I would think these two are names, so no translation needed.

:> Bb Tsuperman -

"Bb" is an abbreviation of "Binibini", which means "Lady" or "Miss".
"Tsuperman" is Tagalog wordplay on "Superman", where "Tsuper" means
"Chauffeur"(sp?).

:> Kara, kaakit-akit - Face how inviting

The word "Kara", although it means "face" when used as a common noun,
i.e. "kara ko" -- "my face", it is probably the name of a person in
this context. So the title will be "Kara, beautiful".

It sounds like Ramadan of the Muslim. Maybe a name of a woman.

Satur Ocampo - a Filipino socialist bigwig? Perhaps a film about his life.

The Gecko in a Cacao Tree

The Professor or Teacher

>Nunal sa Tubig
The Mark of the Water

>Darna ang Pagbalik
The Return of Darna

>Takbo Talon Tili!
Run! Jump! Scream!

>Bb Tsuperman
The Driver

>Patikim ng Pinya
Pineapple's Taste

>Kara, kaakit-akit
Cara, the seductress

>Impaktita
She-Devil
