Batang PX or "Fil-American kid" in English, is a 1997 dramatic film produced by Star Cinema. This award-winning movie was directed by an acclaimed writer and director, Jose Javier Reyes. Batang PX earned several awards and nominations from different award-giving bodies and was also responsible for bringing back Patrick Garcia to stardom.

The Philippines is considered as one of the biggest U.S. military bases in the world. It is not surprising that the population of Filipino-American children has risen. Most of them have fathers who abandoned them as soon as these fathers are re-stationed. Amboy, played by Patrick Garcia, is one of the Fil-Am kids patiently anticipating his father's homecoming and yearning to meet him. Stories from Amboy's mom are the only things he knows about his father. His wish is granted when he finally meets his father. However, things don't turn out the way they were planned.
