The event was attended by our 10 talented finalists, fellow Kabataang Malabueรฑos, and aspiring young filmmakers who showcased their passion for storytelling through film.
As we celebrate the theme, โ1998 to Present: The Vision and Legacy โ From Municipality to Cityhood and Beyond,โ we are inspired by the remarkable stories that highlight the history, identity, resilience, and legacy of the people of Malabon.
Our heartfelt gratitude goes to our advisers, Ms. Luziel Gutierrez and Dr. Alexander Rosete, for their unwavering guidance and support. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Mayor Jeannie Sandoval and Congressman Ricky Sandoval for their continued commitment to empowering the youth and promoting arts and culture in our city.
Special thanks to Dr. Olivia Martin, School Head of Malabon National High School, for graciously providing the venue that made this meaningful gathering possible.
