My good friend and fellow filmmaker: Alvin Pingol just completed a short film in 3 parts about his travels in the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Macau. “Paglalakbay” is a Filipino word that roughly translates to “travels,” or “journey.” This film chronicles the adventures of Alvin and his family during the first 3 weeks of January 2010. I enjoyed it from start to finish, and only wish there was more!! Thanks for sharing your trip, knowledge, and heritage with us, Alvin!

Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr-V4y0l_S0PS: If your internet connection can handle it, I recommend watching all 3 parts in 720p HD. If you don’t know what that means, just ignore it.  Enjoy!
