A timely film seven years in the making

With the recent news about the devastation brought by typhoon Odette hitting the headlines, the subject of the of Metro Manila Film Festival entry film 'Kun Maupay Man It Panahon' (which opens in theaters nationwide on December 25) is as timely as ever.

The globally recognized drama film starring Charo Santos, Daniel Padilla and newcomer Rans Rifol, tells of the aftermath of 2013 supertyphoon Yolanda. 'Kun Maupay Man It Panahon' (English title: 'Whether the Weather is Fine') is inspired by director Carlo Francisco Manatad's own experience of looking for his family in Tacloban because he could not reach them for days.

The movie’s director, Carlo Francisco Mantad, expressed alongside lead stars Daniel Padilla and Charo Santos Concio, how he hopes that someday soon, the Filipino’s resilience will also mean disaster preparedness. FACEBOOK PHOTO/ THE WEATHER FILM
