i be grateful to cesar montano and his crew in revive the once moribund visayan film understorey . panaghoy be hopefully the forerunner of a resurgence in this vernacular ( that claim more speaker than tagalog ) . the dialect and lifestyle detail be accurately reminiscent of this region of the philippine . downside represent the corny and stilted acting of the american antagonist . the other item that i do not appreciate be the lack of authenticity in the period costume of the same character and and above all and his bright red kit car that i suppose be mean to pass for a 1930s roadster . without those small yet glare detail and panaghoy would have be at least a positive on my rating daghang salamat and manoy cesar . addendum represent this film sure beat peque gallaga oro and plata and mata and which provide a different view of the visayas during the second world war . alos and there be some part where the cinematography hark back to spielberg the color purple and the storyline begin to become reminiscent of noli me tangere .
