If you are reading this post then it means you are interested to know the type of movies that make filipinos spend money out from their wallets. Thanks to wikipedia, a complete list of the highest paid movies in the Philippines is now possible to create.
These films were responsible in making pinoys cry, laugh, daydream, freak, shriek (all the emotions you can think of… ) Rocking since the days of TITANIC.
After finishing the list, I am quite disappointed. Find out why…

| 13 | A Very Special Love | ₱ 179.57 million | 2008 | |
| 14 | Twilight | ₱ 179.16 million | 2008 | |
| 15 | Ang Tanging Ina | ₱ 177.82 million | 2003 |
Find anything unusual?
If you will check the movies created by our neighboring countries like Korea, Taiwan, Japan etc. Their highest paid FILM was a FILM CREATED by their people and NOT created by FOREIGNERS. You can see clearly in the list that if we will deduct the last 5 out from the top 15 and make it only top 10. The pinoy films that ever reached the TOP was “Ang Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat” and “You Changed My Life” only. The rest are all foreign films.
Want to know what’s more strange?
If you will make a little comparisson between the storyline of the 8 foreign movies vs the 2 local movies that made to the top 10. It seems the former (foreign movie) has a deep storyline, astounding visual effects and has a clear and crispy quality of movie production compare to the latter ( “You change my life” and “Ang tanging ina nyong lahat”) which we all know has the opposite characteristics compared to the foreign movies said.
Ever wonder, why our local movie producers keep making the same FILMS that the majority of pinoys don’t even like to watch?
It’s like: C’mon guys! Why create a movie that won’t be viewed by the majority of Filipinos?
What happened to the BIG budget given to Philippine movie industry every year to create a superior quality of films? Please don’t tell to the filipinos that it’s being pass to someone else’s wallet again?

I have always been a believer with the talents of Filipinos striving for the best. I just hope these people will have the chance to grow and be recognized and replace the “old alligator” producers who were responsible for making the quality of Philippine movie production “poor as a pauper”.
