FDCP Launches the Online 'Sine Wikain' Short Film Challenge

The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) is now calling for submissions for Sine Wikain: Sandaang Pagpapaalala, an online challenge celebrating the ‘Buwan ng Wika’ and the closing of ‘Sine Sandaan: The One Hundred Years of Philippine Cinema. Spotlighting the interpretation of ‘salawikain’ into vertical short films, #SineWikainChallenge is a social media challenge meant to remind Filipinos about childhood teachings while also providing positive content and values that could uplift us amid the pandemic.

The online short film challenge is an endeavor and vision shared by renowned actor Leo Martinez with FDCP. Under the challenge, participants may select any of the 100 salawikain in the list provided by FDCP and creatively interpret it into a short film shot on their mobile phones in portrait mode. Each short film must contain a maximum running time of two minutes.The various salawikain tackle a broad number of topics about life, love, family, friendship, and character development. It was partly inspired by the Good Moral and Right Conduct (GMRC) Law, which institutionalized GMRC and Character Development as part of the K-12 curriculum.

There will be two categories available depending on the participant’s age, an adult category and a youth category for those aged 17 and below. Any individual may place their entry online by simply posting on social media, either through Facebook, Twitter, and/or TikTok. Participants may likewise form groups with their friends with a maximum of three people under each submission. Each individual or group is limited to one entry for the challenge.

Participants of the #SineWikainChallenge will have the chance to win cash prizes, with a maximum of PHP 15,000 for the 1st place winners in both adult and youth categories, PHP 10,000 for the 2nd place winners, and PHP 5,000 for third place. In addition, FDCP will select 20 participants in each category to receive PHP 2,000. The winners will be announced on September 23, through FDCP’s Facebook and Twitter pages as well as on the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino and Sine Sandaan pages.

With the easy-to-join mechanics, FDCP urges the Filipino youth and our many users of social media to find creative ways of using their phones and social media platforms, and discover them as a source of filmmaking and promoter of positive values

Through digital solutions and impact-driven entrepreneurship, the program also aims to contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that ensure no person and no community are left behind in pursuit of sustainable development.

SAM BACK US UP IN THIS TIME OF COVID-19

 This havoc were in now should not be a hinder from keeping us on track, cause there are techologies & tools and reliable companies that can help and back us up especially in times like this, to keep us going and accomplish what needs to be, We can only be thankful for companies like Smart Asset Managers’ (SAM)! 

As others can only grope in the dark looking for financial sources during this time of Covid-19 pandemic, Smart Asset Managers’ (SAM) subscribers enjoys their financial rewards.

SAM founder, Rommel Santos said, they have learned to cope up with the global virus and they could hardly feel the financial impact of the health disease in terms of subscription. Except that the ongoing Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) has delayed the compliance with some government amenabilities in the Philippines before SAM can “fully” operate in the country.
“This only means that Covid-19 cannot stop us in doing what we are doing now,” Santos said. Seemingly, SAM has prepared for the global outbreak.

The rewards received by subscribers are pumped in daily in their respective wallets or accounts, regardless whether there is Covid-19 or otherwise, Santos explained.
Meanwhile, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has released the certificate for SAM Asset Managers Project Developments (SAMPD) last Friday, July 31, making the operation in this aspect, legal. Other pending licenses and registration for conventional businesses are for SAM Remittance, SAM Ride, SAM Delivery, among others.

“We do not want to invest. We don’t want to be part of the businesses. We only want to leverage in these businesses,” Santos said in reference to the subscription placed by people who believe in the DDK (Dinar Dirham Koin – SAM’s preferred crypto currency) financial technology or fintech.
Santos further explained that when people become more aggressive in inviting additional subscribers, creation of more projects under SAMPD, will be fast-tracked as well and “a lot of these projects can be leveraged effectively.” “Then you can help a lot of people enjoy their wealth with DDK,” the SAM founder explained.

In order to help the Philippine government, Santos is calling on all subscribers to spend their incentives from SAM. “Where else in the world can you find, you have to spend free money to earn free money.”

In addition, SAM is coming out with new Apps soon. It will be an improvement of the old apps.
