Movie Review: 2 Valid IDs

2 Valid IDs follows Sylvia, a poor farmer who needs to claim money sent by a relative for the medical treatment of her husband, Ramon, who is suffering from severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). But there’s one problem: she doesn’t have a single valid ID, let alone the required two. What seems like a simple requirement becomes an impossible challenge, forcing Sylvia to seek help from a fixer while dealing with exhausting lines, bureaucracy, hunger, and dwindling resources. As her husband’s condition worsens, Sylvia is pushed to confront the limits of her faith, conscience, and humanity.

Movie Review: Ganggang

Ganggang is a simple but meaningful film that has an important story to tell, especially for those who feel oppressed and those who continue to fight and rebel against the things they believe are wrong. What I appreciate about the film is how it presents these serious issues in a light and accessible way. It does not feel overly heavy or preachy, yet underneath its simple story is a message about oppression, resistance, having a voice, and standing up against those who abuse their power.

Movie Review: Hand of God

Hand of God shines with its message about the victims of war and the division of faith in the southern part of the Philippines. Set in a remote village scarred by years of conflict, the film follows a military lieutenant who sets up a football post to gain the trust of the community. What begins as a tactical strategy eventually becomes deeply personal when he forms a bond with the children, especially ten-year-old Khaleel, a child soldier who finds an unexpected refuge in football.

Movie Review: Tirik

Tirik follows Paring Bert, a weary but steadfast priest, and Santos, a parishioner and taxi driver haunted by his past, as they embark on a gritty journey to make peace with their moral conflicts while trying to elude an assassination attempt. Set against the backdrop of Manila’s unforgiving streets during the height of the drug war, what begins as an ordinary funeral visit turns into a day-long odyssey filled with guilt, redemption, moral reckoning, and questions about faith, justice, and vengeance.
