I, Tonya tells the story of real-life figure skater Tonya Harding (played by Margot Robbie).

This indie musical is based on a Palanca-winning play by Vincent de Jesus. It revolves around the relationship—or rather, the demise of the relationship—of Alex and Cris. Throughout the story, their genders switch, meaning sometimes the relationship is between a man and a woman or a man and a man, or a woman and a woman. There are times when Alex would be played by Agot Isidro or Jojit Lorenzo, who will then be paired with either Anna Luna or Sandino Martin as Cris. It won the Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Music, and Audience Choice Awards at the 2017 Cinema One Originals Film Festival.

Screening schedule: March 16 at 6 p.m., March 17 at 4:15 p.m., March 18 at 6:15 p.m., March 19 at 6 p.m., and March 20 at 8:15 p.m.
Ticket price: P200
Rosa (Jaclyn Jose) works hard to make ends meet with their small convenience store at home, along with her husband Nestor (Julio Diaz). But what they make is still not enough, so they sell crystal meth on the side. They're eventually caught by the police, who then bribe them for money. Their four children do everything they can to get the funds and bail them out. The film was selected to compete for the prestigious Palme d'Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, where Jaclyn Jose earned the award for Best Actress.
