This film may very well pass off as a drama musical. Cuneta sings huge song numbers on stage. Which should have been shortened to lessen the film’s running time (a whopping 132 minutes). Besides the standard ballad songs, Cuneta and Raymond Lauchenco, sings a fun duet entitled “Buhay ng Mahirap” as they push their wodden cart collecting recyclables, they extol the life of the impoverished. Waking up and eating dried fish, each day revolving around their small wooden cart. Cuneta also sings pop 80′s hits of the time, which will surely send sentimental folks down through memory lane. When Cuneta and company are not singing, there are subjected to the most inhumane acts headed by Pilar Pilapil, the rich neighbor together with her daughters (Lani Mercado and Eula Valdez). Only the father, Eddie Rodriguez, understands the plight of the poor. Comic favorites Vangie Labalan and Manny Castañeda provides relief on the melodrama. Labalan, is mostly remembered in movies such as Kumander Bawang and Ishmael Bernal’s Himala.
