Conde’s Pagsubang sa Yuta is a documentation of the Matigsalog tribe in Marilog District at sitio Patag along with Sianne Gabrielle T. Camporedondo’s Balanse that features the Skylab vehicle in the said place. Kenneth E. Burcelis’s Iskabendyer has put the life of a night scavenger who is inspired by the words of a priest. The importance of giving life to what’s inconceivable in the eyes of the public is the role of the young documentarists.
The second part of the program made the audiences cheered as Princess Vanessa Labacar, the protagonist of Layag 2019 appeared. The story was about Ningning who was travelling to fetch the unfortunate characters victimized by society’s adversities.
