My Mowelfund Experience

I really had a fun experience in Mowelfund. In the orientation, I was surprised that 65% of the money from Metro Manila Film Festival is given to Mowelfund.

There, I got the chance to see and hold the camera that is used before in early Filipino films. I also got the chance to sit in the director’s chair.

At Mowelfund, I saw the list of works of Brocka, Bernal and other Filipino directors. Their awards, trophies and medals are also placed near their pictures.

I also love the painting in the walss of Fernando Poe, Jr.’s different character in his movies. I also saw the mini statue of Panday inside FPJ’s hall.

As we go through inside the Mowelfund, the history of the Philippines was first discussed to us. Antonio Ramos and Cine Walgrah’s images are on the walls. The first movie houses are also there. Cine Walgrah is the first movie house here in the Philippines and Antonio Ramos first brought a movie here in our country.

While going to the second floor, we first step into the stairs of the stars where the names of early actors and actresses are listed in every step. And for me, that’s a pretty cool idea for the Mowelfund visitors.

I also got the chance to see the dresses and costumes of different actors and actresses like Vilma Santos’ Darna. The dresses that are used in the awards night are also put there and I’m amazed that their waistlines are much smaller than mine.

I also saw the statue of Machete at the ground floor and I also got the chance to enter the horror room. The monsters there are made of foams and they paint it as it looks like real monsters. They are really big and scary. The sound in the horror room also adds the room to be scarier.
