Saging Lang Ang May Puso - The Lapid 3:16 Trilogy

this started out as simple hero worship, really. when i first watched Mark Lapid's "Saging Lang Ang May Puso" video clip, i was floored. if you watch the full trailer of the film "Apoy sa Dibdib ng Samar," you'll realize that Mark Lapid's line actually made perfect sense in the context of the analogy that they used for the main characters. however, the line came out so hilariously in spite of its intense delivery that it developed a cult following and spawned several creative imitations/versions, including the ones in this video.

Episode One was shot in Barracuda Lake, Coron, Palawan last May 11, 2008 by Paul Dee and was later on uploaded on the net by Melody Lim-Dee. among those in that clip were Abet Lagula, Dhang Estabillo, Oros Lagman, and yours truly.

Episode Two was shot in Echo Valley, Sagada, Mountain Province last June 1, 2008 by Mon Lagula (side cam view, uncut version) and Donnie Bañez (front view, edited version). those in the clip were Abet Lagula, Sheldon Senseng, and yours truly.

Episode Three, or the Lapid 3:16 Tagalog version was shot in Tapyah Falls, Batad, Banaue, Ifugao last July 6, 2008 by Mon Lagula. the souped-up final version had a catchy instrumental backdrop to it and featured Abet Lagula, Donnie Bañez, and yours truly.

in addition, we shot Episode 3.5 - an English version for our new friend Marjan Van der ven - also in Tapyah Falls.
