Unanimously given a �G� rating because of no objectionable scenes for all audiences. Moreover, the movie sends good moral lesson to its viewers.

Flashing on the silver screen are scenes�that bring a lump in my throat.

Daily Tribune
The feature is considered a hybrid film done in the way of Al Gore�s An Inconvenient Truth and other hybrid genre at Sundance festival. It is far from most mainstream movies that tend to romanticize and trivialize Filipino migrant workers� concerns.
