Film and Book

  • One thing that I noticed between the reading and the film was the fact that the book didn’t us any Spanish words. I see this as a good thing because if they only spoke Spanish in the film, then non-Filipinos would think that Filipinos speak that language when they actually speak their native one.
  • I would like to see or read a depiction of a Filipino Muslim character due to the conflict that is going on right now in the Philippines (look up Moro Conflict).
