interest of the masses and the Philippine film industry, study and celebrate the
achievement that will help define the good Filipino film, and cultivate the
knowledge and skills that the film medium was designed for, which is to be a
medium of communication and expression of our culture according to the standards
and conditions of filmmaking in our country."
