Mayohan (2010)


**** Production Company: Alpha Dog Productions / Cinemalaya Inc. ****

Dan Villegas's Mayohan (Maytime) tells the story of Nino, a city boy who retreats to the provincial town of Infanta for the summer with his aunt. There, he meets Lilibeth, a pretty lass who is soliciting money from the town's male populace for the Mayohan, a unique ball that happens at the end of the month of May where the town's single ladies are lined up for the men who will invite them for a night of dancing and other merriment. Nino, whose parents were killed in a vehicular accident that left him with a noticeable limp, mustr adjus to the laidback lifestyle the province which usually involves daily strolls and nightly prayer sessions as well as his own coming-of-age. Enamored with Lilibeth, Nino readies himself for the ball where he, along with the rest of the town's male populace, would have to compete for a chance at igniting a summer romance.
