Batang PX (English: "Fil-American Kid") is a 1997 Filipino drama film written and directed by Jose Javier Reyes.

It also stars Edu Manzano, Nida Blanca, Anna Larrucea, Piolo Pascual, and Cherry Pie Picache.

Amboy, played by Patrick Garcia, is one of the Fil-Am kids patiently anticipating his father's homecoming and yearning to meet him.

The story is narrated by Amboy, who reflects on his mother's difficult upbringing in Olongapo City, Zambales.

One night, seeking escape, she finds work as a nightclub hostess, where she meets and falls in love with an American soldier named Michael Dahoff.

Tension escalates when a woman named Monica arrives, revealing a complicated situation with Danny, which culminates in a public confrontation as he forces her into a taxi, drawing the attention of their neighbors.

While Amboy is excited to receive gifts from his father, Tessie refuses them due to her resentment over being abandoned.

When Amboy hears about his mother's situation from neighbors, he rushes home to find her with visible bruises.

The following night, a noise in the living room prompted Amboy to prepare for an intruder with a baseball bat, but Tessie took charge and confronted Danny, who was drunk and had been expelled from the home.

Enraged by his attitude, Tessie attacked him, leading to a struggle where Danny attempted to grab the bat.

The commotion drew attention from Aling Cedes and her family, who were horrified by the scene and revealed that Danny had a reputation for being dangerous in the neighborhood.
