It is like any other day in Artiaga Street when men eat dogs and get drunk and women have to succumb to their husbands’ aggressiveness. Mariana, pregnant with her second child has been planning for this day. She is fed-up. She wants to break loose. On the ground floor, her husband’s dog barks incessantly. Upstairs the baby cries constantly waiting to be fed. She has to fight. A woman, too, has rights.

“Bugsay” is a creative documentary that paddles through the life of one of Iloilo’s most iconic figures: Honorato "Tatoy" Espinosa. From coconut trees to open seas. From a humble manokan to a legendary Ilonggo institution.

It’s a family's journey. It’s about paddling through life’s rough seas—with faith, with hard work, and with heart. Through food, stories, and the mystic powers of the ocean, we invite you to discover where Tatoy and his family came from—and why they keep moving forward.
