The Sinag Maynila Independent Film Festival’s Gabi ng Parangal

The Sinag Maynila Independent Film Festival’s Gabi ng Parangal gave tribute to outstanding independent filmmakers last September 8, 2024 at the Manila Metropolitan Theatre. It was a night of celebrating the exceptional creativity that was showcased in the 6th edition of the Sinag Maynila Film Festival.

The Gabi ng Parangal was graced by founders Director Brillante Mendoza and Mr. Wilson Tieng. It was also attended by Film Development Council Chairman and CEO, Director Jose Javier Reyes, Manila City Mayor Honey Lacuna, Manila City Vice Mayor Yul Servo, and City Government Department Head III of the Department of Tourism Culture and Arts of Manila Charlie Dungo. Filmmakers, actors, and esteemed guests also arrived in their best Filipiniana attire, and paraded the hallways of the historic MET.

The evening started with socials prepared by the festival’s sponsors. The ballroom was packed with like-minded people with a common goal of uplifting the Philippine Film Industry. The guests enjoyed their interactions until it was time to proceed with the main event.

The atmosphere inside the theatre was electric in anticipation of the announcement of winners.
