Manila, Philippines -- In April 2016, Precious Pages Corporation, the maker of Precious Hearts Romances Pocket Books, called for amateur film makers to participate in their momentous project.
40 of those dashing film makers joined the said invitation, to create and direct a film with a unique ingredient and that will envision the Precious Hearts Romances Pocket Books. Student and Film Enthusiasts submitted all their great entries just to be one of the finalists and hoping to enter the competition.
After a long and agonizing review of those films that were submitted, only 10 were chosen to be shortlisted.
The judges from PHR have chosen unique concepts and out-of-the-box ideas that could still maintain the romantic personality of Precious Hearts Romances have embodied.

This September 3, at 2pm, the 5 films that were created by the 5 finalists of the Precious Hearts Romances: "Precious Pelikula" will be screened for the fist time and be uploaded online, as the the readers and movie goers will be called to vote for their favorites.
