SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga โ With a blazing commitment to storytelling that empowers and enlightens, the Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU), through its Department of Development Communication (DevCom), claimed a sweeping and historic victory in the ARBO Category of the Department of Agrarian Reformโs PelikulAgraryo 2025 Regional Awarding held at DAR Regional Office Conference Hall.
The universityโs official entry โRang-Ayโโproduced, directed, and performed by its own DevCom studentsโnot only impressed judges but also stirred hearts, earning Best Film and six out of eight major awards: Best Editing, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Film. The film is now set to represent Central Luzon in the national level competition this August, reinforcing TAU DevComโs standing as a powerhouse in multimedia advocacy.
In his opening and inspirational message, Atty. Odgie C. Cayayab, DAR Assistant Regional Director, reminded the audience that agrarian reform is not just a policyโbut a human form. โLet us nurture a deeper awareness of agrarian stories,โ he urged, recognizing the role of visual narratives in shaping empathy and social consciousness.
Among strong contenders from leading universities, TAUโs film stood out for its poignant storytelling, technical mastery, and powerful performances that gave voice to the lived experiences of Agrarian Reform Beneficiariesโ Organizations (ARBOs). It was a triumph not only of skill but of purposeโcapturing the essence of DevComโs mission to be a catalyst for change through compelling narratives.
Other notable winners in the ARBO category included Bulacan State Universityโs Binhi, which earned Best Cinematography and 2nd Best Film, and Wesleyan University Philippines, which took 3rd Best Film.
Meanwhile, in the ARB Category, Tarlac State Universityโs Punla secured Best Film, with standout wins for Best Actor and Best Actress, while The Manila Times College of Subicโs Ang Huling Ani garnered multiple accolades including Best Editing, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and 2nd Best Film.
TAU DevComโs remarkable victory not only cements its place in the regional landscape of student filmmakingโit also reaffirms its commitment to social justice, rural empowerment, and development communication that uplifts the unheard. As the team advances to the national stage, the Kalatista community stands united in pride and purpose: telling stories that matter, and making every frame count.
