CAPTURED IN LENS | Sine-Sulong 2025
The campus of Tarlac Agricultural University came alive once again as the Sine-Sulong Advocacy Documentary Screening opened its doors to thousands of TAUians eager to witness stories that champion development, humanity, and hope. Recognized as the biggest SDG-themed and socially relevant documentary showcase in TAU, this yearโs event marked a milestone in community-centered storytelling.
The opening program set a warm and inspiring tone. Dr. Sherwin S. Alar welcomed the crowd with heartfelt opening remarks, emphasizing how Sine-Sulong has grown into more than a film event. To him, it is a movement that continues to deepen TAUโs commitment to advocacy-driven communication.
A meaningful message followed from DevCom faculty and Chief of the TAU Information Unit, Nelmar A. Mallari, who proudly commended both the production and promotions teams. He shared how each yearโs documentaries continue to improve in craft and clarity, reflecting the growing maturity of student storytellers who dare to tell narratives that matter.
The event became even more special with the presence of the Department of Agrarian Reform. Ms. Garland Leila A. Cuarteros, Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II, extended her warm congratulations to TAU for its recent victory in PelikulAgraryo. She was joined by DAR officials Mr. Gerald A. Fontanoza and Mr. Gabriel A. Sabinorio, who also witnessed how the university nurtures advocacy through film.
