A film by the veteran director Joel Lamanagan emphasizes on the significance of education. Good point and theme to stress on for its essential need especially in riskier and remote areas in the Philippines such as Mindanao. The dangers faced by students and dedicated teachers for their services inspite of the hazards brought by rebel groups. Also, the film is an avenue addressed to the government in giving financial aids in terms of improving school facilities and giving in updated reference materials to be used, support and protection for the students and for the teachers as well especially in areas like this.
Patikul has a clear noble intention of enlightening the public regarding the deficiencies of education policies here in our country. Despite of the perils encountered everyday, the people opted to continue their works for the sake of children’s future through their cooperative effort.
The film was shot in locations in Rizal and Cavite instead of doing it in Patikul, Sulu. One way of being resourceful and cost-friendly. Thus, the film is mistakenly supported for its appeal but void visuals of rolling hills, dark forests, bustling town centers and eventful coffee ranches. However, these locations are just junctures, the characters are just performers and the film is just an explicit exercise of imagination.
