Baby Ruth Villarama
INILABAS na ng award-winning documentarist na si Baby Ruth Villarama ang teaser para sa bago niyang obra, ang “Food Delivery: Fresh from the West Philippine Sea”.
Isa ito sa mga napiling entry para sa 2025 Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival na ngayon pa lang ay inaasahan nang hahakot ng awards at siguradong pag-uusapan ng publiko dahil sa napapanahong isyu sa pagitan ng Pilipinas at China.
Direk Baby Ruth Villarama has described “Food Delivery” as a film about unity, sacrifice, and the Filipino spirit and what she hopes 2025 Puregold CinePanalo audiences find in her film is a sense of empathy and connection to the people who are often unseen in protecting our food, and by extension, our sovereignty.
Sabi ni Direk Baby Ruth, “We want the audience to understand that sovereignty is not just a political issue, it’s a deeply personal one for every Filipino.
“From the fishermen risking their lives to feed their families, to the Coast Guard and Navy personnel delivering food to the soldiers on remote outposts, Food Delivery illustrates the shared sacrifice and the collective love we all have to protect our way of life,” aniya pa.

Sabi pa ng premyadong filmmaker sa inilabay niyang official teaser ng “Food Delivery”, “Atin ang West Philippine Sea. Pero marami pa rin sa kababayan natin ang naiipit sa kaguluhan dito. Marami rin ang gustong tumulong.”
Villarama is best known for her documentary “Sunday Beauty Queen” which won Best Picture at the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival. Bukod dito, active rin siya bilang producer at documentary director for local and international news organizations.
Many of the documentaries co-produced by Villarama take a socially-conscious angle, and as such, have been featured in international festivals in Cannes, Berlin, Venice, and others.
Bukod sa “Food Delivery”, ang iba pang entry sa CinePanalo 2025 full-length category ay ang mga sumusunod: JP Habac’s “Olsen’s Day”, Christian Paolo Lat’s “Journeyman”, Mes de Guzman’s “Sepak Takraw,” Jill Singson Urdaneta’s “Co-Love”, Catsi Catalan’s “Fleeting”, TM Malones’ “Salum”, and Tara Illenberger’s “Tigkiliwi”.
