ERIK MATTI – Director Erik Matti called out award-winning actor John Arcilla and talent agency Star Magic for not mentioning their movie “On The Job: The Missing 8” in their posts.
Erik Matti is an award-winning filmmaker. On the Job (2013), Honor Thy Father (2015), Seklusyon (2016), and BuyBust (2018) are among the films he has directed. His previous directing credits include Ekis (1999), Mano Po 2 (2003), Gagamboy (2004), Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles (2012) and its sequel Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles 2 (2014).
After the Senate citation for John Arcilla’s win at the 78th Venice Film Festival, Matti criticized actor John Arcilla and talent agency Star Magic for failing to acknowledge his film “On The Job: The Lost 8.”
Yesterday, Erik Matti expressed his sentiments on Instagram by posting screenshots of John Arcilla and Star Magic’s Instagram posts.
“Ano kayang movie nakapanalo kay @johnarcilla ng Volpi cup? Ni hindi man lang nila mamention ni @starmagicphils yung movie na nagbigay sa kanya ng parangal? Medyo inexpect ko na yun sa ABS na di magmention kasi nung may prangkisa pa sila ganun na sila e. Pag di pabor sa kanila, dedma. Pero yung mismong artista ng pelikula di man lang ma-mention ang movie?” he wrote.

The Senate passed Resolution 490 on Tuesday, February 22, praising John Arcilla for winning the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the yearly film festival in 2021. Arcilla played Sisoy Salas in the follow-up to the 2013 movie “On The Job.” He is the first actor from the Philippines to get the prestigious award.
Matti went on to say that although he did not mind that the film’s creators were not addressed, he did not like that the movie itself was not mentioned.
“Pwera na kaming mga gumawa, OK lang di masabi pero sana yung movie man lang i-acknowledge. Ang Senado nga ni-recognize mismong movie na pinanalunan mo pero ikaw di mo mamention?”
“Ako na magsasabi, ‘Salamat sa On The Job: The Missing 8′ na movie na binigyan ako ng pagkakataon magawa ang role ni Sisoy Salas na ikinapanalo ko ng Venice Film Festival Volpi Cup award nung 2022.’ Lahat ng sponsor mo sa derma at diet mo minention mo yung [movie na] nagpanalo sayo di mo masabi?!! Bastos kayo!” Matti’s post ended.
