       During the Manila International Film Festival 2025 in Hollywood last February, the film earned standing ovations and praises from international filmmakers, and was adjudged as Best Picture, Best Actress (Morissette), Best Supporting Actress (Rachel Alejandro), and Best Supporting Actor (Noel Comia, Jr.). 

        “Song fo the Fireflies” tells the true story of our beloved children’s choir who, under the baton of the humble and passionate M’ Alma Taldo, defied the odds, transforming from a small-town ensemble into globally recognized performers. 

         The Loboc Children’s Choir began in the 1980s in the modest town of Loboc, with members aged just 9 to 13. They faced financial struggles and logistical challenges. But under Taldo’s guidance, they achieved what once seemed impossible. Their successes included victories at the European Folksongs Festival in Barcelona in 1993 and 1995; and a Gold Medal in the children’s choir category in 2001.

 “SONG OF THE FIREFLIES” is now showing at Screenville Cinemas of Island City Mall.
