EBOLUSYON NG ISANG PAMILYANG PILIPINO
EVOLUTION OF A FILIPINO FAMILY, THE
Filmed between 1994 and 2004, Evolution of a Filipino Family fictionally essays a period of 16 years from 1971 to 1987 in Philippine history. Specifically, it examines the effect that former Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos controversial installation of martial law from 1972 to 1986 had on the country. At the films core are the Gallardos the titles heroes who represent the preponderant Filipino underclass in all their wretchedness. As farming folk living out their days in crumpled barrios, the Gallardos (a special detail is that as a result of the long period of shooting, the actor playing Raynaldo really grows up) wrestle less than dignified lives from Marcos tyrannical regime of corruption and brutality. Already a precarious unit, the spread of civil unrest and guerilla terrorism effectuated by this additional oppression is readied to further devastate their lives. (Brandon Wee)
