It is with great sadness that I write of the tragic death of Alexis Tioseco, my friend and fellow member of NETPAC. Alexis and his girlfriend, Nika Bohinc, were senselessly murdered on September 1 2009, in his house in Manila. And in that, we have lost the most passionate crusader for cinema from the Philippines, and the finest Asian film critic to emerge in the last five years. He was 28 years old.
