Outstanding, Touching and Powerful

Liway (2019)

A biographical film written and directed by Kip Oebanda, who was born, and spent his first years, in a detention camp that housed NPA (New People's Army) rebels, during the last few years of the Marcos regime.

Kip was born in Camp Delgado to captured rebel leader Commander Liway and her captured husband, Commander Toto. The story is told from Kip's perspective.

Commander Liway was played to perfection by Glaiza de Castro. Young Kip was played by child actor Kenken Nuyad.

Riveting and touching drama. Highly recommended. The movie is currently rated a high 8.3 on IMDb. The movie picked up 3 FAP Awards for Best Actress, Screenplay, and Editing. It picked up another 3 awards at the Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival. Kenken Nuyad won a Star Award for Best Child Performer.
