Hosted by beauteous Irina Feleo and hunky Paolo Paraiso, the 15th Cinemalaya Film Festival awards night offered so much young sentiments and brilliant production numbers. Compact and concise, the awarding ceremonies went on fast, and clear, and concise. And Cinemalaya people even promoted other coming film festivals at the end of the program proper, with Mr. Chris Millado (representing the Cultural Center of the Philippines "higher-ups") inviting everybody once more on the coming Cinemalaya 2020 and creating good impressions on everyone about their unselfish convictions.

"John Denver Trending" was the big winner in this year's Cinemalaya 15. But director Eduardo Roy, Jr. (director of "Fuccbois") surprised everybody for the Best Director win, because many expected it's the director of "John Denver Trending" who's gonna grab the directorial award.

The feeling was young, vibrant and alive. And this year, the rains did not show-up on the awarding night. Maybe the prayers of the many young, fresh and raw film makers helped. As their dreams of becoming full-pledged film makers happened and was visibly felt that very night.
