Jologs is a 2002 Filipino teen, comedy-drama film directed by Gilbert Perez and released by Star Cinema. [1] [2] The film featured an ensemble cast as well as cameos from well-known Filipino celebrities. Jologs is a Filipino pejorative that is used to describe a tawdry person who belongs to the lower class.
The first character shown is Ruben (John Prats). A college student, his job at Barako Café owned by Trigger (Onemig Bondoc) is not nearly enough to pay his tuition. Having lost his scholarship on a technicality, Ruben resorts to burglary at his father's house in order to cover his educational expenses. What ensues is a comedic overly choreographed fight-scene complete with wire work and overdone martial arts action.
Shona (Michelle Bayle) leaves her daughter and her boyfriend Mando (played by Diether Ocampo) in order to return to work in Japan as an exotic dancer. Her predicament exemplifies the situation of every Filipino person who has come to the realization that life in the Philippines often does not allow the working person to earn money enough to save for a better living.
Cher (Baron Geisler) is a drag queen who, because of her sexuality, becomes the victim of violent homophobic aggression. His performance, while exaggeratedly comic, touches on the ugliness of homophobia and sexual discrimination. And yet the issue is never resolved, because Cher’s attackers are not punished for their hate crime. Neither is Shona condemned for abandoning her child in this instance of labor export from the Philippines, and the effects that it has on the people who must be left. Ruben’s moral and practical dilemma remains unresolved as well.
The lives of three couples: Iza (Assunta de Rossi) and Iñigo (Dominic Ochoa), Kulas (Vhong Navarro) and Joan (Julia Clarete), and Dino (Patrick Garcia) and Faith (Jodi Sta. Maria) deal with objectification, unrequited love, and first sexual experiences, respectively.
The script for the film was selected for the top prize at the first annual Star Cinema Scriptwriting Contest.
The majority of the visual effects were handled by Roadrunner Network, Inc. The titles were handled by Cinemagic. The films were printed by LVN Pictures.
The original film score of the film was composed and conducted by Jesse Lucas.
