The political thriller Bente features three parallel stories of the three main characters ? a hard-hitting radio commentator Arnie Guerrero (Estrada), a bodyguard (Gomez) of a corrupt mayor, who is frequently criticized in radio programs, and the student activist Mervin (Gatchalian). The mayor instructed his bodyguard to murder Arnieafter he has revealed corrupt practices of the said mayor on his radio show. The body guard, on the other hand, has his own personal problems as his wife played by Iza Calzado is committing adultery. Mervin has his own fair share of death threats, given by his participation in social movements.
The movie will feature a climactic ending, which will surely change forevermore the loves of the three main characters. To support the interesting plot are superb performances from the lead and supporting casts. Goma portrayed his character very well. Even when he has no dialogs and just standing or sitting still, his presence is felt with skyrocketing intensity. Jinggoy?s portrayal of a happily-married man who fears nothing, even death, just to support his cause is nothing short of fantastic. Aldred?s acting, on the other hand, was just enough to give justice to the role of a young social activist.Aside from receiving a very rare A from the Cinema Evaluation Board, the film Bente was showered with praises and positive comments from those who saw it.

Gagawin ang lahat para sumikat. Kahit sariling katawan ang kabayaran, gagawin para matupad lamang ang hangad. Hanggang saan ang kayang gawin kung ikaw ay alipin ng pag-ibig? Tikman… pasukin… subukan… kaya mo bang tumagal sa mundo ng pelikula? Handa ka na bang magpa-Booking? In the film, Marco is the struggling actor and playing his devoted fan is Gawad Tanglaw 2009 Best Supporting Actor awardee, Emilio Garcia. “Booking” also stars Snooky Serna, Ms. Anita Linda, Bernie Guinto, Mercedes Cabral and Charles Delgado.“Booking” is likened to the 1980s film “Bona” which starred Nora Aunor and Philip Salvador.

The character, Bona, was deeply consumed with her love for the fledgling action star Gardo that she went to the extent of dropping out of school just to become the latter’s manservant. It is her way of expressing of her devotion to her idol. Although totally enamored with Gardo, Bona’s feelings ended up unrequited as the man whom she has essentially given up her entire life for leaves her for another woman.
In “Booking”, Marco’s role is very similar to that of Philip Salvador’s in “Bona”. In the film, Marco is the struggling actor and playing his devoted fan is Gawad Tanglaw 2009 Best Supporting Actor awardee, Emilio Garcia. “Booking” also stars Snooky Serna, Ms. Anita Linda, Bernie Guinto, Mercedes Cabral and Charles Delgado.

Two of the survivors are Ariel (Nash Aguas) and the outcast Atong (Robert Villar, Jr.) (who was being punished and so skipped recess). Ariel’s best friend Dennis (Julio Pisk) wasn’t so lucky, however. The two surviving boys form a grief-hewn friendship of sorts as they struggle to cope with survivor guilt and the not-very-admirable behavior of the adults of the village.
