Filipinas

Production Company: Viva Films

A typical clan with a striking last name.

Set in the backdrop of social economic turmoil, the family reunites for the wedding of the youngest daughter.

There is a family caretaker, an immigrated son, a military man, a rebellious son and a religious matriarch.

Troubles plague the family and all seems hopeless as they turn on one another.

A study of contemporary society, as it is seen through the perspective of a family heavily affected by the problems that beset the country.

Mano Po (My Family) (2002)

**** Production Company: Regal Films ****

During the Chinese Revolution in 1949, young Chinese copra trader named Fong-Huan marries Elisa, a young and pretty Filipina.

The couple’s children, Daniel and Linda, were raised in a mixture of Chinese and Filipino-Hispanic tradition.

These richly cultured people are the ancestors of a dysfunctional third-generation family whose daughters tell their own stories of joy, struggle, and the complex realities in the life of Filipino Chinese families.
