Encounter 2019

Encounter (2019) is a film from Philippines in the lookmovie catalog, running 1s. Directed by Mark Q. Lifana, it features Jomar Allan Solania and JJ Bacarro. Jomar visits his hometown in Bayawan City to retrace the memories he had when he was a child. Upon arriving, he meets Jj, a local from the area. Persistent in being a tour guide, Jomar who was hesitant at first, eventually gave in to Jj. They try the city’s local delicacies like “baye-baye” (a dessert made of grated coconut and ground corn or young rice) and “batchoy” (a noodle soup made with sliced pork, innards, cracklings, and round noodles) while exchanging family stories. A pleasant encounter indeed
