It's for a mature audience, audience who are in a high level of intellectual plane compared to the ordinary usual audience. Sadly it did may not hit box office because there are only a few of these kind in the Philippines. However kudos to Ploning for being nominated to the Oscars ! One small step for Ploning, One giant leap for the entire Philippine cinema industry ! Ploning is a very different kind of movie.

It is the first Filipino movie I've seen in a long time that had me thinking all the way home from the theater. And when I got home, we had a discussion about it all afternoon. It is an excellent, thought-provoking film that digs deep into the human condition. Plus the scenery made me want to pack up and head for Palawan. When is the DVD coming out because I'm definitely getting one. Kudos to the makers and cast of this film.

I will surely watch this as my support for all Cuyunons. I know this movie (as I've seen from the trailers), is a movie made carefully to showcase not just the Cuyuno everyday life but as the real human existence, hope and love. Mayad nga adlaw canimo!

I'm interested because I'm also a Cuyunon. My grandmother was from Magsaysay then transferred to Cuyo where she met my grandfather. The last time I was in the municipality was a long time ago. Back then, I wasn't that much interested to know about it even if my lola and my lolo lived there for some long years. I actually wanted to join Angga there with some of our friends, but my schedule won't permit me. I am looking forward to it and has been promoting it to my friends. I can't wait to meet you either. See you in Puerto whenever :-) To Jourdan — you are most welcome! I’m interested because I’m also a Cuyunon. My grandmother was from Magsaysay then transferred to Cuyo where she met my grandfather.

First, I want to say belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. I pray for more blessings for you and your family wherever you may be right now. Back to your question -- yes, I am positive that Ploning will make it as a box office hit not only because the main character will be played by Judy Ann Santos, but also because it will be well-heeled in terms of showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Cuyunons. Are you a Cuyunon? The Cuyunons are one of the colorful people in the Philippines, I believe. Cuyo, the town where they live or where they can trace their roots, is one of the most traditionally and culturally rich places in Palawan province (if not the whole country). The natural beauty of Cuyo speaks volumes about its people, how they live their lives and how they love with passion and care for one another. It speaks more about how the tides in the ocean determine the hopes of the people, or the simple task of picking shells on the shores can be a sensible and meaningful community activity for them. Whether its a documentary film or otherwise, what matters is there are people who are now doing films that are worth watching and that display the unique characters of the Filipino people wherever they may be or whatever dialect they speak. Not only will this film be entertaining; it will also succeed in opening the eyes of filmmakers to make movies where people can truly learn something. I am sure that while the film would very much like to be commercially-appealing, the makers and the producers would also, more than ever, want it to be a source of inspiration to people who might already be forgetting where they came from or what made them who they are today.

We are producing the film to become a highly entertaining and engaging movie... but we hope to retain its authenticity by having the characters speak the local dialect of Cuyonon. Will it be a box office hit? We hope so! But we'll definitley back it up with the right marketing and publicity efforts to give it a push. Teng, Thank you for your continued interest on the project. Hope to meet you soon. Teodoro,
