Mulanay sa Pusod ng Paraiso

The film is a true to life story, it was created and published a long time ago since 1996. This documentary is an
eye-opener that nothing will happen unless we move, or somebody will move. It was like a spark, that when it
started to flame up, it will crawl up to its end point. The same as the main character did. She demanded for a
change as so the community then follows. Every second counts by watching the film, every single message has
a powerful meaning. It shows the true face of reality and conviction; dignity, dedication, loyalty as its soul. A
positive outlook and an open heart. A truly remarkable film with heart and compassion. Ria Espinosa portrayed
the role of a newly licensed young doctor who ought to join the “Doctor to the Barrios” organization to help the
places where there is a need for medical assistances. There she met Norma a midwife located in the Barrio of
Mulanay in Quezon. Norma became her friend as she stayed on the said place. Dr. Ria Espinosa is an inspiring
individual, very rare person with a kind-heart who is eager to tackles the society’s need for sympathy. Her
driving motivation in serving the community is a gradual change of being new into something usual. A heart
with the passion to help; and the passion to change for the betterment. She came to realize that health is not the
only problem of the barrio. Many other concerns should be considered. The light supply, the water system, the
environmental threats, cleanliness and orderliness in the community.
