    Tearjerker

    Amazing storyline supported by published articles and interviews by the people involved. Who would have thought after 30+ years there would be a movie like this. Darryl Yap is an extraordinary director! From MIM to MOM, both never failed to make you cry. Bring tissue!!! Even my husband cried to this movie. Amazing actors! Christine Reyes is the best!

    Definitely must watch whatever political color you are! For years, we were fed through movies, school books and journals with this heroic Ninoy image but this will show the other side of the story. As the saying goes, history is not grounded in facts rather it's winners' interpretation that prevails. Now, the Marcoses were heard.

    A movie that will make you think

    Hat's off to the director, Director Darryl Yap for giving us a movie that expresses the sentiments of a millennial like me.

    This movie will make you think and asked yourself Is it really worth it to be a critic of a family who's been accused of such an evil things as if they were the root of evil? This movie just humanized the family Marcoses. The actors and actresses aced their roles. Kristine Reyes made me cry on her scenes. Cesar Montano on the other hand was like a splitting image of Marcos Senior. Beverly Salviejo scenes was never a dull moments. Young actor, Jerome Ponce portrayed his role as a young Ninoy.

    There were a lot of symbolism through ART. If you're not going to pay attention you'll totally miss the foreshadowing.

    Marvelous!

    It's admirable that Direk DARYLL YAP constantly backed up the movie with actual footage and documents as well as the utterance of the people concerned to justify the variance.

    I am certain that this film will open the eyes of Filipino. Now it's all understood why it's all filtered and obstructed in mainstream media to create the MARCOSES as the demon and characterize NINOY as the divine Filipino hero who offered his life for the welfare of the majority. But if you watch and analyze the statement and interviews of NINOY here and abroad is a premeditated shooting by him and his group, to begin with.

    Thank you!

    Amazing!!! Really Family Oriented Film.

    I already watch the #MiM last Aug. 2022 and the sequel #MoM on this day, March 1 ar the SM Southmall Cinema, Philippines. It shows the truthful event in the side of Marcoses as Sen. Imee tells the true story of Ninoy Aquino's Death with the evidences shown by the help of actual video clips and books as cited in the movie. #MoM teaches every Filipino children to love their parents while they live in this world, cherish the moments to show love to your Mom and Dad. Like what Bonget, Irene and Imee done for their beloved Father (Ferdinand Senior). The courage of the Marcos is the courage of every Family Filipino when the problem & crisis comes, to face challenges in life. Kudos to Director Darryl Yap and the whole staff of #MoM Godbless. Hope for the last sequel of #MAM "Mabuhay Aloha Mabuhay" #Soon. 🙏

    AGAIN NO HISTORIAL REVISIONISM WHATSOEVER!

    The story revolves around what happened to the Marcoses when they were power and exiled. Imee Marcos is the main protagonist in this story for this is their side of the story.

    I totally recommend this film to everybody and have an open mind to see the other side of the story.

    No propaganda was featured in the film. It was all about love, family, strength and hope for the sake of country and people.

    I cannot wait for the next installment of this trilogy which will tackle what happened to the Marcoses in Makiki, Hawaii. USA and back in power in the present time. I think it will be a hit just like the first one "Maid in Malacanang".
