The College of Computer Studies’ official film entry for this year’s SIGRAB Film Festival snagged the Best Short Film title during the Awards Night ceremony held today, April 22, 2025, at the Rose Memorial Auditorium.

In addition to winning the major title, “Ang Pulong Sang Mga Baboy” was nominated in seven categories and won four. Rio John Elenterio, the film’s director, was awarded Best Director, while assistant director and screenplay writer Christian Vego earned the film of the Best in Screenplay award. The film also took home Best in Production Design, thanks to Production Manager Johnuel Manalang, Head Production Designer Aron Sebongga, and Production Designers Neljhan Getia-Ayon, Kevin Rendell Amolar, Lea Mae Martirizar, Keith James Diasnes, and Clannel Sevilliana.

The official soundtrack, “Ampal ng Kalooban,” composed by Zenadine Zidane Pablo, with vocals by JC Gil Balicao and guitar by Ritchie Conrad Hoo, won Best in OST.

The film was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor (Jesse Jot Auman), Best Actress (Sky Coleen Dela Cruz), and Best in Editing.

The short film is a dystopian tale of “...a school where obedience is sacred and questions are sins, one student dares to seek the truth. Yet curiosity is never free, and the cost may be more than she can bear. With each step she takes, the swine closes in, weaving her fate into the fabric of a ruthless order.”

Congratulations to all the cast and crew of “Ang Pulong Sang Mga Baboy!” The CCS community is proud of you.

In celebration of the last day of Women's History Month, we honor an extraordinary and hardworking woman, mother, daughter, teacher, colleague, and college dean—our college dean, Ma. Christina A. Quijano, MSCS, otherwise known to the College of Computer Studies students and faculty as Ma'am Ting.

Whether you've had her as a professor in a major subject or simply know her as the dean of the college department, Ma'am Ting is undeniably a leader who harbors an immense amount of dedication to fostering a better college and community for the students and faculty members. Because of her active presence and leadership, the College of Computer Studies has become what it is known today: the best.

As International Women's Month comes to an end, this dedication not only goes to Ma'am Ting Quijano but also to the women who contributed to the development of the College of Computer Studies— the developers, creatives, librarians, student leaders, faculty members, staff, and those who have already graduated and retired since the inauguration of the college.

Happy International Women's Month! Thank you for everything that you do.

Magdalena G. Jalandoni is the Filipino Renaissance woman near you. Hailing from Jaro, Iloilo, this Hiligaynon writer has published 36 novels, 122 short stories, 7 novelettes, 7 long plays, 24 short plays, and volumes of personally compiled essays. She is a proud survivor of the Philippine Revolution, the Filipino-American War, and the Japanese Occupation where she was displaced twice from her hometown. Yet, she persevered until she received the prestigious Republic Cultural Heritage Award in 1977. Her works portrayed diverse themes such as the history of Panay and the Spanish and American colonial eras, to which literary critics praise her mastery of poetry and writing vivid imagery in her novels and short stories.

As of today, you can find Jalandoni's family ancestral house standing not far from the Jaro cathedral, the very home where she wrote her famous works, such as her poem "Ang Guitara" and others, including "Anabella," "Ang Dalaga sa Tindahan," and "Ang Kahapon ng Panay."

Magdalena Jalandoni was truly a beloved figure in Western Visayas who paved the way for Filipino women artists. She later passed away on September 14, 1978.
