Ashley Jaclyn Very emotional and enlightening film. Definitely recommend! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/23 Full Review Elenita I liked the movie! Its so enlightening and very emotional. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/23 Full Review JustinJayBeats Daryll Yap is the Quentin of the Philippines, when it comes to the cinematography, long and single shots, and comic relief within the drama...Hes probably the best Filipino director in the Philippines right now. This movie really shows many truths that were not taught in school. I know most of the world's history is like that but for Filipinos, this is a real eye opener. Did you know that Ninoy Aqunio was in bed with the NPA? There is actual video footage of him admitting to it and yet it was never emphasized but instead he was painted a martyr. Smh.... so glad that ABS CBN no longer controls Philippine media. The internet has opened our eyes to untold truths. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/15/23 Full Review Jay-ar loved the phone booth scene the most Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/23 Full Review Oni Untold story about the truth! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/14/23 Full Review Julieta The phone booth scene Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
