Vivamax: Review of DILIG: Scheming Seduction

February 2, 2024



A year after Katelyn (Dyessa Garcia) lost her mother Donya Alice (Glenda Ledesma), her father Don Serafin (Archie Adamos) announced that he was planning to marry his girlfriend Resa (Rica Gonzales) who had alleged that she was pregnant by the old man. However, in order to really get pregnant, Resa had hook-ups with Dale (JD Aguas), a rich young man who was in love with Katelyn, but whom she friendzoned.

One day, there was a new young man hired to take care of Don Serafin's gardens.  He was known by his nickname Otso (Chad Solano). Apparently that referred to the length of a certain appendage in his body which he claimed tended hurt his ex-girlfriends when he used it. However that did not seem to stop both Katelyn and Resa from seducing the hapless gardener, who could not help but surrender to his masters' whims.  

Like "Room Service" last week, this is another short Vivamax feature film with just a little more than 40 minute running time. This was also released on Tuesday, instead of the usual Friday. Director Christian Paolo Lat is best remembered for his very auspicious feature film directorial debut at the Cinemalaya 2022 with the film "Ginhawa." Vivamax produced his next two feature films -- "Sugar Baby" (2023) and this new one. 

Chad Solano gets the biggest break in his Vivamax career here playing Otso, the man with the 8-inch tool which ladies can't get enough of. He is there to personify the common Joe Vivamax subscriber who can only fantasize about these wealthy beauties fighting over his body. As the conniving and scheming Resa, Rica Gonzales had the more interesting character to play. Poor Dyessa Garcia can't do much with her confusing-written character of Katelyn. 

Rich ladies falling for their brawny help had long been immortalized in books and movies like "Lady Chatterley's Lover."  The motivation to bed Otso was more clearly evident for Resa, who knew about his secret instrument and also had a diabolical plan in mind. However, Katelyn brazenly making the first move on Otso totally came from out of the blue. This fascination of the perfumed set woman with the sweaty unwashed man is pure male fantasy. 1/10
