collaboration with BPED-PE 2A, this film presents an adaptation of Kabanata 15, “Ang mga Sakristan,” from Dr. Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere.
This chapter tells the heartbreaking story of the brothers Crispin and Basilio, two young sacristans burdened by poverty, injustice, and abuse of power. Through their struggles, the film highlights the harsh realities faced by the oppressed during the Spanish colonial period and reflects Rizal's call for compassion, justice, and social awareness.
Developed and filmed in under two weeks, this project was produced alongside another literary adaptation—Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid—which shared the same production timeline and deadline. The simultaneous development of both films demanded efficient planning, creative precision, effective collaboration, and unwavering dedication from the cast and production team.
Despite the challenges of managing two distinct stories at once, the project remained committed to preserving the themes and messages of each work.

This film revisits The Little Mermaid as it was originally written—a darker, tragic story of sacrifice, unspoken love, and the longing for a soul. Stripping away familiar fairytale endings, it invites viewers into a world where desire comes at a cost and silence carries weight.

Alamat sa Ilog Pasig is a reimagined look into José Rizal’s El Filibusterismo, told not through the eyes of its central characters, but through the whispers of ordinary people who lived in the shadow of unfolding history. This trailer blends CGI, motion design, and atmospheric storytelling to breathe new life into the legend rumored to haunt the river.
In this interpretation, the death of Ibarra becomes the spark of a haunting tale—yet the truth remains blurred. Elias dies at the riverbanks, Ibarra escapes, and what follows is the birth of a rumor that spreads across communities: a restless spirit rising from the waters, seeking justice for the wrongs done that night. The people of the Pasig River—fishermen, vendors, travelers—share fragments of the story, each adding their own fear, awe, and imagination. Their voices piece together a myth that feels as real as the river itself.
Alamat sa Ilog Pasig offers a fresh, immersive, and culturally rooted perspective on El Filibusterismo, turning history into folklore and folklore into a cinematic experience.
Dangal is a visual tribute to the enduring spirit of the Filipino—connecting the courage of revolutionaries, the conviction of nation-builders, and the sacrifices of modern-day heroes through a seamless blend of CGI, motion design, and symbolic storytelling. The piece bridges timelines to show that dignity remains the heartbeat of our people, regardless of the generation.
At its core, the narrative begins with Macario Sakay, whose unwavering defiance and continued fight for independence embody the raw, uncompromising form of Filipino honor. His story is followed by the steadfast leadership of Josefa Llanes Escoda, whose advocacy for women, education, and empowerment during wartime reflects dignity expressed through compassion and service. Lastly, with the journey of OFWs, ordinary Filipinos who shoulder the weight of sacrifice across oceans, proving that modern heroism is lived quietly through endurance, love, and the pursuit of a better life for those they leave behind.
Dangal stands as a cinematic testament to the Filipino soul—resilient across battles, generations, and borders, carrying dignity like a flame that never fades.
