The Tribe of Jesus in the Philippines' Own Hollywood
When Jesus Christ auditioned in the Philippines,
agents and producers ostracized his tryout pieces
instead, they went on to create films, TV shows,
and documentaries with Judas Iscariot and Poncius Pilate
Simon Peter tried to play an eccentric cameo role
yet Mary Magdalene starred in sci-fi and magic realism
Delilah washed dishes in a barangay in Taguig
all the broken plates, glasses, and dreams
Mary of Nazareth composed a plethora of songs
while Ruth and Rachel practiced their instruments
as Paul built a bestselling literary career,
manuscripts of disasters, chaos, and mayhem
Abraham would soon visit Moses' tapings
Noah translated and localized the subtitles
Jacob and Isaac created the film's sound effects
as the superlative cinematography wows the critics
Would there be a chiaroscuro once Deborah
portray her role with lights, shadows, and such?
Who would write a capsule review once it airs in Cebu?
Will it be Doubting Thomas, or will he even try?
Who would direct this grand motion picture?
Is the Philippines the Hollywood of dreams and desires?
