“Milkyboy” was the only Philippine entry that won an award in the festival. Eleven Philippine films were accepted in the festival\u2019s feature, documentary and short film categories.<\/p>\n

On the festival’s website, \u201cMilkyboy\u201d is described as the story of Rey, a child star whose sole claim to fame is playing a superhero character called \u2018Milkyboy\u2019 in a TV milk commercial. Now in his 30s, Rey is an alcoholic stuck in a dead end job in a fading advertising company.<\/p>\n

In the updated biography of Arre, the award is described as \u201ca juried award that recognizes the creative and innovative use of the language of cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n
