What I liked

I loved the cohesion of the show even when given such a small amount of time, they were able to tell such a big and complete story with just a short window of time. THE VOCALS oh my goodness absolutely stunning, loved every single performer, so talented such a pleasure to witness. I also loved how there were such striking scenes in the show, the intensity shows how passionate these actors and crew are about the important message they are trying to tell the audience. CHILLS!

What I didn't like

The only thing I wish is that it was longer, I would have loved to see more development of the characters in the story, just a few more additional scenes to characterize the several other potential-filled characters would’ve made the show THAT much better. Overall I think the show was absolutely PERFECT

My overall impression

There were several moments during the show where I was taken aback. Whether that be the stunning vocals from all of the singers and their harmonies, or shocking plot twists and big moments during turning-point scenes. The entire time I was kept on the edge of my seat anticipating what would happen next in the story. The message being conveyed from the show, highlighting very important AND REAL Lumad struggles that people are overlooking.
