The San Diego Mission arrives in the Marianas where the young Pedro, a trained catechist and mission assistant, begins work for Fr. Diego de San Vitores in baptizing the Chamorro natives, preaching the holy gospel and spreading the good news of salvation through the Christian faith amidst paganism, doubt and disbelief.
Despite the longing for his father and the threats to their lives, even at the peril of death, Pedro and Fr. Diego continued their missionary work. They roamed the dangerous islands and baptized many more natives and continued to enlighten them about Christianity.
An educational film about about our second saint Pedro Calungsod. The film is good take of looking back to our own history about Spanish colonization teaching our natives Catholicism. This is a good material to spread awareness for the life of our second saint.
Technicalities of the film is quite average. Roco Nacino delivers an under acting here effectively. Christian Vasquez and the rest of the casts are good as well. This is a film that we may consider watching because it's about our history and it shows the life of one of the important person in Roman Catholic world that represents our country.
My Verdict: 3/5
