Comedy remains the heart of Philippine cinema; it maintains a strong presence annually during film festivals. According to a study by Dr Maria Rhodora Ancheta, a professor at the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman, humour is a Filipino national weapon—“one that is utilised not only to reflect social foibles and cultural beliefs, but also one that is used to train an apparently disparaging look at themselves as victims of embarrassing and painful historical, political, or cultural circumstances.” In short, it is superficial and deep at the same time, good-natured and serious, fun and progressive. 

The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) is going all out this September in honour of the film industry.
