Oh well, you never know... Another installment might be released... Scream and Mano Po, respectively had 4 sequels each... Hopefully, (if there will be another one) the story will be more thought out and developed. I loved the first one!! Next up... We have Baler...
The movie, if i'm not mistaken, won best picture and Anne Curtis took home best actress... Now, I only saw these two out of the 8 or 9 movies, but I believe that the awards the film receieved were well deserved, especially the best actress award. Anne curtis was just astonishing in the movie. Her acting, her presence.... It was just remarkable... My god!! Didn't know she was that good... The movie's storyline was somewhat, very Romeo and Juliet (the forbidden love factor), so it was nothing new, but I believe it was however still portrayed and acted out quite well. Jerichos' optimistic and quite passionate outlook on life made his character so attractive. He was perfect for the part... I however found only one thing wrong with the movie... They casted that comedian (don't know his name), as one of the serious leaders. Everytime he said something serious, I, and mostly everyone in the audience laughed. And given the serious tone of the movie, they should've really just casted someone else...
Anywhoo, I actually wanted to watch One Night Only, but by the time I found free time to watch it, it was showing in selected cinemas already... =(
Oh well... PAPEL!!
Til next year's filmfest... =)

I pretty much agree with your reviews of the films. Tanging Ina's far-fetched plot could have worked, but it came out flat. Even Eugene Domingo couldn't save this one.
Baler had some good performances but Anne and Jericho had zero chemistry. Plus they just didn't look like that in love with each other to me. Another problem I had with Baler is how mediocre the film was. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good either.
Btw, Scream only had two sequels.
