Namets! is a 2008 Philippine independent film directed by Jay Abello. The film was a finalist in the full-length feature category of the 2008 Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival.[1] The film's title is a play on the Hiligaynon word namit, which means "yummy" or "delicious".
Plot
Jacko Teves (Christian Vasquez) owns Puccini's, an Italian restaurant in Bacolod. When a monstrous cock fighting debt sets him at odds with Boss Dolpo (Peque Gallaga), he offers his restaurant up as payment. Boss Dolpo brings in Cassie Labayen (Angel Jacob) as a consultant to renovate the restaurant. Much to Jacko's dismay, Cassie decides to offer Negrense cuisine instead of Italian. The pair then set off across the province re-discovering the unique aspects of Negrense food.
