“ROAD TO KALIMUGTONG”

 The film was well directed by Derek Mes de Guzman, and it was a very nice one/. The show was really fun and very realistic. Fun because you can’t actually sleep for the whole hour or let me say you can’t be bored, because the film was so interesting that you can’t get enough to laugh. Maybe one factor of that is because of those characters that portrayed their role. One of this is Jinky and her youngest brother who shwon most of time in various scences. Another are their two brothers called “Tang and Manong” and their grandfather. Though I could say that because of its funny yet learning scenes, it is just so very over acting that most of the characters tend to lose the essence of their character in showing their emotions in a particular scene. The film was so nice not to be serious enough with the lines they have to say. Another is that some scenes are to exaggerated that you can’t seem to be enjoying a lot , though it is happening in real life that we see because of the lack of emotions that must be given out by the character the lines are not properly executed.

            The film is so nice that everyone must see and watch if they really look for a very realistic, simple and nourished the learning of one’s mind. It is realistic because you can see on the clothes, venue, characters in the story are real people who are really experiencing the life or the way of living in Barrio Kalimugtong.

             In their educational system, better facilities, books, school materials and most especially teachers who are capable of teaching the children in barrio Kalimugtong the right and standardized curriculum they need. Even with the medium of language they use in school must be thought properly. The place was so rural that I can’t get enough to pity the children to be learning so much in such case.

The Barrio of Kalimugtong especially those characters who played the role as family living with those kind of life must be thankful enough with the “sayote” and the family that they have. Why? Because if we look into a wider horizon, in  Philippine setting, in the other area, there are lots of poor family who cannot eat enough vegetable to sustain their starving stomach, and sayote is a much help for the family in the film in Barrio Kalimugtong  to eat and plant  sayote as much as they want. What I’m trying to point out is that they can survive in such life and they are more luckier that they can still feed their selves 3X a day compared with other families that cannot even feed their selves because of the poorest life they are encountering that they can’t eat enough meals 3X a day and even suffer from diseases.
