Hindi bagay si guy Sa girl. Not in physical looks ha. Kasi Sa side Ng lalaki mauubos lng sya Kay girl. Emotional and financially. Masydo magulo ung buhay Ng girl. However, gets ko ung last line ni guy na gusto Kita kasama Sa huli, maka sabay sayu. Same with the girl. Sabi nga wala mahirap sa nag tu-tulungan.

Watching that movie reminded me of my time back in the 1970s in Mexico, both culturally similar and with poverty as a common denominator. The only difference was the time. I have seen many Filipino movies with my wife, and only watch them just to pass the time. But to my surprise, I found in this film a well-written screenplay and well-played actors, with a compelling story that unveils the harsh reality of living in poverty, in a mixture that involves romance with the drama in a well-balanced manner. The only thing that stopped me from rating with 10 but with 9 instead was the bad photography editing that sometimes takes away that needed environment in a story.

This movie was well made. It was incredibly realistic, and it felt like I was watching real people living their lives, not actors. The script was well-written, unlike the usual Filipino melodramatic writing that we always see in films. This movie deserves to win the MMFF Best Actor and Best Actress awards, as it showcased the cast's acting skills. Some people may criticize the film due to Carlo's previous relationship issues. However, they should focus on the movie itself, which I rate 9/10. It's worth watching, especially if you have experienced living in Manila. The film accurately portrays the struggles that many Filipinos face daily, and it's a great reminder of how important it is to stay resilient in the face of adversity. Kudos to Carlo, Charlie, the other cast members, and the rest of the crew who made this movie possible. The attention to detail in every scene is commendable, and I appreciate their effort to make the movie as authentic as possible. This movie will inspire other filmmakers to create more films like this, entertaining and educating the audience about life's realities. Keep up the great work!
