Film about OFW’s family is PH’s Oscars entry

Chito Roño’s film, Signal Rock, is the Philippines’ official entry to the Foreign Language Film category of the 2019 Academy Awards.

Regal Entertainment posted the announcement on their Facebook page and congratulated the team behind the film.

Signal Rock is about Intoy, a resident of a fishing town who had to take care of his parents when her sister decided to become an OFW.

The OFW married a foreigner to send money back home but when her husband turned out to be abusive, she seeks the help of Intoy to get her into safety.

The only place Intoy can have cellular reception to contact his sister is in a place where there are strange rock formations, hence the film’s title.

The film debuted in Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino where it bagged Critic’s Choice and Special Jury Awards.
