Patikul: Movie Review By Carla Basa

Patikul is a film by Joel Lamangan which tells us that education is after all an issue that can never be overemphasized. Patikul tells the story of Kan-Ague Elementary School in Patikul, Sulu. Two best students in Kan-Ague were chosen to compete in the region's quiz bee. They were eager to grab the top prize, they prepared for the quiz bee with the help of their school principal and the teachers. One of the teacher's brother was killed so they decided to go there and extend their condolences. On their way home they were blocked by the military and the school principal was hostages. They were asking for ransom but his family cannot give that amount of money they were asking for. The school principal was beheaded so they had to stop the children from schooling. The parents were not infavor of it so they planned to bring the teachers to school everyday. The children goes to school everyday and until now the parents would escort the teachers for the sake of their childrens education.
This film is inspiring because many children really want to go to school but do not get a chance to study. This film shows us how education is important to us. We are lucky because we go to school everyday safely unlike in Patikul wherein everyday they get afraid. Education is something that we can treasure from our parents. I was inspired when the parents escorted he teachers to school and they bring them home everyday. You will see how concerned they were for their childrens education. This teaches us that no matter how hard life is, you should never give up. There will always be a solution to every problem.
