Frozen
2 follows the quest of sisters Elsa and Anna together with friends as they set
out to an enchanted forest to save their kingdom in peril, and seek the truth
and origin of Elsa's magic powers. The detail-oriented animation that ran for
an hour and 43 minutes was crafted in a comedic yet inspirational film about
love, growth, and maturity. The alumni with their families and friends went out
of the theater with smiles on their faces and a raffle prize booth waiting for
them at the front-of-house. Raffle prizes like headphones, Shinagawa Viora Gift
Certificates and UST merchandise like duffel bags, shirts and umbrellas were
given away to 36 lucky moviegoers.The
proceeds of the screening were donated to the UST Aeta Scholars in Tarlac.
The scholars of Sitio Buoc of Bamban, Tarlac
Judith
and Jezebel are 4th year Forestry students at the Pampanga State Agricultural
University in Magalang, Pampanga.
Judith
is the fifth daughter of Sitio Buoc's female chieftain. At a young age, she
witnessed how her mother juggled responsibilities as the chieftain of
their sitio and the breadwinner of their big family. With no
father in their household, she did everything to help. As the young Judith held
tightly to her mother's hand when they go around their sitio, she
was exposed to the problems faced by their community. Being a minority who
lived in the mountains with their voices too far to be heard by the government,
their community was deprived of good quality education, access to healthcare,
and protection from land-grabbers and illegal loggers. Until now, she goes
around town to help her mother leading the community. She was tasked to process
all papers that go to their community since the majority of them, including her
mother, can't even read and write. They fear that a neighbor or two will put in
their signature without knowing what they are signing in for.
Judith
is currently doing her best to study in school and to graduate from college.
She dreams of becoming a licensed forester to protect her homeland and make
their agricultural land productive. Then, sooner or later, continue her
mother's work for the community. She believes that with more crops and produce,
people in their sitio won't be forced to sell their lands at a
very low price and leave their hometown.
Just
like Judith, Jezebel also dreams of becoming a licensed forester to preserve
their land and to help her family. With her father serving time in jail for a
crime he didn't commit, she was left to look after her 6 siblings for half of
her life. In her junior year, Jezebel had depression that made her school
performance suffer greatly. But with the help of her church and the support of
her friends, she was able to get through that dark episode of her life.
Jezebel
is currently writing her thesis to complete her bachelor's degree.
