Inspiring short film
We were among those who recently watched at the Promenade Cinema an inspiring advocacy film directed by Paul Soriano for Joy-Nostalg Foundation. (JNF) Titled “Tagumpay Na Nagniningning,” it was conceptualized by JNF Chairman Jacinto Ng Jr. based on his own story, with screenplay by Froilan Molina. The film was produced by veteran producer-director Jeric Soriano, Paul’s dad.
The short film was conceived to embody the advocacy of Joy-Nostalg Foundation which is to help uplift the quality of life of the Filipino working classes by empowering them through education and counselling towards responsible home ownership. To promote this advocacy, JNF developed Pasinaya HELP (Home Empowerment Learning Program) which teaches them the basic principles of financial management, home ownership and appropriate family values.
At the core of Pasinaya HELP is the short film “Tagumpay Na Nagniningning” which depicts the dreams, struggles and success of the ordinary Filipino to improve their family life by having a home of their own. The theme song of the same title was also conceptualized by Jack Ng Jr. and composed and arranged by Tommy Katigbak and Eric Adorable with vocals by Gail Blanco and Dan Billano.
Both the film and theme song aim to educate and inspires viewers that with the right values and knowledge, and with love, owning a home is attainable and not impossible.
The film stars Neil Coleta, Jef Gaitan, Ronnie Lazaro, Hazel Orencio, Ruby Ruiz, and Julio Diaz.
