Panaghóy sa subâ: The Call of the River

Panaghoy speaks of patriotism, of loving, of living...

If people in Manila cannot appreciate the movie in its entirety, then I would say they don't know what's a good movie.

The movie serves as inspirational kinda thing for those who have deep appreciation of nature, history. It can appeal to symbols, to metaphors triggering many down to earth creations of mankind.

The scenery does not only speak of Bohol, a virgin place to behold, but it also allows us to see the Philippines in its entirety.

Behold the mountains, and the nature that adds to the local color of the scenes.

The characters are magnitude in themselves because they portrayed a reason of living life and continue to go on amidst difficulties. But this situation speaks of simplicity and humility, of grace of character of candidness....

One should see Panaghoy. You will not only appreciate the artists as performers, you will also appreciate the artist as creators.

Thank you Cesar for making sense in producing movies that are worthwhile.
