“I want to congratulate the students from Alaminos City National High School in Pangasinan who created this award-winning film. They are proof that Filipino-made films are world-class,” Abalos said, referring to the students’ work titled “Sa Layag ng Bangkang Paurong.”
Abalos bared that the students who created the documentary were participants in the Metro Manila Film Festival’s (MMFF) student short film caravan.
With this, he encouraged other student-filmmakers to join the MMFF student caravan, which will have an online set-up this year.
The film caravan will provide students an opportunity to learn from distinguished filmmakers on the basics of filmmaking, cinematography, script writing, acting, directing techniques, viability considerations in producing films, and other filmmaking aspects.
