. I cried because I felt that I had uncountable shortcomings.

But I also smiled.

It made me very happy to realize that my mother loves me so much and that I love her back even more than before. It made me smile to feel relief and change starting to build up inside me. It made me smile that I still have a very good reason to smile every day and love life.

It made me smile to feel my mother’s love even more than before. It made me smile to feel that with this, my sister and I are not and will never be alone.

My mother raised us all by herself since I was as young as 2 years old. Technically, I have lived my entire life with her and just her as our parent. And she was and still is THE BEST that she can ever be. She has showered us with unconditional love each and every day.

To her I owe every peso that I spend, every word that I speak, every step that I make, and every breath that I take. To her I’d give everything, even my last and only.

ako, nanay at nek

I love you Nanay. I hope God will give me the chances and the opportunities to grab all and every of these chances to show my Nanay how

much I love her.

As a follow-up to my previous post, let me tell you guys further about Parisukat.

This is one of the first posters they made. Will be posting the new and updated ones by January, along with the trailer.

PARISUKAT

Articles about each of the cast were published online since this late part of December. Here was the article made about me.

BAGUHANG INDIE ACTOR, HAWIG NI KRISTA RANILLO!

By Ryan Maestra

Hindi sinadya at nagkataon lamang na naging kamukha ng baguhang indie actor na si Darwin Taylo ang kontrobersiyal na aktres na si Krista Ranillo. Ito ay sa bagong indie gay film na “Parisukat” ng Ignatius Films.

Sa pelikula, ginampanan ni Darwin ang role na Xander, isang Transexual (She-male) na sekretarya ng massacre film director. Prior to shoot, nag-wig and make-up rehearsal at wardrobe fitting pa ang guwapong binatilyo at ang lumabas nga na deadringer niya ay si Krista Ranillo.

“Yun nga po ang sabi nila (cast and crew), hawig ko daw po si Krista. Nung second shooting day nga namin, nung shi-noot namin yung murder scene, aksidenteng natapilok ako, Tapos, nagtakbuhan yung ilang usiserong lalaki para alalayan ako. Akala pala nila babae ako,” kuwento pa ng 18 y/o na baguhang aktor.

May background sa Theater acting si Darwin at naging president pa ng theater group nila sa Cavite State University. Lumabas na rin siya sa ilang indie films at short films. Ngayon lamang siya gaganap na transsexual (she-male).

“Nagsuot ako ng heels, nag-make up, naka-pambabaeng suot at inipit ko yung boses ko dito. Sana nga e mapansin at magkaroon pa ng projects after this,” natatawang sambit ng binatilyo.

Si Darwin ay straight sa totoong buhay at dahil nga sa convincing niyang portrayal ng tranny sa “Parisukat”, pinagdududahan na daw ang kanyang pagkatao.

“Niloloko po ako ng cast and crew. Pero kilala ko naman po siyempre yung sarili ko. Salamat na lang po sa mga nagdududa kasi ibig pong sabihin effective po yung acting ko bilang Xander,” tugon pa niya.

Ang “Parisukat” ay written and directed by Jonison Fontanos. Ito ay kuwento ng isang negosyanteng bakla na pinatay ng callboy. Si Toffee Calma (Cris Pablo’s Showboyz) sa papel ng negosyante at ang Pinoy Japanese model na si Jeff Tatsuro sa papel ng nursing student / callboy. Kasama rin sa cast ang Eat Bulaga’s Mr. Pogi 2004 winner na si Christopher Canizares, Jobben Bello, Alvin Espinosa at Rosemarie Ibarrita.

Ang “Parisukat” ay ipalalabas sa February 2010 dito sa Metro-Manila at sa Cebu City.

I know some of you might have been a little surprised. Yes, I played the role of Xander aka Sandra Montecarlo for this film, my 1st ever transsexual portrayal. The story is a masterpiece for me, that’s why playing a challenging role (and risky in some ways)  like this is not much of a big deal, but is an opportunity to show my versatility. This film was made for art and by our (cast and crew) passion.

Constructive criticism is very much welcome. And hold the thoughts until you see the piece. And you wouldn’t wait that long, because it’ll hold its grand premiere on Feb 2010 that will be followed by screenings in cinemas here in Metro Manila and Cebu.
