The National Commission for Culture and the Arts is set to hold the 2nd Sine Halaga Film Festival and Educational Resources, in partnership with the Negros Cultural Foundation, Inc.
The festival, through short films, aims to impart to students at least one of 20 Filipino values identified in a formal study in connection with Philippine development goals.

The study, conducted in 2019-2020 by educators Arvin Manuel Villalon and Jose Soliman Jr., was based on Chapter 7 of the Philippine Development Plan on "Promoting Philippine Culture and Values through Bayanihan."

"The films submitted to Sine Halaga were made in a way to evoke a response," Villalon said at the press conference to announce the finalists. "We would like to reflect who we are as Filipinos."

There are 16 finalists in the festival's second edition, eight each for the adult (professional) and student category.

Maximum length for professional entries is 15 minutes including opening and closing credits; for student entries, 10 minutes. High school students can join.

In the festival's first edition, 12 finalists in both categories were given grants of P100,000 each.
