One of the best Filipino movies for me, I am from Maria Aurora a nearby town from Baler and i never known how great the story of the Baler Siege is until i watched the movie. I’m surprised to know that the love story of Celso and Feliza really did exist as what is mentioned on the last part of the movie. The direction is good, so as the cinematography. Though a lot of people keep on saying that there are character mismatches in the film, the actors and actresses particularly the lead characters really did a great job.During the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival, Baler bagged 10 awards. These are the following:

Best Picture
Best Festival Actress
Best Supporting Actor
Best Festival Director
Best Festival Screenplay
Best Festival Cinematography
Best Festival Production Design
Best Festival Editor
Gender Sensitive Award
Gatpuno Antonio Villegas Cultural Award

Well, what else can i say? uhmm The movie definitely deserves its wins…
