4. Himala – Not all of us want to settle in foreign films alone so I decided to include this film which was also known for Nora Aunor’s famous line, “ Walang himala! Ang himala ay nasa puso ng bawat tao”. Nora Aunor portray the character of Elsa who claimed to have seen the blessed Virgin Mary and who has endowed her with healing powers. It was directed by Ishmael Bernal.



5. Sa’yo lamang – Filipinos are known for being family-oriented people, thus this film of           Laurice Guillen tackles the values and issues evolving within the family. This is a perfect movie to watch together with the whole family.
