Pink Halo-Halo
Natoy (Paolo Constantino) is just like any other child. He finds joy and excitement in the simplest of things -- especially in eating halo-halo filled with pink gelatin and red tapioca at the local halo-halo store owned by his godmother, Bing (Dexter Doria); and playing with his uncle, Mating (Mark Fabillar).
Things change suddenly when, as he and his mother Sonia (Angeli Bayani) are watching television, a news report about the ongoing war in Mindanao, the southern-most part of the Philippines, shows footage of a badly wounded soldier waiting for rescue. That soldier -- almost bleeding to death, is his father, Corporal Lino Bolante (Allen Dizon).
The story shows how wars rob a child of his innocence.
