    It's for the Irish Market I think? Lots of pinay nurses in Ireland, it shows the tale of a pinay immigrant in Ireland, must have been one of the first ones there if she was a child in manila in the 1940's

    But will the average Irish person "get" the lola, bless, parol theme?

    It's is very nice apart from the constant need to push 'The House of Mouse' but I am being an ungrateful cynic, it's typical Disney and is very good at tugging the heart strings.

    Probably not but the cultural exchange is a nice one.

    Two very Catholic countries, strongly influenced by the church one a bit less so today, I have to say I love the atmosphere in Manila at Christmas even though I long ago left the Catholic faith.

    I wasn't aware of a lot of Philippine immigration in Ireland but it's good to know.
