Christmas is sure to be filled with laughter as Star Cinema presents its Metro Manila Film Fest entry Ang Tanging Ina Nyong Lahat. Top-billed by the Comedy Concert Queen Ai-ai Delas Alas, Ang Tanging Ina Nyong Lahat is the sequel to the 2003 blockbuster Ang Tanging Ina and is directed by the same director, Wenn Deramas.
Ang Tanging Ina Nyong Lahat follows the story of Ina Montecillo, a mother struggling to provide for her children. In this second installment, Ina’s four grown-up children have migrated abroad to live their own lives. Tri (Carlo Aquino) and Seven (Shaina Magdayao) are left to look after their younger siblings while Ina and her best friend Rowena (Eugene Domingo) continue to try every means possible to earn money. Their job-hunting misadventures lead them to Malacañang where they find work as chambermaids. Ina stumbles upon a plot to assassinate President Hilary (Gloria Diaz), and when the plan is carried out, Ina is forced to expose the truth. Her life is eventually turned upside-down when she is elected as the President of the Philippines. From their small house in the suburbs, Ina moves her children to the Palace where she begins her duty as the country’s leader.
Ina at first doubts her capability as a politician. Guided by her maternal instinct though, she tries to serve the nation in the same way that she takes care of her children. But she eventually learns that being a president and a mother is not for the faint-hearted and she is bound to fail at one or both. Furthermore, Ina and her children still have to deal with the same problems: misunderstandings, a lack of communication, selfishness, alienation, and wrong decisions. She later finds herself torn between being a mother to her own children and being a mother to a country. Her spirit and her family are put to the test, until a tragic event pushes Ina to make the most crucial decision in her life.
Ang Tanging Ina Nyong Lahat kept the franchise’s tradition of doing spoofs and giving punch lines like the first installment. A new comic element to watch out for is Ina’s philosophies, comically twisted with a dose of truth. Ai-ai again showcased her comedic skills which was complemented by the equally funny Eugene who plays her on-screen sidekick.
While the original version revolved on a more mundane setting, Ang Tanging Ina Nyong Lahat added an element of the grandiose by making its central character a heroine on a national scale. Audiences who were able to relate to the simplistic story of the first film may find the plot of sequel too incredible to swallow.
For those who are looking for a good laugh with the entire family, Ang Tanging Ina Nyong Lahat is definitely a must-see. Catch Ang Tanging Ina Nyong Lahat opening in theaters nationwide on December 25. Also log on to http://tangingina.starcinema.com.ph to know more about this sequel.
