"Transit" starring Jasmine Curtis is Philippines Entry to Oscars Awards 2013

"Transit" starring Jasmine Curtis is Philippines Entry to Oscars Awards 2013. Directed by Hannah Espia, "Transit" figured in a three-way tie with Erik Matti's "On the Job" and Brillante Mendoza's "Thy Womb," was eventually chosen when the selection committee's head, director Peque Gallaga, voted in favor of "Transit." Produced by film director Paul Soriano, "Transit" is the fifth Cinemalaya original production selected as the Philippines' Oscars entry, after Auraeus Solito's "Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros" (2006), Adolfo Alix Jr.'s "Donsol" (2007), Marlon Rivera's "Ang Babae sa Septic Tank" (2011), and Jun Lana's "Bwakaw" (2012).
