after the protection of the rights of the victim and the serving of justice but a
user of the worst kind, sensationalizing the case to further her career and gain
media mileage as a PR campaign, abandoning the victims when she has
achieved her purpose of self promotion. Since the film and the events portrayed
therein were during the past administrations time, you can probably guess who
that lady commissioner with the ubiquitous scarf is. Additionally, most Filipinos
can relate to the film because the setting revolves around the importance of love
for the family, which are closely to every Filipino heart.
Kabisera should have been a great film since it contains very
powerful scenes and excellent dialogue but the film editing was a major
disappointment. Some scenes should have been deleted and/or shortened,
sequences re-ordered especially after the murder of JC de Veras character and
that awkward carolling scene. One thing that I learned in this film was no matter
what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better
tomorrow. The film may not be considered as an obra maestra but it embodies
important, inspirational and life changing lessons that is not commonly seen in
the most films.
