DUBAI loves Filipinos not as domestic helps but mostly as executives and supervisors, sales people, waiters, and at the very least as company drivers. That’s according to filmmaker Rory Quintos who just shot a movie there starring Aga Muhlach, Claudine Barretto and John Lloyd Cruz. Produced by Star Cinema, the movie is simply titled Dubai.
“We were there for almost a month, and I never met any Pinoy there working as a domestic helper. I also never met one complaining about being exploited and harassed by his employer,” Quintos says. Years ago, she shot a movie in Hong Kong about Pinoy domestic helps starring Vilma Santos, Amy Austria and Gina Alajar—all playing unhappy housemaids. The movie was entitled Anak.
Dubai scriptwriters Ricky Lee and Shaira Salvador insist they interviewed hundreds of Pinoy workers there before they sat down to write their screenplay. Aga and JOHN LLOYD portray the brothers who fall for the woman portrayed by Claudine. Since they are already earning enough from their white-collar jobs, they have more than enough time for love.
It’s their first team up as a trio, though Dubai is already Aga’s and Claudine’s second pairing, the first being in Kailangan Kita about three years ago and they shot only in several areas in the Bicol region. John Lloyd is younger than Claudine and Aga in age and acting experience, but both were impressed by the young man’s acting ability and professionalism. Both agree that John Lloyd is the hottest actor in his batch of young stars taken in by ABS-CBN’s Star Magic.
All three actors enjoyed filming in Dubai, but Quintos seems to have been the most impressed about the place, its beauty and its peacefulness, that she now says if ever she would have to work and live abroad for good, she would choose Dubai. “And there really are Pinoys who have been living there for 20 years or more, have brought their families there–and don’t have plans to ever return to the Philippines for good,” says Quintos who is happily and profitably employed in Star Cinema and on ABS-CBN 2.
Dubai is slated to be shown in the Philippines on September 27. It will be shown in Dubai and other foreign lands where there are Filipino communities. Phoemela Baranda and Pokwang are also in the movie, though it’s only the latter who has scenes in Dubai as Phoemela’s role as Aga’s girlfriend is left in the Philippines.

Dubai’s undeveloped film trade poses challenge to ‘direk’ Rory Source : Tempo Online
FILMMAKER Rory B. Quintos has fallen in love with Dubai. After spending a month in there, filming her latest movie for Star Cinema, direk Rory reveals, she would like to migrate to the city, located in the United Arab Emirates.
The movie, a romance-drama titled "Dubai," casts Aga Muhlach, Claudine Barretto, and John Lloyd Cruz in the title roles. The screenplay is a Ricky Lee-Shaira Mella Salvador collaboration. It opens worldwide on Sept. 28 in Dubai; Milan, Italy; San Francisco; Vancouver, Canada; Vienna, Austria; Hawaii; Saipan; Guam; and in 100 theaters nationwide in the Philippines.
According to direk Rory, her latest obra intends to open the eyes of the movie-going public to the beauty of Dubai as a city; to OFWs as portrayed in a different light – not as domestic helpers but professionals like lawyers, teachers, engineers, among others; and to our loved ones whom we tend to take for granted as we go about our day to day existence.
Direk Rory found out that Dubai has not, to date, developed its own film industry and expressed a keen interest to be actively involved in facilitating its growth. "Fantasy ko nga ’yung may magsabi from their end, ‘O ’yan, get the group (her ‘Dubai’ team) and let’s start a film industry here.’"
And since Dubai has no film industry to speak of, the availability of film equip-ment became one of the major problems encountered by her crew in doing the movie. Most of the time, they had to rely on their resourcefulness and improvise tools and gadgets to use for the shoots.
Not only that. Direk Rory found out that Dubai is everything that the Philippines is not.
"I love my Philippines," she states, "but when you live in a country for a month and you see what life should be like, why, you’d really like to stay there. In Dubai there’s no crime. People pay taxes and you are certain they (taxes) are put to good use. Progress is all around you. Everybody’s working for the good of tomorrow. They have the vision of a ruler; there are no greedy senators and cong-ressmen who steal from the people. Government works for the good of the peo-ple. Women feel so safe. You can walk the streets at 2 a.m. and nobody will harm you. People are so honest; you can leave your bag in one place and return for it and it’ll still be there exactly where you left it."
Star Cinema tells more of "Dubai." Its title alone already speaks so much of the affinity Pinoys have with the city in the Middle East. Dubai has now become one of the new cosmopolitans for Pinoys to make their dreams come true. An urban melting pot where Filipinos go to for employment. This means "Dubai" is not only a movie Pinoys can relate to. It is Star Cinema’s fulfillment of a promise – a movie that features the lives of Pinoys in Dubai. Like many of Star Cinema’s classics, "Dubai" features wondrous locations that enhance the beauty of its stories. "Dubai" is set to become unfor-gettable with the lines of marvelous skyscrapers in Shiek Zayed and Al Ain cities, the trademark camels, and the immea-surable Sand Dunes, the mountain-like desert land that happens to be one of the most important landmarks of Dubai and the Middle East.
It wasn’t easy capturing the Sand Dunes on screen, direk Rory adds. "The Sand Dunes would start at 3 p.m. lasting until 6 p.m., te-tiyempuhan mo, and it took us three afternoons to shoot."
All told, Dubai has fulfilled the dreams of countless Filipinos, let us hope it does Rory B. Quintos’ and satisfy her adventurous spirit.

I have a feeling this movie might do better than Milan kasi in Milan the story is about the struggles of the Pinoy domestic workers do'n. Sa Dubai, the movie shows the side of the more successful Pinoy workers who's only worry is their personal drama. Me personally I can't watch anymore movies about domestic Pinoy workers. Masyadong masakit sa dibdib. Gusto ko naman iyong happy movie.
