Notes:

I just hope this gets elected as Philippines' entry to the Oscars 2014. Excellent story and screenplay, editing, sound, visuals, and cinematography. Joel Torre shines and deserves a trophy for his portrayal. Likewise, Joey Marquez should earn a recognition for his drama. The rest of the main characters were delivered in a mediocare/pretentious/spirit-less acting. Nevertheless, this movie is something Filipinos should be proud of. We deserve more Filipino movies of this quality. Great job Director Erik Matti!
