Cine Maralita: Films on the Filipino Urban Poor

CINEMARALITA is a film festival featuring and reflecting on the life and the plight of the Filipino urban poor. It seeks to deepen the discourse and magnify through film the social and systemic conditions that bind the Filipino urban poor struggling within various forms of institutional discrimination and inequalities.

This CINEMARALITA at UPD will focus on the urban poor community of Sitio San Roque and will serve as a fund-raising event for the benefit of the campaigns and advocacy of the Save San Roque Alliance.

It is a joint effort of the Save San Roque Alliance, SIKAD, and RESBAK in cooperation with the Urban Poor Resource Center of the Philippines (UPRC Phils) and the UP Film Institute.

Save San Roque Alliance is a broad group of volunteer architects, engineers, educators, organizers, artists, writers, and students, among others, formed in solidarity with the urban poor community of Sitio San Roque, Brgy. Bagong Pag-asa, Quezon City. The primary advocacy of the Alliance is to assert the rights of the said community to proper state housing and just development programs. The Alliance continuously collaborates with the San Roque community to craft and campaign for the implementation of the Community Development Plan (CDP), an on-site housing development proposal that aims to preserve the community in its present site and provide adequate and decent housing to its residents.
