Susundan din ito ng mga online screening at tatakbo mula Hunyo 25 hanggang 26, 2022.

Ang Healthy Pilipinas ay isang kampanya sa pangunguna ng DOH na layuning hikayatin ang mga positibong habit sa kalusugan ng mga Pilipino lalo na sa pag-iwas sa pagkalat ng mga sakit.

Katuwang nila rito ang FDCP simula noong 2021. “Who would have thought that FDCP and DOH would champion together both of their advocacies in a way that is very relatable and very engaging to our audience. It’s amazing how being in lockdown has spurted creativity even in isolation. The film community stayed active with writing, story development, and preparing for the time that shoots and filming will be allowed again. We excitedly took this on as health has become a paramount concern for every person globally. It is the right time to harness the power of cinema and social media to communicate something relevant,” pahayag ni FDCP Chairperson Liza Diño sa media confe­rence na naganap last Tuesday.

are very much excited about this initiative.”

Six filmmakers from around the country and the regions were tapped to produce a film of not more than 17 minutes each presenting a different health issue.

Ang anim na filmmakers ay nagmula sa Pampanga, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga, at Metro Manila.
