PATH TO NEW DIRECTION
With the constant change in the creative field, Perci Intalan paves the way to new and fresh stories through the art of film making. Imbibed with his creative prowess, continuously strives to be a multi-faceted talent and hopes to produce new films in the future.
Now more than ever, the LGBTQIA+ community has never been more loud. We’re beginning to see a re-emergence as the message gets clearer; they are here to stay. Village Pipol launched a Pride campaign “You Are” wherein any members from LGBTQIA+ community can participate. After hundreds of participants, each member gets to be highlighted on our official Facebook page, as well as through our other social media channels– sharing the message of pride.
On the other side of the spectrum, not everyone has a good support system. In the case of Ria Atayde, she gets her strength through the bond with her mother, Sylvia Sanchez. These mother-daughter star tandem was May 2022’s VP/Cover.
Despite the chaotic ins and outs of the pandemic, this gave us time to learn more about ourselves and develop a different perspective in life. Life is indeed short. There is definitely a lot to unpack. A million words we need to say. Deep breathes we need to master. But the Filipinos are known to be resilient.
I am looking forward to better years. Yes, we maybe recovering from the reality of the pandemic, but reality is our battlefield. Stay close and listen, our voices will be heard.
