DIIN KA RAMON?

Negrenses have faced tragedies and calamities, one after another, through their unwavering heart and spirit—an unyielding resiliency. Like the tall and firm tubo, they bowed their heads when the winds were too strong to bear yet lifted their chins up when the heat threatened their roots. Yet, their stalks, like all things, can only weather so much. Resiliency can only take the Negrenses so far. Rendered through a sorrowful love letter, this feature carries the plights of the Negrense people. An elegy to the hope that the pandemic has seemingly snuffed out yet a reverie to searching for that brilliant spark.

Director: Alessandra Sophia L. Diaz

Cast: David Reasol, Alliah Benedicto, Alice Molina
