SPSHS films take center stage as they bag major awards at IslaKwento Film Festival in 54th Araw ng Siquijor

SIQUIJOR, Philippines — Student filmmakers from Siquijor Provincial Science High School (SPSHS) gained recognition as their entries Solili: Ang Buhi Kong Pagbati and Where Love Heals earned multiple awards in the IslaKwento Film Festival of the 54th Araw ng Siquijor, September 25, at El Pergentina Resort, Siquijor, Siquijor.

The competition began with 22 story pitches submitted by high schools across the province.

From these, a panel of renowned film directors selected the top 10 entries, which advanced to the production stage.

SPSHS was one of only two schools with multiple entries in the top 10.

The entry Solili: Ang Buhi Kong Pagbati, directed by Janina Mikaelov Calunod, emerged as Best Film.

The film also brought home the Best Actor Award for Xris Austell Dahili and Best in Production Design.

The story follows a young woman who returns home from the United States for a vacation to attend a wedding, where the traditional Siquijodnon dance, the Solili, is performed.

Struggling to recall the steps, she is suddenly reminded of her classmate who once guided her back in school, and the memories of those moments resurface as they reunite at the wedding.

The twist reveals that their bond deepens, leading to marriage — with the Solili becoming both a memory and a wedding dance.

Meanwhile, Where Love Heals, directed by Janna Mae Lingo-Lingo, secured 3rd Place and earned special awards including Best Actress for Mikayla-Rae Lao and Best in Original Score.

The film tells the slow-burn romance of two individuals whose chance encounter turns into love.

The twist unfolds with the revelation that the female lead is battling cancer, culminating in her death — turning the love story into a tale of healing, memory, and loss.

Both films, guided by mentors Arvin Magpiong (Solili: Ang Buhi Kong Pagbati) and Jacel Jane Barimbao and Dollie Jumawan III (Where Love Heals), earned the school not only trophies but also cash prizes.

This year’s IslaKwento marked its first staging, organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Siquijor with the support of the Provincial Government of Siquijor.
