BACKGROUNDER Fim Showing - “Insiang” is Lino Brocka’s tale of one girl’s coming of age in the slums of Manila. The title character played by Hilda Koronel, is a young girl who lives in a small shanty with her mother, Tonia (Mona Lisa). Her boyfriend Danny (Rez Cortez) treats her little better than a sex object and her mother’s lover Dado (Ruel Vernal), overcome by desire for young Insiang, rapes her in her own home. She runs to her mother for sympathy but gets rejected instead. Disillusioned and worn out, Insiang decides on revenge. Insiang has the distinction of being the first Filipino film to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 1978, where both Lino Brocka and Hilda Koronel garnered much attention and acclaim from the International film community. The film also earned a number of important awards and nominations including the Manila Film Festival best actress award for Koronel.

Insurance Coverage for OFWs - Where to apply

What is OFW Insurance? According to the Republic Act No. 8042 , otherwise known as the Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 1955, as amended, all migrant workers must be covered by compulsory insurance policy when they work abroad.
