Mayohan

The film highlights the rich customs surrounding the month of May, where locals engage in padasal, a series of novenas, to celebrate good harvests and the virtues of the Mayohan. This culminates in a Pasayaw or Tapusan, involving the entire community in each barangay. Themes of faith, tradition, and community are woven into the storyline, creating a vivid portrait of local life.

With a cast that includes Lovi Poe and Elijah Castillo, Mayohan reflects on the intersection of devotion and cultural practices. The film is produced by the Cinemalaya Foundation and Alpha Dog Productions, adding to its authenticity in portraying a slice of Filipino life. Collectors interested in cultural narratives and regional stories may find this film particularly compelling, as it offers a unique view into Filipino traditions and values during a significant time of the year.
