Still, it never fails to amaze me with its diverse collections of masterpieces in all platforms possible, particularly the ones that tackles timely events that are happening in our country. And that brings me to one of the full-length films we chose to watch this year – Ang Guro Kong 'Di Marunong Magbasa (My Teacher Who Doesn't Know How To Read).
For the past couple of years, we are only watching Cinemalaya movies because of the casts and crew, or the movie speaks our language. There were innate factors that affect our decisions, but it did not mean that they weren't great ('cos they're all amazing nevertheless!)
This time, it was different. Nothing of those sort helped us decide what film to watched, so we had a top 3. After reading the synopsis and watching the trailers, we decided to go with this one. One major aspect that gave it a go for us – a raging cry for education. Together with my cousin Mimi and her friend, Em-em, we arrived at CCP Complex, 15 minutes before the show started. We took some selfies before shutting down our phones as the movie is about to start. I will try not to spill out spoilers as I go along and discuss what my thoughts are after watching "Ang Guro
"
The movie if I remembered correctly is more or less than 2 hours. It has full of battles in it, from start to finish, literally and figuratively portrayed. It tackles the current issues our country has to date – corruption in the government, violence against women and children, healthcare, poverty, war and conflict, and most of all, the inaccessibility to education of the children on the remote and war-stricken areas in the Philippines.
