The municipality of Cuyo is star-studded right now because famous Philippine actress Judy Ann Santos and her boyfriend Ryan Agoncillo are there to shoot “Ploning” with new writer/director Dante Nico Garcia. Although Agoncillo isn’t going to be part of the film, he’s there to provide support to Santos.
We heard actresses Izza Calzado, Gina Pareño and other talented actors are there, but we can’t ascertain their names since some of them flew their directly from Manila. One thing sure though, is that majority of them is in the film cast.

I wish my friend Dante kudos on this movie, his break as brand new director. We can’t wait for Ploning to be shown in cinemas all over the country, especially because we know it’s going to be one film flick that will have all the right ingredients to be a box office hit.
The people of Cuyo are very lucky. Dante is a good son of the town who has never forgotten his roots and is now using it as a backdrop of his film debut. It should be proud to have someone who is willing to go to great lengths just to show the beauty of the place and the unique way of life of the Cuyunon.

Im a pure cuyonon, kapitbahay ko si dante of course im so proud of him and my place its the right time na makikilala ng buong pilipinas o sa ibang parte ng mundo na may existing place sapalawan na tinatawag na cuyo…its a place na akala ng iba ay sobrang behind there so much thing to discover at magugulat kayo but it’s not true very historic ang cuyo dito nagsimula ang civilazation ng buong palawan before mag move on ang mga tao sa iba-ibang parts ng province. Wala ako sa pinas wala akong idea na may shooting pala sa aming bayan…last week naisipan kong mag search ng “cuyonon songs” sa web until na discover ko ang friendster ni dante at nalaman ko rin ang website ng mga cuyonon ang http://www.cuyopress.com andamio na talagang nagbago sa amin since 6 yrs na nakauwi ako doon…goo luck dante i know maganda ang movie at im sure 100 percent ng mga cuyonon at buong palawan papanoorin ang famous PLONING……wow….
Hi, Crispie — thanks for the comment. I’m happy to tell you that according to my sources, Ploning is about to wrap up its shooting. Dante is a very, very good friend. Despite his achievements, he has never forgotten how to speak Cuyunon and his forever loyal to the culture and rich traditions of Cuyo. I admire that in a person. Marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan. I wish you well!
