PAMILYA ORDINARYO is the story of a young teenage couple living on the streets of Manila. Surviving as pickpockets, the life of Jane and Aries changes when they suddenly become teenage parents. But not even a month into parenthood, their child is kidnapped in a supermarket. In order to retrieve it, the young couple is forced to take desperate measures.

"PAMILYA ORDINARYO might not get the audience it should be getting, but everyone must go out and see this movie. And it’s mostly not for the fact that it’s a well-crafted film, but for the people to be familiar on what’s actually happening in the real environment." (www.filmgeekguy.blogspot.de)
