June 15, 2009:  A short film by two Filipino directors has made it as one of six winners from the worldwide video contest organized by the US State Department and voted by the public online.  The film titled “Mabuhay ang Taong Magiting (Long Live the Fearless Man)” is a commentary on the state of Philippine democracy. 



From 900 entries worldwide, it has been selected as one of the the winning videos capturing the meaning of "democracy in today’s world by incorporating thought-provoking creativity with thoughtful dialogue."  The winner came from various walks of life and different political regimes. 

"It took novice directors Migs Ocampo and Aissa Penafiel only three hours to shoot the short film.  Pleased with their works inclusion, they said the short film is timely for the upcoming 2010 elections."  “Intention namin to shed critical light on this issue of what is democracy? Paano ba natin nakikita, tayong mga Pinoy, kung ano ba ‘yong form of government na ito," Penafiel said.  (source of quoted statements:  ABS-CBN News, http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/, June 15, 2009).
