Ligaw Liham (2007)

Nor, a typical provincial lad, finds an opportunity to fall in love even at the expense of assuming the identity of someone else. This is a story on how deeply people get affected when one of society's basic services stops working. Ligaw Liham takes inspiration from a true incident involving a provincial post office in Negros that simply stopped working at a pre-texting era when people tend to be completely dependent on the mailing system-letters were neither coming nor going, leaving an unaccounted number of corrupted lives. Sometime in the '70s, in a small town in Negros, the post office simply stops its operations. No one knew about this except for the postman and his caretaker. When Nor finds out about this secret, he finds an opportunity to connect with his childhood crush Karen. The young man assumes the identity of another person by forging letters hidden in an old warehouse of the town. Nor takes over the pen of Karen's husband who is working in Saigon. Soon after, a correspondence between Nor and Karen takes place. And Nor finds himself truly falling in love. (Source: Cinemalaya YouTube Channel) Edit Translation
