    Christian discusses Filipino movies, encouraging viewers to watch them before exploring his breakdown, which contains spoilers. He introduces the 1976 film "Kanitohamino" by Abby Romero, set during Spanish colonization. The story follows Nicolas, a naive man discovering his identity amidst colonial interactions. Initially, Nicolas loses his home and travels with a deceitful priest, padre Hill, leading him into complicated situations involving soldiers and new acquaintances. His naivety and encounters with colonial oppressors highlight the era's socio-political themes.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    As Nicolas and Bindoy continue to Manila, they meet Lim, who helps them understand Manila's diversity amidst colonial rule. Despite being born in the Philippines, locals struggle with identity, given the influences of Chinese, Americans, and Spaniards. Upon arrival, they're arrested, but thanks to Padre Hill's influence, Nicolas gets involved in business. As time passes, Nicolas becomes educated but confused about his Filipino identity, exemplified during a party where Spanish attendees claimed to be true Filipinos. Throughout, Nicolas' lack of understanding of his roots reflects the colonial identity crisis.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    Nicolas' romantic entanglement with Diding struggles as she pursues an acting career with attorney Lena's dubious support. Despite setbacks, Nicolas tries to navigate love while facing societal changes, driven by revolutionary activities against Spaniards. The story parallels Nicolas’ personal growth with the nation's fight for identity, amidst complex interpersonal dynamics and revolutionary fervor. His journey with Addion leads to confrontations and realizations about trust and personal ambitions, further baffling his identity journey.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:21:57

    Ultimately, Nicolas decides to embrace his identity actively by joining the Filipino revolutionary movement, transcending his initial naivety. Betrayed by close ones and disillusioned by the colonial power play, he chooses to fight for the true essence of being a Filipino. His story ends with a vision of awakening and empowerment as he urges future generations to recognize their identity, implied by his introspective journey and symbolic realizations about personal worth and national pride, emphasizing the impact and legacy of colonialism.

  • 00:01:58
    convent
  • 00:01:59
    the priest that betrayed him is you
  • 00:02:01
    could say lying in bed but jessica
  • 00:02:03
    hating he's just laying there but yeah
  • 00:02:05
    he lies to his fellow priests that kulas

    really kidnap him but he is a good guy
  • 00:02:10
    after all he offers him food but also
  • 00:02:12
    forgives him for his sins this is also
  • 00:02:14
    the time he introduces himself to kolas
  • 00:02:17
    that he is padre hill and that he has a
  • 00:02:19
    six-year-old son and the task is to
  • 00:02:21
    deliver his son to manila but first he
  • 00:02:24
    must retrieve the boy from another place
  • 00:02:26
    kulas traveled to where the place is and
  • 00:02:28
    confronted by soldiers but he doesn't
  • 00:02:30
    know that he is a noir with the spaniard
  • 00:02:32
    so he'll look for bindoy the son of the
  • 00:02:34
    priest they acknowledge that he is not
  • 00:02:36
    an enemy and pointed where bindoy is at
  • 00:02:38
    the first meeting you can feel their
  • 00:02:40
    brotherhood connection to each other
  • 00:02:42
    along the way they talked to each other
  • 00:02:44
    and saw some performers with their cards
  • 00:02:45
    stuck beside the road we introduced mr
  • 00:02:48
    atong he is the manager of this group
  • 00:02:50
    kulas helps them by checking both wheels
  • 00:02:52
    only to find some wood stuck in them
  • 00:02:54
    kulas heard them saying that they are
  • 00:02:56
    traveling to manila so they decided to
  • 00:02:58
    join them on their travel but this woman
  • 00:03:00
    her name is didling she is the daughter
  • 00:03:02
    of mr atong she interrupts them to say
  • 00:03:05
    that before going there they must still
  • 00:03:07
    perform to a different town collapse
  • 00:03:09
    falls and that is the time kulas fell in
  • 00:03:11
    love anyway we transitioned to a
  • 00:03:13
    performance led by the crew while
  • 00:03:15
    performing class got carried away by the
  • 00:03:17
    performance of deeding and her father he
  • 00:03:19
    then takes the spotlight the morning
  • 00:03:21
    after that they are in a river resting
  • 00:03:23
    and mr atong is giving them speeches of
  • 00:03:26
    what a filipino is he says that we
  • 00:03:28
    filipinos united in thought in feeling
  • 00:03:30
    and indeed but the whole crew is being
  • 00:03:33
    irresponsible because whenever they saw
  • 00:03:34
    a lake they always rest i don't know if
  • 00:03:37
    that makes sense but yeah kolas is
  • 00:03:39
    stunned by leading and approaches to
  • 00:03:41
    tell her that her performance yesterday
  • 00:03:43
    was outstanding
  • 00:03:44
    but leading is not satisfied she has
  • 00:03:47
    this dream of being an actress famous to
  • 00:03:49
    the whole universe
  • 00:03:51
    well guess what she is miss universe
  • 00:03:52
    1969. anyway as percules well he has
  • 00:03:56
    none because he didn't go to school and
  • 00:03:58
    also he's still naive and doesn't bother
  • 00:04:00
    of his future momentarily as they travel
  • 00:04:03
    along the way they saw some spanish
  • 00:04:05
    soldiers so they hide because the crew
  • 00:04:07
    thinks that they are in danger but
  • 00:04:09
    instead the soldiers ignore them the
  • 00:04:11
    crew just leaves everything behind
  • 00:04:12
    including their horses when they arrive
  • 00:04:14
    at the nearby town they saw that the
  • 00:04:16
    spanish forces have been driven out by
  • 00:04:18
    the filipinos the soldiers before are
  • 00:04:21
    retreating that's why they just ignored
  • 00:04:23
    them so they just rejoice that they are
  • 00:04:25
    now finally free but before going back
  • 00:04:27
    to their card a filipina soldier
  • 00:04:29
    recognized their manager as commander
  • 00:04:31
    for tinato happily as a spy of the
  • 00:04:34
    spaniards because before the brother of
  • 00:04:36
    the soldier died because fortunato sold
  • 00:04:39
    his brother to the spaniards so they
  • 00:04:41
    arrest portonato and the group later
  • 00:04:43
    that evening the filipino soldiers
  • 00:04:45
    investigated them and found that they
  • 00:04:47
    are innocent so they only took fortunato
  • 00:04:50
    and as for leading the filipino soldier
  • 00:04:52
    still needs to investigate her yeah they
  • 00:04:54
    just going to take advantage of her
  • 00:04:56
    kulas wants to wait for her but tiding
  • 00:04:58
    wants him to go and this upsets golas so
  • 00:05:01
    kulas and bindoy decided to proceed with
  • 00:05:03
    their journey to manila the morning
  • 00:05:05
    after that they saw some filipino
  • 00:05:07
    soldiers along with chinese men the
  • 00:05:09
    soldiers confiscated their supplies and
  • 00:05:11
    kulas met this chinese man his name is
  • 00:05:14
    lim kulas wants to know where to find
  • 00:05:16
    manila but at first lim denied him but
  • 00:05:19
    still he helps kolasin bin loi to travel
  • 00:05:22
    to manila the morning after that they
  • 00:05:24
    talk about that manila is a chaotic town
  • 00:05:26
    because different people live there at
  • 00:05:28
    that time from spaniards chappin
  • 00:05:31
    japanese japanese
  • 00:05:33
    from spaniards chinese and americans
  • 00:05:36
    class is bothered because why are there
  • 00:05:38
    no filipinos he remembered that mr atong
  • 00:05:41
    is always saying that filipino born in
  • 00:05:43
    the philippines are the real filipinos
  • 00:05:45
    lim says that he is also a filipino
  • 00:05:47
    because she also was born in the
  • 00:05:48
    philippines class jokes about it that he
  • 00:05:51
    clearly looks chinese lim has this
  • 00:05:52
    positive view that there is no
  • 00:05:54
    difference between them whoever was born
  • 00:05:56
    in the philippines has no money and that
  • 00:05:58
    life is exactly the same for each and
  • 00:06:00
    every one of them they finally arrive in
  • 00:06:02
    vanilla they meet the family of mr din
  • 00:06:05
    and proceed to wear the convent of padre
  • 00:06:07
    hill but when they ask where to find
  • 00:06:09
    padre hill to deliver bintoy they just
  • 00:06:11
    arrest him in the prison class observed
  • 00:06:14
    some prisoners talking about how they
  • 00:06:16
    treat filipino even if they are innocent
  • 00:06:18
    they just delivered them to the prison
  • 00:06:20
    without knowing another man was brought
  • 00:06:22
    to the prison his name is another balto
  • 00:06:25
    and he has a plan to escape kulas
  • 00:06:28
    doesn't even know that the people there
  • 00:06:29
    are revolutionaries against the spanish
  • 00:06:31
    forces kulas didn't really bother you
  • 00:06:33
    know the morning after that they
  • 00:06:35
    released collapse and afraid is curious
  • 00:06:37
    about kulas kulas was sent to the office
  • 00:06:39
    to talk to this man his name is attorney
  • 00:06:41
    tibor laines he is the attorney of padre
  • 00:06:44
    hill she asks if he will say anything
  • 00:06:46
    about padre hill colas denied all of his
  • 00:06:49
    questions and that's why patrick hill
  • 00:06:51
    chose him and was right in trusting him
  • 00:06:53
    with bin doy and because of that he is a
  • 00:06:55
    rich man now
  • 00:06:56
    later that day they travel to the house
  • 00:06:58
    of padre hill to tell us that the house
  • 00:07:00
    is now in his ownership padre hill
  • 00:07:02
    introduces him to the housemaid named
  • 00:07:04
    congorja concordia doesn't like him
  • 00:07:07
    because badger hill trusts a native
  • 00:07:09
    person padre hill explains to holas his
  • 00:07:11
    plan first he will give his share to the
  • 00:07:13
    tobacco business and guide bungoy until
  • 00:07:16
    he is a grown man to take over the
  • 00:07:18
    business and also live with him in spain
  • 00:07:20
    and as for tibor lanez he will guide
  • 00:07:21
    glass in handling his business and we
  • 00:07:24
    see here how bindoy doesn't acknowledge
  • 00:07:26
    him as his father also padre hill
  • 00:07:27
    introduced the daughter of concordia
  • 00:07:29
    leonore fast forward coolest transformed
  • 00:07:32
    from a naive person into a somewhat
  • 00:07:34
    knowledgeable person he studied and
  • 00:07:36
    learned new things from them after that
  • 00:07:38
    padre hill arranged a party where most
  • 00:07:40
    of the guests are spaniards and some are
  • 00:07:42
    filipinos the borlanez eavesdrops on
  • 00:07:45
    these spanish men talking about angels
  • 00:07:46
    at the party they are really one of them
  • 00:07:48
    or a filipino at that time i think that
  • 00:07:50
    spaniards once called themselves
  • 00:07:52
    filipinos that should have been castilla
  • 00:07:54
    or spaniards tibor asked us if he heard
  • 00:07:57
    what the spaniards are saying he says
  • 00:07:59
    that the spaniards think that they are
  • 00:08:01
    the real filipinos so kolas asked who
  • 00:08:04
    are the real filipinos according to
  • 00:08:06
    tibor the real filipinos are like him
  • 00:08:08
    who are willing to serve and accept
  • 00:08:10
    responsibility class still don't really
  • 00:08:12
    know that he is a filipino himself
  • 00:08:14
    soholas just decided to go to sleep
  • 00:08:16
    because he is now drunk golas is knocked
  • 00:08:18
    on the floor while padre hill and his
  • 00:08:20
    woman stumble upon glass but reheal is
  • 00:08:22
    really a sinner even if he is a priest
  • 00:08:25
    the next morning the family of liam and
  • 00:08:26
    kolas are having a good time with each
  • 00:08:28
    other and suddenly out of nowhere class
  • 00:08:31
    recognized someone that looks like
  • 00:08:33
    deading later kola's guide been doing to
  • 00:08:35
    his school but mindoy is a hard-headed
  • 00:08:37
    one who doesn't want to go to school who
  • 00:08:39
    does proceed to padre hill to talk about
  • 00:08:41
    class and he needs to return to spain
  • 00:08:44
    because americans are taking over the
  • 00:08:46
    philippines padre hill says to him to
  • 00:08:48
    write a letter and protect his fortune
  • 00:08:50
    this is the last time we see padre hill
  • 00:08:52
    afterward he decides to look for leading
  • 00:08:54
    to the place where they left her before
  • 00:08:56
    after asking and walking around he
  • 00:08:58
    stumbles with an opera baltow is now
  • 00:09:00
    free because before he has a plan to
  • 00:09:02
    leave the prison right when he's soholas
  • 00:09:04
    he says to him that he is a traitor and
  • 00:09:06
    a soldier helps him but an offer kills
  • 00:09:08
    the soldier anyway so he chases kulas up
  • 00:09:11
    to this dead end only to find the
  • 00:09:12
    theater kulas decides to go inside only
  • 00:09:15
    to find leading baltau also goes inside
  • 00:09:17
    the theater hides and immediately leaves
  • 00:09:20
    the soldiers suspect lasts that he knows
  • 00:09:23
    the man so who does decide to come with
  • 00:09:24
    them kolas doesn't know any words this
  • 00:09:27
    spaniard is saying he only reacts when
  • 00:09:29
    he hears the name of his horse from the
  • 00:09:31
    beginning named kidlet he only then
  • 00:09:33
    realized that nothing balto also named
  • 00:09:35
    kidlet is one of the prisoners that is
  • 00:09:37
    with him before later that day colas
  • 00:09:39
    returns to reading and sets a date with
  • 00:09:41
    her only to brag all of his money and
  • 00:09:43
    offer her to marry him but leading
  • 00:09:45
    doesn't like that because she still has
  • 00:09:47
    a dream so holas decides to help her
  • 00:09:49
    instead after the date kolas escorted
  • 00:09:52
    her back to her place but leading
  • 00:09:54
    doesn't want to be followed apparently
  • 00:09:56
    kulas followed her she is angry because
  • 00:09:58
    she lives in a poor place
  • 00:10:00
    and she thinks that collapsing that she
  • 00:10:03
    wants his money kulas doesn't care she
  • 00:10:05
    only cares because leading might fall on
  • 00:10:06
    the stairs and jokes about it the next
  • 00:10:08
    day they approached leinas to help
  • 00:10:10
    leading find someone to help her achieve
  • 00:10:12
    her dream as an actress first lena's
  • 00:10:14
    declines but when he saw the appearance
  • 00:10:16
    of leading he immediately changed his
  • 00:10:18
    mind lanes likes her this makes class
  • 00:10:20
    worried therefore they fix dealing
  • 00:10:22
    giving her some photo shoots singing
  • 00:10:24
    lessons jewelry and stuff
  • 00:10:27
    after that kolas is with mindoy bindoy
  • 00:10:29
    is in a kneeling position because he is
  • 00:10:31
    being punished by his teacher after he
  • 00:10:33
    put some marbles in the bedroom of his
  • 00:10:35
    teacher they talk to each other about
  • 00:10:37
    behaving like other good kids well
  • 00:10:39
    bintoy also realized something that
  • 00:10:41
    their priest wants him to be a filipino
  • 00:10:43
    so if he asks less however kulas still
  • 00:10:46
    don't know what is to be a filipino
  • 00:10:48
    later that day kolasin leines watched
  • 00:10:50
    leading in her audition but the cousin
  • 00:10:52
    of leines doesn't like the performance
  • 00:10:55
    he said that diding should start in a
  • 00:10:57
    small theater lena somewhat threatens
  • 00:10:59
    his cousin with his business not really
  • 00:11:01
    a big deal this changes the cousin's
  • 00:11:04
    mind look how he's causing this pissed
  • 00:11:06
    afterward they celebrate drink and dance
  • 00:11:09
    but kolas don't seem to like that
  • 00:11:11
    because needing might not get home
  • 00:11:12
    safely so he interrupts them but only to
  • 00:11:16
    be denied by leaving he just decides to
  • 00:11:18
    leave them alone and go home in his
  • 00:11:20

    knocking on their gate it is deedy
  • 00:11:34
    saying that leynes fell on the ground
  • 00:11:36
    while they were dancing so they
  • 00:11:38
    immediately go to lane's place
  • 00:11:39
    concordia is angry with her daughter but
  • 00:11:42
    straight away conforts her because she
  • 00:11:44

    to his bedroom linus is just drunk after
  • 00:11:49

  • 00:12:27
    revolutionaries also a scene where

    the morning class went to lane is to
  • 00:13:36
    help him find leading but before elena
  • 00:13:39

    match kolas really is angry and tries to
  • 00:13:54
    kill leinus but mr aton prevents him
  • 00:13:57
    from doing that he said to him that
  • 00:13:59
    there is something he should learn first
  • 00:14:00
    despite what collapse did to leines lane
  • 00:14:02
    still respects him and allows him to use
  • 00:14:05
    his card on their way home later that
  • 00:14:07
    day mr atom confesses all the lies about
  • 00:14:09
    him and his daughter leading she is not
  • 00:14:11
    his real daughter kulas is really
  • 00:14:13
    disappointed while hanging around could
  • 00:14:15
    has witnessed two men arguing with each
  • 00:14:17
    other about being a spaniards some
  • 00:14:19
    filipinos back then really thinks that
  • 00:14:21
    they are one of the spaniards and the
  • 00:14:23
    same for the spaniards thinking that
  • 00:14:25
    they are the real filipinos this
  • 00:14:27
    realized class that killing people is
  • 00:14:29
    really that easy
  • 00:14:31
    even if he is just a witness he looks
  • 00:14:33
    like he kills someone here class
  • 00:14:35
    realized that because of everything that
  • 00:14:37
    happened he can never go back to his
  • 00:14:39
    house and to devote how he lived leonor
  • 00:14:41
    wants to come but is denied by kulas
  • 00:14:44
    then the soldiers came to tell kolas
  • 00:14:45
    that their commander wants to talk to
  • 00:14:47
    them when he arrives in the prison the
  • 00:14:49
    commander shows another baldow but kulas
  • 00:14:52
    refuses to acknowledge that he knows him
  • 00:14:54
    the commander is angry and throws colas
  • 00:14:56
    along with baltau kolas says he named
  • 00:14:58
    like his that's why he likes him
  • 00:15:01
    before balto punches him kulas literally
  • 00:15:04
    threw his life here after leading left
  • 00:15:06
    him kulas and baltau walked to another
  • 00:15:08
    prison while on their way they decided
  • 00:15:10
    to beat the soldiers to escape then they
  • 00:15:13
    go to mr lim's house to hide he helps
  • 00:15:15
    him break the chain and treat the wounds
  • 00:15:17
    of baltau kolas really feels a special
  • 00:15:19
    connection to botel lim talk to his
  • 00:15:22
    friends about how hurt them and think
  • 00:15:24
    that they are soldiers baltau is always
  • 00:15:27
    speaking words like the revolution will
  • 00:15:29
    become successful and the filipinos will
  • 00:15:31
    take over
  • 00:15:32
    lim just wants to help them even if
  • 00:15:34
    balthau threatens their family kolas
  • 00:15:37
    just there watching them the morning
  • 00:15:38
    after that they begin their journey to
  • 00:15:40
    transport class and built out to a
  • 00:15:42
    different place that is also the time
  • 00:15:44
    they are in the war with the filipinos
  • 00:15:46
    but when they reached the exit to their
  • 00:15:48
    town they were blocked by soldiers when
  • 00:15:50
    the filipinos are winning baltau and
  • 00:15:52
    glass reveal themselves to help them but
  • 00:15:54
    kulas got shot and lim is also got shot
  • 00:15:57
    right in his chest like why class got
  • 00:15:59
    shot also right balthau shouts at the
  • 00:16:01
    soldiers that the americans are there
  • 00:16:03
    and that they are now finally free well
  • 00:16:05
    i'm sad because my favorite character in
  • 00:16:08
    this film died he's my favorite
  • 00:16:09
    character because he was like the best
  • 00:16:11
    friend of kolas and he is the only
  • 00:16:13
    person that values his personality he
  • 00:16:16
    sacrificed his own life for his best
  • 00:16:18
    friend anyway the family is mourning the
  • 00:16:21
    wife is angry so less decides to leave
  • 00:16:23
    them while walking collapse paints the
  • 00:16:26
    ground delivered to a nearby shelter
  • 00:16:28
    only to find that there is a new kind of
  • 00:16:30
    race the americans collapse have no idea
  • 00:16:33
    he returns to his house only to find
  • 00:16:34
    that concordia and leonard took over the
  • 00:16:36
    house along with some american dude
  • 00:16:38
    leonard can't help him because the
  • 00:16:40
    american is already owning her so they
  • 00:16:42
    throw him outside the house kulas is
  • 00:16:45
    outside walking the street when bingo
  • 00:16:47
    notices him tells him where to find
  • 00:16:49
    leading we can see that didding is
  • 00:16:51
    achieving her dream of becoming a known
  • 00:16:53
    filipino actress class against faints
  • 00:16:56
    and dreams of feeding but then later
  • 00:16:58
    class spoke to the noise of canyons
  • 00:17:00
    nearby class and leines talked to each
  • 00:17:02
    other about everything changed when the
  • 00:17:04
    americans came according to layness
  • 00:17:06
    people are difficult to understand
  • 00:17:08
    before we don't like spaniards we
  • 00:17:09
    revolutionized then the americans came
  • 00:17:12
    even if they didn't hurt us we put the
  • 00:17:14
    war against them and the revolution is
  • 00:17:16
    happening again that is how the
  • 00:17:17
    filipinos act so hard to understand but
  • 00:17:20
    not everybody unlike visayan they just
  • 00:17:22
    go with the flow and accept the
  • 00:17:24
    situation plainness explains to colas
  • 00:17:26
    that he still has the ownership of his
  • 00:17:27
    house but he is unsure up to his
  • 00:17:29
    business because it might close also
  • 00:17:32
    lanes didn't really live with leading
  • 00:17:34
    because he has his own wife diding
  • 00:17:36
    interrupts and says that kolas should
  • 00:17:38
    just rest because when he finally
  • 00:17:40
    recovers they are going to get married
  • 00:17:42
    soon deeding really loves gulas even if
  • 00:17:44
    everything that happened
  • 00:17:47
    anyway the next scene shows leading is
  • 00:17:49
    singing on stage we can see that she
  • 00:17:51
    really achieved her dreams of becoming
  • 00:17:53
    famous fast forward dating and class
  • 00:17:55
    again have the time of their lives but
  • 00:17:57
    not for long because deeding always
  • 00:17:59
    feels not contented with what she has
  • 00:18:02
    later that day kolasin leines travels to
  • 00:18:04
    the house of class to claim the
  • 00:18:06
    ownership but are interrupted with
  • 00:18:07
    concordia shouting because theonor is
  • 00:18:10
    dead i don't know if she ends her own
  • 00:18:12
    life or someone rape and kills her
  • 00:18:14
    concordia is not sad she is just
  • 00:18:16
    disappointed she tries to escape but got
  • 00:18:19
    caught while lena slipped to the stairs
  • 00:18:21
    so joles delivers him to his house by
  • 00:18:23
    the way the wife of leines also arrives
  • 00:18:25
    that day his wife decides not to treat
  • 00:18:28
    him so that she can deliver him home
  • 00:18:30
    with her because somebody is conflicting
  • 00:18:32
    their marriage and that is leading
  • 00:18:34
    leines tells class that he wasted his
  • 00:18:37
    life to go very far yet he doesn't
  • 00:18:39
    really accomplish anything in life this
  • 00:18:41
    opens the eye of class he tells dieding
  • 00:18:44
    that of all the people he knows the
  • 00:18:45
    person that he is most doubtful about is
  • 00:18:48
    dating this is where the revelation
  • 00:18:50
    begins with the both of them diding
  • 00:18:52
    confesses the truth to him of what she
  • 00:18:54
    feels for lenas and that she really live
  • 00:18:56
    with him but covers that up because she
  • 00:18:59
    still loves glass they remember before
  • 00:19:01
    didding is really bored to their
  • 00:19:03
    relationship well she really thinks of
  • 00:19:05
    lenas she is really a flirtatious woman
  • 00:19:07
    even before right she demands to be left
  • 00:19:09
    behind to a soldier and ignore his
  • 00:19:12
    feelings kulas went to the school of
  • 00:19:13
    bindoy bindoy is gonna stay in the
  • 00:19:16
    dormitory for a very long time kulas
  • 00:19:18
    teaches benjoy that if he has all the
  • 00:19:20
    things in life it's not enough to live
  • 00:19:23
    because a person needs to be useful to
  • 00:19:25
    other people to realize his worth at
  • 00:19:27
    this moment kolas realized that he
  • 00:19:30
    really needs to do something to make up
  • 00:19:31
    for his word in life he decides to go
  • 00:19:33
    home and talk to diding one last time
  • 00:19:36
    kulas tells her that he wants to join
  • 00:19:37
    the filipino so he decides to leave the
  • 00:19:40
    house and leave leading even if he's
  • 00:19:42
    deeply in love with her he wants to be
  • 00:19:44
    more than just a person he wants to have
  • 00:19:46
    an impact that can change the life of a
  • 00:19:48
    filipino more than having nice things in
  • 00:19:50
    life he decided to fight for his
  • 00:19:52
    identity and become a revolutionary the
  • 00:19:55
    movie ends when colas approaches these
  • 00:19:57
    kids to ask what happened there the kids
  • 00:20:00
    say everybody's gone and class asked
  • 00:20:02
    where are the filipinos these kids don't
  • 00:20:04
    have any idea so hola says to them that
  • 00:20:07
    they are also a filipino and that is the
  • 00:20:11
    story of nicolas ogampo the end whoa
  • 00:20:15
    hold it right there they are like that
  • 00:20:17
    before well today filipino just adapt to
  • 00:20:21
    any situation and now the only enemy
  • 00:20:23
    filipino how is ourselves we are
  • 00:20:26
    influenced with different country until
  • 00:20:28
    filipinos rule again in the philippines
  • 00:20:30
    colas despite everything that he has he
  • 00:20:32
    is still not contented because everybody
  • 00:20:35
    is achieving their dreams but not him
  • 00:20:37
    from the very beginning he really
  • 00:20:39
    doesn't like any of the fortune or any
  • 00:20:41
    of the nice things that they gave to him
  • 00:20:43
    he only wants to be loved but the love
  • 00:20:45
    he receives doesn't do justice because
  • 00:20:48
    didn't cheated on him mr atong lied to
  • 00:20:51
    him the borlaine has betrayed him bin
  • 00:20:53
    doy is just a child leonard did not help
  • 00:20:55
    him when gorja doesn't like him and lim
  • 00:20:58
    the only person that gives value to him
  • 00:21:00
    as a person just died because of the
  • 00:21:02
    spaniards but they didn't redeem herself
  • 00:21:05
    to hold us but it is too late because
  • 00:21:07
    colas realized many things along the way
  • 00:21:09
    he witnesses that he was in a war with
  • 00:21:11
    spaniards and now americans he wants to
  • 00:21:14
    be acknowledged as a filipino that's why
