About Patintero: Ang Alamat ni Meng Patalo
10-year old Meng loves one thing: Patintero. The only hitch is that she’s terrible at it and her reputation has earned her the title of the neighborhood “patalo” (loser). But in the continuing struggle against the high school team that has one-sidedly claimed the territory of the local sari-sari store, Meng forms an unlikely team of fellow losers to finally challenge these high schoolers in the biggest game of their lives.
Directed by Mihk Vergara, Patintero: Ang Alamat ni Meng Patalo leans on a strong ensemble — Nafa Hilario Cruz, Lenlen Frial, William Buenavente — 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 2015.
