A maritime lawyer by profession, sometimes called Frog Prince of the Philippines with currently more than a thousand of collectible frog items. Like the frogs with a reputation for leaping that is well deserved, jump with me to my froglandia as we travel and explore the world seeking symbols of divine powers of love, fertility, regeneration, rebirth, immortality, and transformation.
Patikul tells the story of Kan-Ague Elementary School in Patikul, Sulu. Two of Kan-Ague's best students are chosen to compete in the region's quiz bee. Determined to grab the top prize, the students prepare for the quiz bee with the help of the school's supportive principal (Marvin Agustin) and teachers. However, the students get caught in the middle of the hostilities between the government and the terrorists..The story of a dedicated principal abducted and beheaded by the bandits (credibly played by Marvin Agustin) is based on a true account of the tragedy that befell Gabriel Canizares, principal of Kan-ague Elementary School. He was beheaded when his family failed to raise the ransom money. Patikul” shows that most Filipinos put premium on education. The plot tells of the plight of Amman (Allen Dizon) who leads a group of fighting farmers/parents to keep their children in school.
Patikul has its heart in the right place. It is a heart that hungers for an education system that actually works. It is a heart that hopes for peace in Mindanao. It is a heart that hates the prevailing injustice, especially in the most far-flung locations in the Philippines.
