A review by hon_ey
Kapitan Sino by Bob Ong

3.0

“This should be made into a movie!” was what preoccupied my mind the entire time I was reading this. It will surely click with the Filipino mass of moviegoers, joining the array of comedic superhero movies popular here in the Philippines. Not like the Lastikman, and Enteng Kabisote starring Vic Sotto, nor Ang Panday starring Bong Revilla Jr., but more like the Zsazsa Zathurnnah movie.

You know what I am saying if you have read this, but if you have not yet, well, you can always grab a copy to find out what I mean. The comical opening of the book alone is perfect for the big screen along with other scenarios like the heartfelt conversation of Kapitan Sino and her love interest in the church tower.

As expected of Bob Ong books, Kapitan Sino is oozing with his signature acerbity, and social commentary.
