Hello! I'm Prod Intern Franz, here at Astbury Makati right now for the last day of "All Of The Noise" event by The Rest Is Noise PH.

Part of the program was a screening of the 2012 documentary "Jingle Lang Ang Pahina," with the talkback session attended by its director Chuck Escasa, former Jingle Magazine writers Jing Garcia and Tony Maghirang, and Direk Chuck's wife/film's editor Aimee Apostol-Escasa. The discussion revolved around the in-depth personal and cultural significance of the publication to music and pop culture, the struggle of releasing the film on streaming platforms due to music licensing, and Direk Chuck's plans of remastering and expanding the documentary about Jingle Magazine.
