realistic film with good professional camera shots, good use of sound and good acting. I'm european but have worked on a rice field and seen poverty up close in case we needed to go to the big cities. This is what happens there every day. Bloodhounds that prey on people who are desperately seeking a better life and come from places where trust is still something that has value.

A gripping movie into the hunt for a better life as experienced by an unlucky provincial Filipino who hoped to improve life for his family in the Metropole. Eye opener also for Manilenos who from behind the safe comfort of their newly acquired condo might have forgotten about the harsh reality big cities bring upon many.
