Busong is the indigenous Palawan concept of Fate or instant Karma. Nature reacts instantly to man's disrespect of nature and other men. Punay was born with wounds in her feet so that she cannot step on the earth. Her brother, Angkarang, carries her through a hammock, as he searches the changing landscape of Palawan in hoping to find a healer who can cure Punay. Different people help him carry his sister along the way- a woman looking for her husband, a fisherman who lost his boat and a young man who is searching for himself- and each one meets their fate. The first Palawanon indigenous film.

Proud of the movie’s outcome, he (Aureus Solito) attributed the film’s success to its lead stars.
“Alessandra (de Rossi)--I met the manager. He told me that he was looking for a good role for her. I said I’ve always wanted to direct her. I wanted a morena because I wanted a Palawan look.

How is it working with Alessandra de Rossi? Is this your first time to work with her? Why did you choose her for the lead role?
She is the best. Para kaming may psychic link. Connect na connect ang isip namin. Precise- kuhang kuha niya ang nai-imagine ko. Grabe! At pro na pro, walang arte. Walang reklamo, kahit anong hirap ng terrain sa Palawan, bundok, dagat at kagubatan. Alessandra embodies the morena Filipina. I wonder why we are so fixated on becoming white skinned when the kayumanggi is what we really are.

How was it working with your lead actress, Alessandra de Rossi?
Isang salita lang ang masasabi ko kay Alessandra de Rossi — uncanny! Kakaiba ang talento ni Alex. Napaka-precise niya kumuha ng directions. Grabe! Kung paano ko na-imagine ang eksena sa pag-arte ng role niyang si Punay, ang sugatang dalaga ng Palawan, ay eksakto ang kanyang pag-interpret. Para bang may psychic link kami.
At napaka-professional niya, ni minsan ay walang reklamo—kahit inuulan na kami sa taas ng bundok, kahit sa tinding init ng batuhan sa Tarabanan, Puerto Princesa, kahit giniginaw na siya sa paglusong sa waterfall sa Brooke's Point, at malakas man ang alon sa Sabang ay walang ka arte-arte.
Nakaka-inspire siya i-direk. She is one of the most talented actresses that I have ever directed. I plan to cast her in the remaining two parts of my Palawan trilogy!
