Now Watching: Anak (2000)

Directed by Rory Quintos under Star Cinema Productions

A woman struggling to make a better life for her family finds that her efforts have caused a rift between her and her children in this downbeat family drama. Josie (Vilma Santos) is a mother of three from the Philippines who took a job in Hong Kong, working as a nanny for a wealthy couple for several years. 🇭🇰

Josie knew she could make far more money in Hong Kong than she could at home, but she also had qualms about how this would effect her children, especially when her husband died not long after she left.
When Josie returns home, she has gifts for everyone and has saved a large percentage of her salary, which she plans to use to start a business; but her children don't welcome their mother with open arms. 🫂🛍

OFWs like Josie, Vilma Santos’ character have had their share of sweat and sacrifices In order to provide for their family. 🏆

Stay tuned to find out the relevance and relation to the movie Anak👶, and the interviewee we will be introducing in our next post!
