Director Statement

Mission Bayong dives within the mobilization of awareness towards the promotion of justice and social concern. The bayong is an emblem that characterizes a society that believes in the power of collaboration, friendship, and magic. As Jonel, Tonio, and Estong encounter the bayong several times, they gain a profound view of the principle "Magbigay ayon sa kakayahan, kumuha batay sa pangangailangan." I believe that courage is the first step; you need to act to make an impact and this is the mission they need to fulfill — the mission that we all have to live by.
