REBYU: APARISYON(VINCENT SANDOVAL), ANG DAYO(JULIUS CENA), BWAKAW(JUN LANA)

APARISYON (Vincent Sandoval)
Tweetnopsis: Sister Lourdes.Pre-martial law.Sis Remy's brother abducted.Convent deaf of the outside world. Nuns pray, the world around them, violent.
Afterthoughts:
However, the film is not mainly about the Martial Law - though the issues surrounding that historical period was embedded in how Sister Remy (Mylene Dizon) and her family coped with the disappearance of her brother. The film is about the rapture of Sister Lourdes (Jodi Sta. Maria), her untimely pregnancy, and how the nuns, cloaked in confinement inside their convent, deal with the controversy.
In that, the events could have happened in the current setting although the Martial Law period may have been chosen as the backdrop for historical appeal. And I did not necessarily comprehend how the film ended, on whether it was a deliberate cliffhanger or not.
Favorite:
The scenes were confined only to the vicinity of the convent and the concrete jungle where the convent is located. It restricts the audience from taking a glimpse of the "outside world" and allows them to view that world within the confines of a distant convent.

MGA DAYO (Julius Cena)
Tweetnopsis:Resident card. Green card. Ano-ano ang kwento ng mga pasaporteng ito? Mga susi palabas ng bansa, mga pinto sa pinangakong lupa.
Afterthoughts:

I personally chose this movie because the thought of migrating to a foreign land has been bugging my mind lately. And I hoped that the movie would provide me with answers to my personal questions. However, I left the theater with the same questions at hand, unanswered. 

"Mga Dayo" tries to portray a day-in-a-life storyline of three Filipino immigrants and their struggles to obtain their respective green cards. However, the narratives of the three female leads were underdeveloped. The audience cannot fully understand the immigration stories in one complete grasp. Kulang ang pagkatagpi-tagpi ng istorya. 

Favorite:

The postponed wedding.

BWAKAW (Jun Lana )
Tweetnopsis:Rene,75,came out out of the closet five years ago.When his dog Bwakaw falls ill,he unexpectedly meets Sol and finds joy in his old gay life.
Afterthoughts:
My initial thoughts on how the film will interpret the life of Rene (Eddie Garcia), a gay man in his seventees, centered on the melancholic portrayal. However, "Bwakaw" narrates Rene's life in a rather unexpected light-hearted manner, with humor placed to twist the sad and inevitable circumstances the lead character has to face everyday - the lonely bed shared with a supposedly miraculous religious image, a lack of companionship  save for his dog and some neighborhood acquaintances, and the constant changes Rene makes with his informal last will and testament.
The film is recommended for all single people - both man and woman, gay and straight. It is a movie of reflection that allows the community to contemplate the personal choices we make in our single lives and in our search for long-term companionship - that the golden years are a product of the decisions we make today. 
Favorite:
The house as a representation of Rene - old, grumpy but hidden with colorful secrets.
