SYNOPSIS

The 2007 film depicted how young people, like Melonie Maglia of Ifugao, longed for leaders with conscience and competence, not public officials who, according to Fr. Vhong Navarro, invented projects for selfish interests. Mayor Jesse Robredo of Naga City proved that good governance by strengthening transparency and accountability processes can help improve the conditions of local residents.
