Students from the Bachelor of Science in Psychology (BS Psych) program of the University of La Salette, Inc. (ULS) won Best Picture in the Cine de Carig 2026, a film festival organized by the Santiago City government as part of the Balamban Festival.

The awarding ceremony was held at the Balay ng Santiago on May 4, 2026, where the student‑produced documentary “Hanggang May Maiuuwi” received the overall Best Picture award.

The film was directed by Jabez Verano, with Andrea Forcadilla, Alliza Bautista, and Prince Errol Manuel serving as members of the production team. All four are students of BS Psych.

In addition to Best Picture, the group also received Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Screenplay, and Best Sound, and was also a nominee for Best Poster.

“We want to showcase the life of a tricycle driver and how they live in this time of crisis,” Verano said, explaining the inspiration behind the documentary.

“Hanggang May Maiuuwi” portrays the daily life of a Santiagueño tricycle driver and single father, highlighting the realities of livelihood and family responsibilities.

The film festival forms part of the city’s cultural initiatives aimed at promoting local storytelling, creativity, and artistic expression among young filmmakers.
