Are they just milking the cow from the then-popularity of Katya Santos? Whatever their motives were during the time, it doesn’t matter now. Keka was made and released for public consumption and gave the few who chose to watch their money’s worth. Offering a plot summary to Keka is not appropriate. The revenge subplot is just a device for the movie like the murder in Robert Altman’s The Player. Just like the Altman movie, this is a dark comedy - a satire with lots of jeers and jabs directed to our current local film industry which is filled with rehashed ideas and tiresome jokes. This is also a potshot to some issues on a nationwide scope.Īllow me to list some of the gibes presented in the film and do my best to offer an explanation or an example to explain its humorous aspect. This is my attempt to explain the greatness of Keka.When Keka and Marco Torres (Bobby Andrews) were having a date dinner, Marco asked what Keka’s job is. Keka told him that she’s working in a call center. Marco associated this kind of job to a mere telephone operator with a clear tinge of mockery and sarcasm. "Sa Iyo Lang ang Puso Ko at iba pang lamang-loob kung nais mo pa" Later when Keka is describing her job, she said she’s helping customer troubleshoot their problems using her “stupid American accent.” This is an obvious jab directed at the call center industry and agents which are sprouting like mushrooms these days.The Showbiz Kachipan segment is clearly inspired by Startalk’s Da Who with their use of gay lingo and annoying voice to report a showbiz-related news which is also cheap and nonsense.The actor being reported was Bobby Domingo (Eigenmann) who plays the lead role in “Sa Iyo Lang ang Puso Ko” with an additional quip that goes like this: at iba pang laman loob kung nais mo pa - a clear mockery of our telenovelas which almost always deal with love with unimaginative titles such as Maging Sino Ka Man and Pangako Sa’Yo becoming household names.ĝuring the scene when Jason (Wendell Ramos) is attempting to propose to her then-girlfriend, she rejected him before he does so.He almost choked to death with an accompanying music provided by the restaurant’s musicians. Hilarious! This has got to be seen by our own eyes because my attempt to describe it doesn’t give it justice.ĝuring the girlfriend search of Jason, he met with a single mom who is breastfeeding her child during the dinner date, an ecstasy addict and a woman deranged with thoughts of salvation - not exactly girls Jason wanted to have.
