Film Title:ENDO (Love on a Budget)
ENDO (Love on a Budget) is "a moving love story set in the world of contractual labor where people are trained to accept everything as temporary. The genius of this film is that it manages to say something about Philippine society in the most subtle of ways." (Philbert Ortiz Dy). Directed by Jade Castro, the film was hailed by many critics as one of the best films of 2007. It won the Special Jury Prize, Best Actress award (Ina Feleo) and Best Editing award from the Cinemalaya Festival of 2007, and the Best Screenplay and Best Actor (Jason Abalos) awards at the Gawad Urian of 2008. It competed officially at the Nantes International Film Festival in France in 2008. "Endo" is the Filipino
slang term/abbreviation for "end of contract."
