For screenwriter and
director Alvin Yapan, 2013 had its highs and lows, one low to be precise. In the middle of the year, Yapan offered us the
sensory “Debosyon,” a film that often had to take a back seat to more
publicized films du jour like “Transit,” (our entry to the Oscars) and the
much-hyped “OTJ.” However, unlike the aforementioned films, “Debosyon” has
something much more to offer if only the audience would have the patience to
peer through the layers. Unfortunately, in October, Yapan backpedalled and gave us “Gaydar,” an infuriating cute comedy
that was obviously rushed and meant to reel in more mainstream audience. “Gaydar”
is still entertaining but it made some of us go, “Oh no he didn’t! Damn! Oh yes
he did!” He pertains to Yapan.
