He was born in 1978, in Makati City, Philippines and studied Mass Communications at the University of the City of Manila. He started as a scriptwriter for feature films and TV. His first film, Donsol, won Best Actress and Best Cinematography at the 2006 Cinemalaya Independent FF.

Adela / Adolfo Alix Jr.

Adela, a former radio star back in the 50s, is celebrating her eightieth birthday. She tries to treat it like a normal day – doing her daily chores and duties in the dumpsite where she lives, but she can’t hide her loneliness and how she ultimately longs for her family.
