Garcia's "Mga Bag-ong Nawong (sang Damgo kag Katingalahan)" or The New Faces (of Dreams and Mysteries) is one of the 23 entries in the Southeast Asian Short Film Competition, and one of the only three from the Philippines. "I am honored to compete alongside two other Filipino film makers," the 25-year-old former news reporter said after the shortlist was released by organizers of the largest and longest-running film event in Southeast Asia since 1987 on Tuesday. Lav Diaz, whom Garcia considers as "one of my idols in Philippine Cinema", is also in contention with his entry "Himala: A Dialectic of Our Times" as well as Shireen Seno, who directed "To Pick a Flower". Garcia told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Wednesday that despite the challenges posed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, he went on to pursue his passion for making films. "The pandemic is not a hindrance. I'm thankful to the people who helped me - from our producers down to anonymous donations," he added. Garcia's 11-minute flick, shot between September and November in Sagay City last year, is listed with the entries from Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan under the Southeast Asian Short Film Competition-Programme 2, where films are described to demonstrate a range of interdisciplinary expressions, including dance, performance, traditional craft, digital animation, and sound design. "A pandemic confronts us with a new masked reality. As masked personas take over, we question what has come before and what is to come," a blurb of the "The New Faces (of Dreams and Mysteries)" states. Running from November 25 to December 5, this year's SGIFF, which showcases over 100 films from more than 40 countries, will be held in cinemas only, and will not have online screenings. Garcia said he won't be able to fly to Singapore during the event due to Covid-19 travel restrictions but looks forward to the film's international premiere on November 27. "The New Faces (of Dreams and Mysteries)" is one of the 16 short films in the Philippines funded by the National Committee on Cinema of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts for its Eksena Cinema Quarantine Project for 2020-2021. Before being shortlisted in the Singapore film festival, Garcia's work has been recognized in various competitions across the country. The film was the Gawad Alternatibo's 2021 Best Regional Entry and 2nd Best Film (Experimental Category), and a finalist in the 1st Sine Isla: LuzViMinda of Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino of the Film Development Council of the Philippines, and was also featured in exhibitions at Bakunawa Cinema of the Young 2021 and Nabunturan Film Expo 2021. Garcia's directorial debut "Buding Ang Babayi Nga Naglutaw (Buding, The Woman Who Floated) was also a top winner in the Sine Negrense: Negros Island Film Festival and Cine Kasimanwa: Western Visayas Film Festival in 2019, and a Jury Prize winner in the Bamasa Film Festival 2020.

February 11, 2021
EB MAGALONA Mayor Marvin Malacon on Thursday, February 11, 2021, said the claims of environmental groups that dredging activities in the town will threaten livelihood are “baseless.”
Green Alert, who are opposing the project, claimed that the activity will threaten the blue crab industry of the town.
Malacon on Thursday said the project, which was approved first by the national government and passed on to local government units, aims to unclog and desilt the river mouths of town major rivers that caused flooding for years.

COVID-19 filmmakers’ diaries get candid on death, despair, coffee and chaos
Watching all 16 films and trying to relate to each and every one of their stories feels like reliving all ten months of the lockdown—exhausting as if stuck in an oven, baking for a protracted amount of time until you are numb to the fire, until people are reduced to numbers of deaths and recoveries, likes and dislikes, until life shrinks into your phone or your computer. We are not dealing with just the virus but with an even bigger threat to our lives and civil liberties.
