Short films produced by students from the Bachelor of Arts in Communication (BA Comm) program of UC College of Arts and Sciences have earned major awards in the IP C.I.R.C.L.E Leagueโs The Story Short Filmmaking Competitions for two consecutive years.
In 2023, their film โOrihinalโ won the Viewersโ Choice Award, followed by โPaglaya ng Lilaโ, which clinched the Peopleโs Choice Award in 2024.
