Cande (2025) Review: A Heartfelt Journey of Childhood Friendship

Cande is that special little film that doesn’t need theatrics and big confrontation scenes to make its story felt.

‘Untold’ Review: How far can you go?

Untold is a timely reminder not just for journalists or those in the same industry, but it’s for everyone. For every person who is clinging to a knife, know that every decision matters. Jodi Sta. Maria adds another memorable character to her filmography. But it’s not a character we hope we can relate to.
