Salidumay

Mai Fanglayan portrays Ayo, a young Tingguian woman with mix Ibaloi blood, goes on her first date at a Korean restaurant while her love interest is Franz, a former seminarian from Abra, who settled in Baguio City played by Kenneth Jhayve Bautista. Franz can’t seem to find love through dating apps, and decides to use his culture’s methods to arrange a marriage. Their differences lead to a small collision of expectations and perspectives, but what it opens up in the tension offers a glimmer of hope for the would-be couple.
