According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, at the Formosa Festival International Filmmakers Award (FFIFA) in Taiwan in 2022, two Filipino indies took home awards.
Will Fredo's short film "Siil" earned the Curator's Pick Award, while Arjanmar Rebeta's "An Sadit na Planeta" got the Award for Outstanding Eco-friendly and Placemaking Film.

"We're kicking off the new year with a bang!" "We just got a new laurel," Fredo stated in a Facebook post announcing his film's win. He went on to say that the prize came from a "hidden gem" in Taichung, Taiwan, where films with various subjects but all relating to the environment are shown.
"It's been a fantastic showcase for some of the most unique short films out there." FFIFA's welcoming attitude is invaluable. "Having a nomination would have been enough for me, but getting a nomination is just icing on the cake," said Fredo, who then shared the award with his cast members Teresa Loyzaga, Maureen Mauricio, and Josh Colet.
"Attract positive energy!" We've already received a congratulations email on the first day of the year. "I'm hoping for more good news in 2022," Rebeta expressed her optimism. He then enlisted the help of friends in Taiwan to represent the film at the FFIFA.

"As much as I'd like to go there, I don't have the financial means to do so—though I'm looking forward to more travel opportunities this year." I desire for everyone to hear more good news."
