"Politics, Art, and Bomba Queens: The Cinema of the Philippines"
POLITICS, ART, AND BOMBA QUEENS: THE CINEMA OF THE PHILIPPINES The Arts 3 (July 1996) by Timothy R White Dept of English Language and Literature National University of Singapore The Philippines is one of the larger film producers in the world, and is also one of the more film-going nations of the world.
