    Reflection on the movie: LIWAY

    The story was narrated from the point of view of Dakip, a boy of tender age, about the
    dreadful experience that their family has experienced during the waning years under Martial
    Law regime. Dakip grew up in prison where their whole family, one of the political prisoners at
    that time, was detained. Prison is never an ideal place to grow up in, but his mother, Day, tried
    her best to protect him and maintain a home despite the living hell that they were in. This
    shows the protective and motherly side of Day, different from the rebel Commander Liway that
    was captured during the encounter.

    Day’s husband, the father of Dakip, had a different approach on how to protect his child.
    He wants his son to face the reality instead of the fantasies that Day tries to give his son so he
    could have something to hold on to. One of which is the story of Liway, an enchantress of Mt.
    Kanlaon, which turned out to be her life’s story. We see the different and sometimes conflicting
    views of parents on how to protect their child. For at the end of the day, it is always the child’s
    best interest that is vital in the hearts of their parents

    The movie has touched the viewers’ hearts upon the realization that Dakip, the child
    who grew up in prison, grew up to be a successful and genuine person. The sincerity of the
    director can be felt throughout the movie since the film is a project that is so close to the
    director’s hearts. The audience somehow felt a piece of justice when a statement that says “a
    portion of the Marcos ill-gotten wealth was used to make this film’ a reality.

    The movie has its viewers, once again, a peak into what life was like during those dark
    days, but now, through the eyes of a young boy, whose future seems so bleak. We are also
    reminded that life is what we make out of it, that we can be the victors in our own right and
    respect.
