About Batang PX
Former nightclub singer Tessie is a single mother living with her son Christopher, a teenager who longs to meet his American soldier father. But when Christopher's wish comes true, the reunion is not at all what he expected. Meanwhile, although she has a long history of choosing bad boyfriends, Tessie firmly believes that Danny, a car salesman, is the right man for her.
Directed by Jose Javier Reyes, Batang PX leans on a strong ensemble — Patrick Garcia, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Edu Manzano — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1997.
