Wazzup Pilipinas!

In line with the celebration of the National Women’s Month and in honor of Filipino women and their contributions in shaping families and societies, Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), together with Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) are launching the CineMarya – a festival of short films centering on women.

“The festival aims to tell stories of Filipino women, more than their beauty, but their strength and passion, rising above prejudice and struggles in society,” said FDCP Chairperson Liza Dino during the launch of the Festival last March 23 at the FDCP Cinematheque Center Manila. The launch was also attended by DILG Asec. Marjorie Jalosjos and Chief of Corporate Affairs and Information Resource Management Division of the Philippine Commission on Women Ms. Honey M. Castro.

For its first year, CineMarya will grant a seed money of One Hundred Thousand Pesos (P 100,000.00) to interested participants aged 18 to 30 years old to produce a 10 to 20-minute short films tackling women empowerment, different roles of women in the society, and awareness about diverse social issues on women and equality and others. The festival is open to filmmakers who have not yet made a feature film/documentary.

As part of the Festival as well, FDCP will conduct an educational component for the ten (10) finalists of CineMarya by providing two (2) slots (preferably the director and another representative) to the FDCP Filmmaking Workshop Series – Planting Seeds and Film Industry Conference during Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino 2018.

The finalists will also have the privilege to undergo the CineMarya film camp - a 2-day intensive filmmaking workshop in a secluded area in Rizal featuring multiple filmmakers, PCW representatives, and others. Each production team’s director shall serve as a fellow for this intensive program that would help develop their skills in story development, editing, and other elements of filmmaking to better advocate women empowerment. 

Applicants may submit their entries to FDCP from April 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018.

Practice and Perform
If you’ve got a knack for a certain activity, whether it’s a living statue, playing an instrument, performing a circus-like skill or anything in between, there’s no reason why you can’t take this skill on the road in the form of street performing and busking.
You’ll need to make sure that you’ve perfecting your skill and can stand out from the rest in order to be successful, but you can earn a lot of money doing this. However, as you can imagine, some days can be really good whereas others won’t be, so it’s quite hit or miss.

Join a Travelling Show
Hand in hand with the consideration above, signing up and becoming employed with a travelling show is a great way to earn money and travel. In most cases, you’ll also be able to eat, drink and sleep without having to pay.

While a circus instantly springs to mind, there is a tonne of shows, including dance and theatre shows, comedy shows and even bands who will tour and will employ somebody, or a group, to come with them and help them set up and ensure jobs are completed.

You’ll need to fill in or write an application form to ensure that you can secure your place in these shows. If you’re stuck for ideas, try using writing guides like State of Writing or Via Writing to help.

Consider Seasonal Work
This is the ideal job opportunity for somebody who wants to travel and continue working indefinitely, or fancies working a season away and then returning home. This solely depends on the location that you’re visiting but could include jobs like working in a ski resort, picking fruit and veg at farms or working in summer camps.

When you’re applying for these jobs, you’ll need to apply before you leave which will mean submitting a resume. Don’t forget to check your resume’s grammar using tools like Grammarix.

Using Online Tools
One of the best, and easiest, ways to start money online is to build up an arsenal of tools that you can use when you need to make money. These tools can be used as your primary source of income, or as backups when your own projects aren’t working or go quiet, and you need some money.

While some jobs may be happy to have you walk in, others will need you to apply so make sure you’re doing your research. You’ll also need to look into work visas, depending on the country that you’re visiting.

Become an Au Pair
This is perhaps one of the most popular travelling jobs, but you are restricted somewhat depending on how old you are. This job is mainly for younger adults who can move into a house for a family and take care of the house, typically looking after children at the same time.

Conclusion
