*The first-ever animated short film that strongly supported and advocated the important legacy of Ilonggo culture and tourism potential.
*The first animated short film that unviels the connection and origin of three historical events in the country that retold the religio-cultural beginnings of three world-famous festivals: Iloilo City's Dinagyang Festival, Cebu's Sinulog Festival and Aklan's Ati-atihan Festival.
