During the campaign Noy becomes more aware of the responsibilities of real journalists.

Noy by co-directors Coco Martin and Dondon S. Santos is the Phillipines' official selection to the 83rd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. It uses an interesting concept of mixing actual documentary footage of the presidential campaign of Noynoy Aquino with the fictional narrative. But ultimately is a let down with poor editing and cheesy dialogue.
