Directors’ Notes:

“Quing Lalam Ning Aldo” is a documentation of their livelihood, the Sampaguita farming, and the memory of his favourite morning dish after picking Sampaguita, “Con Sale Ebun” which is a soup similar to tinola with lemongrass but replacing chicken with eggs. These memories are the main references in creating this film. This film explores the feeling of nostalgia and incorporates Kapampangan humor.
