A typical Overseas Filipino Worker, Oscar (Estrada) returns to the Philippines for a holiday, only to find that his children have become strangers and his family, both immediate and extended, are dependent on his dollar earnings. Graded A by the Cinema Evaluation Board, this comedy-drama is commended for being an “exceptionally crafted film … very touching, insightful, brimming with sensitivity. Very Filipino, very heartfelt.” A CEB reviewer points out that the film “successfully tackles the plight of OFWs.” The acting of the lead stars is similarly praised. “Jinggoy is definitely engaging and fits the role.”
