[Editor’s Note: To celebrate the all-Filipino movie channel’s 17th anniversary, PBO organized the Digitally Enhanced Film Festival this August. Every Saturday, enjoy digitally enhanced versions of some of your favorite Filipino films. Below is their press release.]

PBO (Pinoy Box Office), the pioneer in the 24-hour all-Filipino movie channel on cable TV since 2003, is also the ^*No. 1 Movie Cable Channel in the Philippines. 

Hailed for showcasing the latest blockbuster movies and timeless classics, either produced exclusively by Viva Films or co-produced with other big movie outfits – like Star Cinema, Spring Films, and FPJ Productions, to name a few – it also features original productions and special events.

To mark its 17th anniversary this August, PBO proudly presents Digitally Enhanced Film Fest every Saturday of this month at 9:30 PM.

After the airing last August 1 of Bagets – the highly-successful coming-of-age movie of Aga Muhlach, William Martinez, Raymond Lauchengco, JC Bonnin, and Herbert Bautista – PBO’s Digitally Enhanced Film Fest resumes on August 8, with Maging Sino Ka Man, the first movie collaboration of Sharon Cuneta and Robin Padilla.

The Megastar plays a famous singer whose life is in danger. Assuming a new identity, she crosses paths with a petty thief – played by the Bad Boy of Philippine cinema – who welcomes her into his home, which also includes six orphaned children. 

On August 15, digitally enhanced Darna, Ang Pagbabalik is sure to look fantastic with Anjanette Abayari as the heroine. This 14th version of Mars Ravelo’s Darna revolves around the disaster brought by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo as Narda fights to recover her magic stone to be the hero that the people badly need.

Anak ni Baby Ama on August 22 is another movie where Robin Padilla stars. The box office hit in the ’90s is a fictional account of the what-might-have-been for the son of Baby Ama, a real-life hoodlum electrocuted in the ’60s. Burdened with the awful legacy of his father, will he end up just like him?

PBO Digitally Enhanced Film Fest culminates on August 29 with Working Girls, directed by Ishmael Bernal. Starring Hilda Koronel, Chanda Romero, Gina Pareño, Rio Locsin, and Carmi Martin, this movie tackles women’s issues, such as discrimination in the office, dealing with their husbands’ ego, trying to make ends meet, and accidental pregnancy.

For topnotch Pinoy entertainment 24/7, it can only be PBO – Pinoy Box Office.

Seen in over 250+ key cities and municipalities nationwide, with 400 Pay-TV operators, 23M individuals in 5.7M households, thus making up 92.5% of the Pay-TV population, PBO is indeed the most wanted movie channel in the country.
