Man Po (2002)
Dir. Joel Lamangan / 110 minutes 

Language: Filipino, Mandarin and English with English Subtitles

During the Chinese Revolution in 1949, young Chinese copra trader Fong-Huan marries Elisa, a young and pretty Filipina girl. The couple’s children, Daniel and Linda, are raised in a mixture of Chinese and Filipino-Hispanic tradition. These richly cultured people are the ancestors of a dysfunctional third-generation family whose daughters tell their own stories of joy, struggle, and the complex realities in the life of Filipino Chinese families. Mano Po was among the top-grossing films and won the most major awards in various film-awarding bodies, including 12 awards in the 28th Manila Film Festival in 2002. It was named Best Picture, Best Actor (Eddie Garcia), Best Actress (Ara Mina), Best Supporting Actress (Kris Aquino) and Best Director (Joel Lamangan).
