Biography from TheMovieDB

ONYL started as a young actor for Dulaang Sibol and baritone soloist for the world-renowned Ateneo Glee Club. After finishing his AB Political Science, he pursued further studies in choral conducting at the UP College of Music and Asian Institute for Liturgy and Music. He made his professional theater debut at Repertory Philippines’ CINDERELLA in 2001 and has since become a sought-after performing artist for stage and television; and music director-vocal coach for summer workshops, musical plays, and corporate events. He was the man behind the success of the Peninsula Manila's Sing@Ning: Search for the Ultimate Voice; and was a Nominee for Best Musical Director for Repertory Philippines' JEKYLL AND HYDE and THE PRODUCERS at the 2012 and 2013 Gawad Buhay!, and Finalist for Best Musical Direction for Gantimpala Theater Foundation's SANDOSENANG SAPATOS at the 2014 Aliw Awards. Recently, Onyl made his independent film debut in the 2014 Gawad Urian nominated Cinema One Original movie directed by Benjie Garcia, the PHILIPPINO STORY; and thereafter, landed a role in the film version of Herlyn Alegre's critically-acclaimed Virgin Labfest play, IMBISIBOL, directed by the multi-awarded Lawrence Fajardo, to be premiered at the 1st Sinag Film Festival this March 2015. He will be next seen performing onstage for The 4th Wall Theatre Co.'s SINGAPURA: THE MUSICAL directed by Broadway luminary Greg Ganakas, opening this May 2015 Singapore's Capitol Theatre. At present, he is managing partner for Upstart Productions; guest conductor of Manila String Machine Orchestra; and artistic board member of the Philippine Choral Directors Association.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
