Gigi (Jelieta Mariveles-Ruca) from Arakan Valley is a rebel who teaches young comrades the facets of their struggle as they remain in waiting after they are ambushed. In a nearby village, Junjun (Jun Lizada) and his fellow soldiers take a rest. He attempts to chance upon a girl he longs for, but instead encounters a balyan/tagbawian (shaman) in a very disturbing situation. Somewhere, two kids, Abyan and Busaw, trek the forest back to their mother. "Huling Balyan ng Buhi : O Ang Sinalirap nga Asoy Nila" weaves the tales of rebels in waiting, playful soldiers at rest and a troubled balyan (village healer) in an ambiguous predicament. A quandary ushers them all to one encounter that can brings to light questions of transcendence.—pinoyfilm
