Filipino filmmaker Gil M. Portes directs the drama Mga Munting Tinig (Small Voices), based on the teaching experience of his niece during the 1980s. Alessandra de Rossi plays Melinda Santiago, an idealistic young woman who takes a teaching position at a small rural school in the Philippine province of Malawig. With a corrupt government and scarce economic opportunities, the townsfolk struggle to survive. While many of the adults choose to join the guerilla military force, the children are made to work on family farms rather than receive an education. Against many of the parents' wishes, Melinda enters her class in a singing competition. Small Voices premiered at the 2002 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

In this stormy melodrama, the relationship between a girl, her mother, and her grandmother takes a dramatic turn after the girl has been shot and lies in a coma.The girl is the apple of her very protective mother's eye, and was accidentally shot just as she was about to go off to college. The girl's mother wants to keep her alive, hoping for a miraculous recovery. Her grim-faced grandmother wants to pull the plug at the earliest possible instant. The girl's mother, Pacita, has chosen the "unworthy" occupation of becoming a singer and standup comedian, and this is another source of conflict between her and the girl's proud, aristocratic grandmother. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
