Padayon (2021) Episode 2: Nakaw (Stoten)

Substantially, "Padayon" has been relatively good. It's on the production technicalities where this series need to improve. Plot/storyline progressed on Episode 2: Nakaw (Stoten). Social inequalities and injustices were sensibly tackled on this episode -- so far, not in a preachy manner; hopefully it stays that way. Some character backgrounds were also presented. Script was generally conversational. Acting by the lead actors was alright. But audio-visuals were uneven. There were some distracting volume fluctuations. Scene transitions can also be made smoother. I liked the soundtrack "Himig ng Elehiya" (Sound of Elegy) by Lester Flores and performed by John. Overall, this was a good episode.
