MANILA, Philippines — Nelson "Blog" Caliguia Jr.'s "Sulayman," a Filipino animated short film based on the Maguindanao folktale "Indarapatra and Sulayman," was victorious at two different short film festivals held in Florida, United States.
"Sulayman" won Best Animated Film at the PENSACON Short Film Festival and Best Animation (Traditional) at the FantaSci Short Film Festival.

The success of "Sulayman" at two Florida film festivals prompts reflection on the power of storytelling in animation. While the accolades are notable, one must consider how cultural narratives, such as the Maguindanao folktale, translate to global audiences. This raises questions about the impact of such narratives on broader perceptions of Filipino culture, offering a potential Quickwin for future projects.
