The Philippine Ballet Theatre is set to stage ‘Maria Makiling' this July
Sharing the spotlight in the titular role of Maria Makiling are Gabby Jaynario and Jessa Tangalin, who each bring their own unique voice and energy to the stage. Audiences can expect distinct portrayals between the two—promising to highlight Maria's strength and vulnerability on a personal level.
Playing the role of Maria's love interest, Juan, are Matthew Davo and Justine Orande. We've seen the two in previous PBT shows such as Sarimanok and The Nutcracker , so it's exciting to see their fresh takes on the different emotional sides to Juan's romantic yet heartbreaking journey.
Maria Makiling will have a limited run on July 5 and 6 at the Samsung Performing Arts Theatre. For more information, follow their social media pages.

Filipino stars shine bright at the Manila International Film Festival (MIFF) in Hollywood
MIFF in Hollywood celebrated the best of Filipino cinema, honouring achievements and global impact In a night of glitz and glamour at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, Filipino stars shone brighter than ever during the highly anticipated Manila International Film Festival (MIFF) last March 7. Originally planned to take place from January 20 to February 2, the event—already in its second edition—was rescheduled due to the devastating wildfires in some parts of Los Angeles. Nevertheless, the night was a success as the Philippine film industry was celebrated in Hollywood. The MIFF's mission is to elevate Philippine cinema on the global stage, and the event was a testament to the growing impact and enduring beauty of Filipino storytelling. As the actors gathered to honour their recent films, several awards were given to cement their great talents—Audience Favorite Awards, Lifetime Achievement, Visionary, Trailblazer and Special Awards. Filipino-American first responders in the Southern California wildfires were also saluted for their sacrifices and service to others. Sixteen films were screened for the MIFF, including entries from the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival, world premieres and select additional films.
