buwis buhay (risk life)

A production that aims to capture reality, 'Buwis buhay' is a documented narrative of 6 'taong grasas' who wandered around a place they were never seen before. As we all expect, rejection and continuous bashing would welcome these 6 unfamiliar people trying to shake this community by going into crowded places. But, what if they speak in English, they talk sense, they have money, they know their rights, they smell good (but they are greasy)? would you talk to them? would you accept them if they were more than how they looked like? are you aware of the current issues more than they do? Poverty is everywhere, and these wanderers will embody its irony. These "taong grasas" will disrupt the 'Aphrodite' and Narcissus' in the minds of people, and will show us how to live life to its fullest, and risk it just to survive.

a documented reality on poverty, beauty, and fun.

live life, risk life.

buwis buhay.

I have watched your video after seeing the URL you posted in the group about frozen viewcounts. This video is still stuck at 338 and here is your proof that it is stuck through no fault of your own:

I have watched this video twice. It's a good video too.

Since our vids viewcountsmeter has gone outer space and we dont know yet when it will go back to earth, the group would really appreciate ratings and comments from you! :-D View counts will be hopefully updated ahm this week, or worse next month. But still, if you love our vid, watch it and spread it! Thank you very much for all the support! :-D
