Local talent once again finds global recognition as ‘On The Job’ the six-part miniseries created by Erik Matti and Michiko Yamamoto for HBO Asia Originals was nominated for Best TV
HOOQ, the video-on-demand service launched in January 2015 and currently available in four Asian countries including the Philippines, is on aggressive mode. It has just signed a deal to produce original content that would transform “On the Job” (OTJ), the award-winning 2013 Filipino crime thriller film, into a brand-new, six-episode video series.
Matinee idol and superstar Piolo Pascual will be in New York on Nov. 20 to visit and tour “Philippine Gold: Treasures of Forgotten Kingdoms,” Asia Society Museum’s critically acclaimed exhibition.
“‘On The Job’ came from an interesting conversation with a service driver sa isang shooting. Kinukwento niya na nakulong siya, and the only way he was earning money in prison to support his family was to do hit jobs outside; that was over 10 years ago, but it stuck with me,” recalls director Erik Matti.
