Balikan natin ang kauna-unahang maikling pelikulang nagbigay buhay sa isang pangarap. 🎬✨
Before everything we have achieved and created today, there was “DAYO” the very first film project of Pintig ng Entablado Teatro Taytayeño Arts Inc. (PETTA Inc.)
An entry for the KILABOT Short Film Competition 2023, in collaboration with One Force Events and Talent Management, Wilbert Tolentino, and the AHON MAHIRAP Project.
This project was more than just a film. It was a collection of dreams, sacrifices, sleepless nights, laughter, challenges, and the passion of people who believed that together, we could create something meaningful.

Looking back, we may have started with limited resources, but we had something greater passion, dedication, teamwork, and a dream to tell stories.
This will always be unforgettable because DAYO was our first step into filmmaking. And every journey begins with that one brave step.
To everyone who became part of this project, thank you for believing, creating, and dreaming with us. This film will always hold a special place in our hearts. ❤️🎬
Once a dream, now a beautiful memory. And hopefully, the beginning of many more stories to tell.
