ISLAMABAD, 30 March 2023 – In celebration of the 2023 Women’s Month, the Philippine Embassy in Islamabad, led by Ambassador-designate Maria Agnes M. Cervantes, in coordination with the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), held a Free Film Screening of Jose Javier Reyes’ movie “Ano ang kulay ng mga nakalimutang pangarap?” (What are the colors of forgotten dreams?) on 18 March 2023 at the Philippine Embassy Chancery.
The movie revolved around the character of Teresa, a nanny who took care of three children Andre, Vincent, and Stella. Upon the death of their mother Mercy, the siblings decided to sell their family’s properties, which resulted to the conflict of where would Teresa stay and who will be taking care of her, considering she does not have a family of her own and is financially incapable of supporting her retirement. The movie discusses the Filipino culture of helping extended family members to the extent of not saving for personal retirement and of the lifetime dedication to service to employers of Filipino household service workers.
The activity was attended by all Embassy personnel, the Office of the Police Attaché, and 7 Filipinas in Pakistan who were also provided with a short financial literacy lecture. The financial literacy lecture focused on the importance of being financially literate and small ways on how personal budgeting can help achieve financial literacy.
Filipino food, such as Pinoy style spaghetti and toasted bread, and popcorn snacks were served to guests at the activity. END
