    Living in this new generation, it was difficult for me to stay focus on the film. Yet, after few tries of diverting my interests forcefully to watch the film, it had some scenes that will run into your mind. The good thing about the film was it preserved the whole Islamic and Filipino culture. The characters used the dialect spoken in South Cotabato, where the film was shot, as the medium language. There were also few Arabic words, especially in their Sallah or Common Prayer is used. Despite the differences between our religions in the film, the quality of being family-oriented of we rural or urban Filipinos was also shown. These are the waking up early of the members of the family to start working, visiting of relatives even if they are far and saying prayers before eating meals. They also paid a big respect to their Abu or Father. Abus are like the head of the town. Another was how they have their own versions of babaylan. During the open forum, the director itself confessed how he paralleled his life to one of the families from the movie. One character is a balikbayan and he was not able to attend his mother’s funeral just like what happened to Mr. Mangansakan. Lastly, it was interesting to look how and when the…
