For its courage to tell a story of a fsther and a son separated by political beliefs but bound by their mutual desire to seek justice for a wife and a mother and for all the other desaparacidos reminding us that the personal is political; for its use of realism and slow-paced editing to immerse in the character’s pivotal moments; and, for channeling the youth’s boundless energy to the long struggle toward social justice…

The Sinag Maynila 2025 Jury Prize for Student Short Film goes to…

Walahanon!!!!

Sugar Brown proudly congratulates the Literature 153 students of Prof. Jonathan Jurilla and the rest of the team Walahanon for this remarkable achievement!

Perfect timing! The trailer dropped just in time to commemorate the 53rd anniversary of Martial Law and the Trillion Peso March yesterday! ❤ Walahanon by Kristal Kaye Tadle is a story about the right to voice our frustrations against a powerful system that strips away our right to live and express our humanity.

Sinag Maynila 2025 will be screened in theaters this September 24-30, 2025 at Gateway, Robinsons Manila, Robinsons Antipolo, SM Mall of Asia, SM Fairview, Trinoma, and Market Market.
