The Chariot Posted Circles aka Bilog (2005)

Circle is Cris Pablos latest digital indie film that tells stories of Filipinos who pass by the melting point of Quezone city, the Elliptical Road Park or Quezon Memorial Circle.
The story starts off with main character Cris (Archie de Calma) who is riding in a bus along the road when a robbery begins. With a knife pointed at his neck, Cris begins to see his life flash before his eyes. He asks the question ‘what could I have done in the past to save me from this?’ and then the movie unfolds to tell the story of Cris’s life in the days leading up to the robbery.
The movie pans to characters who journey through the same road and mingle with each other, in this seeming inter-connected point. There is Deo, a young attractive farmer, Paolo – a sex worker. Justin – a young sales representative, Migue – a gay student who moon lights as a sex worker by night, and Red – a fellow male gigolo. The movie relates how each of these characters become stakeholders in saving Cris’s life.
