Not all gay movies need to have skin and sex. Here’s a gay movie that attempts to bust the stereotype — watch its premier on Thursday, 28 August 2008 at the UP Cine Adarna (formerly UP Film Center), 6:30 pm. Written and Directed by Charliebebs Gohetia.
“The ‘Thank You’ Girls” is a Visayan film with a gay lingo twist.
Tired of losing in all the beauty competitions in Davao City, five dysfunctional gay beauty pageant veterans decide to travel north to Cagayan de Oro City, in the island of Mindanao.
Their mission: to conquer the grandest competition of beauty, personality and brains in the whole province.
They believe that being city dwellers, gays in the province will never stand a chance against them.

Good luck sa ‘The Thank You Girls’ especially kay Direk Bebs. Sana talunin nito sa box office ‘The Dark Knight’. Suportahan po natin ang TYG. That’s all.

To Wong Foo: To Julie Newmar, With Love (did i get the title right?)
This sounds a lot like that film where Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo play drag queens on a trip to the a state where the Ms. Gay American will be held. “You are not queen, you are merely princess…”
But I hope this is something even better.

This movie feels & looks very much like a combination / rip-off of the other gay-themed films ‘Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’ & ‘To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar.’ But then, nice effort in using a local dialect. Hope something more original will come by.
