Vilma Santos' Anak (2000), about a mother working under poor circumstances abroad to support her kids back home, only to realize that her kids are now alienated from her after being separated for so many years. A plainspoken drama where Governor Santos dominates the scenes and the tension with Claudine Barretto creates the intense sparks to trigger the emotions. The story is simple, yet real, and I sure many filipinos recognize their situation in this well presented Star Cinema drama.
