FDCP CHAIRPERSON Liza Diño-Seguerra
The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) will once again host the second Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino (PPP) from Aug. 15 to 21.

PPP 2018, in partnership with all the theaters in the country, will select eight films to have their Philippine premiere during the event. “PPP was so well-received by our audience last year and we believe that this industry event is worth doing again this year. We are very proud that Filipinos came together to support our own and enjoy our amazing slate of quality genre films,” said FDCP Chairperson and CEO Liza Diño in a meeting with the producers at Salu Restaurant in Quezon City.

PPP 2018 is open to all Filipino producers with finished films who may submit more than one entry with the following criteria:

The film should have themes reflective of the Filipino sensibilities culture with wide audience appeal. The film should have been produced from 2017-2018.

The film must have its Philippine premiere during the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino and must not have been previously shown in any format in the country. Films which premiered internationally are eligible.

Deadline for submission of applications will be on June 15. For more information, visit www.fdcp.ph

Bianca, Miguel know each other well

Miguel Tanfelix and Bianca Umali

From the years they’ve worked together, Bianca Umali and Miguel Tanfelix (known as the tandem Biguel) definitely know each other well. In a Kapuso Web Specials video, they are shown answering questions while holding hands.

Asked how he sees himself five years from now, Miguel mentioned Bianca with whom he has travelled many times in the last five years. He has played various roles in his projects with GMA, and he has made life comfortable for his family. He is confident all his other plans for the future will come true.

And with the high ratings their show “Kambal, Karibal” is generating, Miguel is certain his home studio will give him other good projects and challenging roles after this.

“Kambal, Karibal” airs weeknights after “The Cure” on GMA Telebabad.
