A 13-minute short film made by Mass Communication students of the University of San Jose-Recoletos in Cebu City has gone viral on You Tube with almost 90,000 views in just four weeks since it was uploaded by its director, Axel Bordario.

The film titled, Love at First Plite was uploaded by Bordario on November 1, 2013 and has since drawn the attention of many Cebuanos prompting the local media to take notice. An article on the student video came out in Cebu Daily News on November 25, 2013.

Bordario said he never expected the film to draw the kind of attention it is now getting. He wrote in his blog he co-authored with his brother John (who also appeared in the movie) that the film's success was just unprecedented.

ARCHITECTURE | Symbols in stone

It was a modern church. I long wanted to write about its remarkable design. And now, I finally have, only that the church has ceased to be modern..

Its pentagonal rendition in the traditional church arch was true to the geometric minimalism of modern architectural design. The previous facade and interior design was devoid of ornamentation. Its columns less emphasized (except in front where a cantilever should have been), its massive concrete beams repeat in consistent pattern, its form derived from its function. (click to visit link)
