Jadrien Morales is a young filmmaker pursuing film at the Meridian International College. With an affinity for creating content that aims to spark conversation, he established Vision Media Productions at the age of 15 to create and promote avenues of growth for passionate young visionaries. Together with his group, he continues to produce documentaries and short films in hopes of expanding its network of possibilities and upholding its vision of amplifying the voices of the youth in today’s society. Their works have garnered recognition from several institutions, with passion and integrity at the forefront of their lenses.
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.
