The Indiependent Collective's First Short Film, Iska!
MAYA Film Production, in partnership with The Indiependent Collective, brings to you this short film entitled ISKA. Sofia, the main character, is a local from Bicol who moved to Manila to take the chance to study at a university with a full scholarship, discovering the fun and dark side of living in the city as an iskolar ng bayan. This film shows how hard life can be for a person who is willing to take the risk of moving into the city to study and reach for her dreams not just for herself, but also for her family. It also shows the social classification of Filipino that affects the lives of everyone especially those who belong to lower to poor. It is really hard for them to pursue their dreams because poverty can now be inherited in the present. We cannot blame people for being poor for the rest of their life because when we do not know exactly how hard it was for them to survive a day. That all we have to do is understand and extend our help to them as much as we can.

It’s safe to say that Derrick Gaw is a success on his own — he handles a whole region as its quality business partner only after seven (7) months with only a handful of experience while finishing up his Masters at De La Salle University-Manila. He's also the Founder and CEO of a swiftly rising business, Colin's Manila. Colin's recently turned one and partnered with our brand for our February Event.

Ivy's Bakeshop was definitely successful in creating chocolate chip cookies and crinkles as decadent as possible while avoiding the dreaded 'umay' or 'nakakasawa' factor. Each cookie is packed with flavor and has a pleasantly gooey and chewy texture that cookie connoisseurs, such as myself, will like. Don't get me wrong: the cookie dough isn't raw, but it has a unique texture that plays with your senses. Its delicious flavor and outstanding texture will win you over.
