A group of sophomore Multimedia Arts (MMA) students of the Malayan Colleges Laguna (MCL) emerged triumphant in the “Idol Ko si Rizal” video contest for their entry “Transisyonasyon.”
The group, which was composed of Ivan Descartin, Isaiah Shih, Kevin Peter and Christian de Ramos, bagged the gold prize, beating 57 entries in the national competition organized by the National Youth Commission (NYC) last October 27 at the Heroes Hall of Malacañang.
The team also got the Most Popular Video award after garnering the highest votes on Facebook.
A group of Multimedia Arts (MMA) students of the Malayan Colleges Laguna (MCL) wins in the “Idol Ko si Rizal” video contest for their entry “Transisyonasyon.”
President Benigno Aquino III presented the gold prize and Most Popular Video award to the MCL team who was accompanied by their adviser, Prof. Rogelio Valenzuela.
NYC, in coordination with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), launched the contest as part of the country’s commemoration of the 150th birth anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal.
The competition, which was opened to Filipinos age 15 to 35 years old, aimed to inculcate a sense of national pride and patriotism among Filipino youth.
The winners were selected by respected artists, filmmakers and public officials in the country including Cesar Montano, former Department of Tourism secretary Gemma Cruz-Araneta, and film director and producer Pepe Diokno.
The team’s entry started as a classroom project for their FIL014: Masining na Pagpapahayag subject. Later the video was selected as part of WikaMALAYAN, an event launched during the commemoration of Buwan ng Wika in August. Prof. Valenzuela then encouraged the team to join the contest.
The video title, “Transisyonasyon” is a portmanteau of transisyon and nasyonalismo.
“The term ‘Transiyonasyon’ is related to the transition of one's mindset, from one filled with questions to a cathartic one, for a better grasp of the meaning of nationalism. Rizal is within us all, armed with a quill and a paper, waiting for a wake-up call,” Descartin explained.
“Ang natutunan sa silid-aralan ay dapat ibahagi sa sambayanan. Kaya unawain ang mga aralin, magsaliksik at maging malikhain sa mga gawain,” Prof. Valenzuela added.
This is definitely another milestone for MCL as it walks the path of excellence.
