Image
Four "Free" Tickets from E-Plus (in actuality, PhP3.00 each) Directed by: Olivia Lamasan W ritten by:Olivia Lamasan and Carmi Raymundo Thank goodness I finally was able to watch this film.  I did not expect much because thought it was just going to be "the same old story" or probably it was going to be too commercial, but after being so impressed with these two young actors in SHE'S DATING THE GANGSTER , CRAZY BEAUTIFUL YOU  and the update of PANGAKO SA 'YO, even if I am not a die hard fan, I told myself I have to watch this.

I asked myself, if Hermano Puli was not a heretic, how come his disciples(again, I have no proof that they really are) seem so? So besides the little info found on text books, I studied his life. He did repent in the end, but he was not able to correct the teachings during his last year on earth.

Not everyone was happy with his being treated by a hero.  Of course, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) had to investigate and thankfully, it was proven that he and his Co-Pilot, Jeffrey Skiles, wer...
