"Prinsipe Sabong" Wins Filmfest Award
‘Prinsipe Sabong’ is more than
just a movie about cockfighting
http://www.malaya.com.ph/apr28/ente1.htm
Many independent films have made the country proud by winning awards here and abroad. Joining their ranks is “Prinsipe Sabong,” a film about cockfighting. It won the prestigious Remi Award for Best Feature last April 27 at the 42nd WorldFest-Houston Independent International Film Festival.
Winning that award wasn’t easy for “Prinsipe Sabong,” considering that cockfighting was banned in the
Luckily, the panel of judges at WorldFest saw “Prinsipe Sabong” for what it is. It is so much more than a movie about cockfighting – it is a celebration of cultural diversity.
“Prinsipe Sabong” stars Gardo Versoza as Joey Estevens, an actor who is also passionate about cockfighting. When his best gamecock loses to a breed of gamecock known only as “prinsipe sabong,” Joey becomes frantic, livid. Joey could not work and lost appetite as an actor. He was obsessed with the identity of prinsipe sabong and its whereabouts.
He quit showbiz and returned to his hometown, because he heard a rumor that was where “prinsipe sabong” was bred. Upon his return, Joey discovers that his father has decided to adopt four kids, thereby turning their house into an orphanage of sorts. Joey hated the idea, but his brother was fine with it. The ruckus started. What made it worst is the presence of Celine – girlfriend of his brother Jeffrey, whom Joey later fell in love with.
“Prinsipe Sabong” also stars Katya Santos as Celine Montemayor and Allan Paule as Jeffrey Stevens. It is a far cry from the kind of movies Filipinos are accustomed to. The story is very simple, real and is built around superstitions related to the sport of cockfighting says Edwin G. Monton (executive producer).
It was produced and written by Armie C. Fernandez and directed by Yeng Grande. Visit their website (www.princeofcockfightingthemovie.com).
“Prinsipe Sabong” is also slated to receive the Bronze Best Picture award at the Mexico Film Festival on May 31, and there will surely be more in its future.

"PRINSIPE NG SABONG"
MY FRIENDS, A MOVIE WITH A COCKFIGHTING THEME "PRINSIPE NG SABONG" WILL BE SHOWN AT WORLD-FEST INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. WE NEED TO SUPPORT THIS. PLEASE HAVE TIME TO WATCH OR CONTACT FRIENDS AND RELATIVES LIVING IN AND AROUND HOUSTON TO WATCH THIS MOVIE. THANK YOU
Hi Lando,
Thanks again, I really appreciate your offer to help us promote our movie “Prince of Cockfighting”. We have the same goal… to promote to the world our beloved sports of cockfighting. This is the reason that on our very first movie venture the theme is about cockfighting in general.
Because my wife --- Armie Fernandez-Monton knows that I love cockfighting so much, she personally wrote the story of the movie for me. The name of our production company is “When Armie met Monty Productions, Inc” and it was only established last December 2008.
The website of the movie is currently under construction; it is expected to be finished next week. I will forward to you the link once completed. For the mean time here synopsis of the movie:
SYNOPSIS:
It’s a story about the search for Prinsipe Sabong.
The best gamecock that beat Joey’s 12-time Champion cock.
He went back home to look for it.
But Joey found Love instead.
Love of his father.
Love of his brother.
Love of his adoptive siblings…
But the forbidden love of a woman
prompted him to leave his home once again.
So when he finally found Prinsipe Sabong,
The search ended. But not the quest.
For your info… "Prince of Cockfighting" was chosen as one of the finalist among thousands of film entries in this year World-Fest International Film Festival in Houston, Texas and we were invited to attend the Awards Night on the 3rd week of April.
“Prince of Cockfighting” is scheduled to be shown for the 1st time in its world premier at the World-Fest week-long program on April 22 at 9pm in Houston. We will send our director Yeng Grande to Houston to represent the movie in the Awards Night.
Your column will be a big help to promote and invite our fellow Filipinos in the Houston area to come and watch the Prince of Cockfighting world premier.

2. Air - Director: Ryotaro Muramatsu - JAPAN
3. Lahore - Director: Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan - INDIA
By the way, if you have friends living in the Texas area please invite them to watch it.
