Watch Cinemalaya 2018. They have great lineup of films this year (well, they do have great lineup every year). This film festival is always giving me a breath of fresh air. Never disappoints. So I'm recommending it. I haven't watched any of it so far. Planning to do it next weekends. Btw, Buy Bust by Erik Matti and Liway by Kip Oebanda were frontliners of good reviews.

Join us for PechaKucha Night and learn more about our field workers’ humanitarian journeys. Through 20 images presented 20 seconds each, they will talk about working in countries such as Pakistan, Yemen and South Sudan, or of treating patients almost unheard of in the West. We will hear their heart-breaking yet uplifting stories and ask ourselves the questions: ‘How does this affect us?’ and ‘What is our obligation to help?'
