No one delivers a tearful monologue better than a mom in a Filipino movie.
MANILA, Philippines – Moms occupy a very specific space in Filipino family culture. At once disciplinarians, breadwinners, and caregivers,pretty much do it all. And because they do, we place them on a pedestal, for better or worse.In Filipino movies, moms are often depicted as long-suffering and self-sacrificing, with a tendency to launch into tearful monologues when things get tense. Those monologues often reveal interesting truths about the roles moms play in our lives.
In a pivotal scene, the tensions between the sisters come to a head, and of course, their mama is accused of playing favorites. She admits to this, explains herself, and after a round of apologies, reassures her babies that she loves them.Sana tuwing umiinom ka ng alak, habang hinihithit mo ang sigarilyo mo at habang nilulustay mo ang perang pinapadala ko, sana maisip mo rin kung ilang pagkain ang tiniis kong hindi kainin para lang makapagpadala ako ng malaking pera rito.
