BUGUEY: PANAGSUBLI

Buguey: Panagsubli (or Buguey: Homecoming) is a short film about two brothers who were separated when they were young. The younger brother, Rico, went to America to live with their mother, while the older brother, Bernard, stayed behind with their Aunt Roselyn because he was old enough to be petitioned to the United States. Years later, in their twilight years, Rico returns to their hometown of Buguey, Cagayan to visit his brother Bernard. However, Bernard is now suffering from Alzheimer's disease and does not remember his younger brother. Rico embarks on a quest to try to make his brother remember a fragment of their childhood, despite the challenges posed by Bernard's condition. The film explores themes of sacrifice, love, and family.
