[Irish Jean G Casibo]

1. Did you like this film in general? Why?
Yes, Because it discusses issues on the role of women in the society. not only men can lead a family a woman can do it too. I really admire Lea for her principles in life and things that she is fighting for. I like the line "hinding-hindi ko ihihingi ng sorry ang buhay ko" because no matter what had happened she is still standing for her children. I will be proud if i had a mother like her.

2 Did you agree with the main theme/purpose that the film wants to convey? Why or why not?
I agree. Every scene in the movie shows the real status of the society, not only for women who were battered but for the children, effects of having different father might cause jealous or anger between the sibling nad learning to cope up with th situation.

3. What specifically did you like/dislike about the film? Why?
I like the whole film,everything was so significant, I really like when Lea's children need to choose between their mother or their father, they chose their mom.

4. What lesson or insight have you learned from the film?
I've learned so much about life, decison making and livinfg with your principles in life. Do things that you know you'll be happy when you had it.

Yes, great writer, director and actors! I had watched the movie I, thik 3 times and this was the fourt but still it made me cry.

[Bryan M Lupango SY0511]

1. I liked the film for several reasons: first, it was my first time to watch the movie( oh my, for Christ's sake, how old are you Bryan!!),second, the message of the movie was vividly showed throughout the entire movie, which made me shred two drops of tears, and lastly, I was astounded and awed on how Vilma, her kids, her husbands and the rest played their roles with full of art and realism. I enjoyed the film, very much...
2. I certainly agree on how the film was made, its theme and purpose it wants to convey for behind those ill-sickening and foul words used especially when the adult casts have conflicts, is the reality that we live in a cruel word, and one way to uplift the situation is to use it as an art and as way to educate the minds of the viewers. The purpose of the film, should not be criticized by the conservatives for all the movie has was truth and reality in the modern Filipino society.
3.All in all, I praise the film. There is nothing in particular I disgrace about it. All was shown was art...literature...and truth...
4.I became more open -minded about the the feelings of a woman, not because she is a woman, but because she is my fellow human..Women are not men's property, but they are your mother, your sister, your wife, your equal. I have learned to value them more, all because of this film.
5.All the people who wrote the film, behind the film, played roles in the film, and showed me the film in classroom(sir,,additional points..) really did a great job in the film. Making a film that can give a big impact to a person's soul is a rare thing to happen so I salute all of them for being part of it.
6. Practically, you cannot change the movie anymore...it is finished.Hehe..Assuming as we all assume that I'm the only one that can edit the film(self-centered!), I'll suggest some scenes of great drama to empasize the title, like more conflicts between the mother and the children, but of course in the end their will be a resolution.That's all.

[Gamas Lovely S MC0712]

1. Yup! I like the film {but I just snobbed it when it was being showed in the theaters}. So simple, yet enjoyable.

2. I do agree on the theme of the film. It's a mirror that reflects the true happenings in this crazy round world.

3. Love the way Lea say what's on her mind! Soo... feminine, hahahaha!

4. Marriage is more harder than you thought, especially when the time comes that you must end the relationship; the pressures are more on the children

5.Of course they did well! They all did a magnificent job! If not, then the film would not be the way it should be.

6. Uhm.. zipper lips... no need to edit, it's okay for me

[Kimberly Charmaine G Araya]

]1.) yes , i like the film because it shows a real person, a real mother and what some of the people around us are facing

2.) yes, because it made me realize that those kind of things really happen and thats the reality of life.

3.) I like the idea of a women standing for what she knows is right and fighting for her children, i dont like how women are misjudge specially by society if they dont act as to what culture impost they should.

4.) I've learned that we should learn from our mistakes and not condemn ourselves for making them because we are only humans and making mistakes is part of our nature but letting those mistakes take over ourlives or standing after falling down makes the difference

5.)they certainly did... its a great movie... and no one can play the roles and write the novel htan them...

6.)Nah... nithing really, its great as it is... [/color]
