FILM SYNOPSIS

“Pag Handuraw Sang Nagligad”

By Angelica L. Tapalla

Rosita is a girl with determination and perseverance. She wanted to support her family. Her mother was only a vegetable vendor and the only one who helps her mother was her elder brother Alberto who was a policeman based in Central Manapla Negros Occidental.

A 19 year old girl didn’t hesitate to work away from her family. She went to Iloilo and worked as a caregiver to a cancer survivor and a spinster named Ambo.

As the time goes by Ambo had considered Rosita as a good friend. She would call Rosita as Rosing. Ambo was happy that she has now someone to talk and walk along to everyday.

They said that a friend in need is a friend in deed. There may be many friends at the time of prosperity. But most of them desert at the time of adversity. We can examine the sincerity of a friend during our time of hardship and trouble. 

Rosing also tried to raise animals for her to have extra money and something to do when she is not busy with Ambo. So that she can send enough money to her family.

One morning Rosing‘s brother Alberto went in Iloilo to pick her up. He said they are going to live in Negros where he is working together with their mother and five siblings.

It was a genuine and wholehearted impression of a two person who have come across and departed from each other who found a true friendship regardless of the status they have in life.

And It was the last time that Rosing and Ambo saw each other.Now Rosing is already seventy-seven years old and she can still remember the things about Ambrosia. And until now she has no idea if what happened to Ambo after she left.  But she’s praying that wherever she might be she’ll be in good hands and she will always keep and treasure the memories they had.
