Mayohan (2010)
Main Cast: Lovi Poe, Elijah Castillo, Ping Medin
Director: Dan Villegas
Genre: Drama
Movie Synopsis: In Infanta, Quezon, locals turn each of the 31 days of May into a charming honor to celebrate good harvest and to pay tribute to the virginal virtues of the Mayohan. Every month of May, a padasal or series of novenas commences to mark the beginning of Mayohan. A 15-year old young outsider becomes the focal point in the preparation that the Pasayaw demands. As this grieving young man comes of age and deals with the recent loss of both parents, his attention shifts to Lilibeth, a 19-year old provincial lass, the elected presidenta of the pasayaw’s pamunuan, who, herself gets lost in the hoopla and hullabaloo that transpire before May ends. As the event underscores gender lines, generation differences, and class issues, they become entangled in an unlikely partnership, in their own search for growth and acceptance.
