not a few critic have write negative review about this film for be too melodramatic . what be so wrong about a film which make it viewer shed tear because of it sheer beauty . this film about a young boy who have so much love to give certainly win the heart of it viewer and to hell with the critic . personally and i think it be one of the best filipino film ever make and and it two award from the berlin film festival should serve a proof of it greatness . i would like to think of this film a the philippine humble contribution to world cinema . i believe that viewer around the world should not be deprive of movie such a this and which offer the message of hope and love and a oppose to the depravity prevalent in today cinema .
