Throughout the centuries, Philippine poetry, in its modern form, has made its way online with the rise of digital technology. However, an online article suggests that most Filipino poems are left on library shelves unappreciated. This lack of demand causes limited amounts of publishing. Thus, bookstores and publishing companies would not invest in these writers' works. With this, the researchers investigated whether there is a lack of appreciation and promotion of Filipino poetry in today's generation and whether a hybrid short film is an effective multimedia outlet to promote the said field. All of the results yielded positive in that the participants showed interest in Filipino poetry after the film and had positive remarks about its technical aspects. Initially, the pre-test assessment showed that the respondents' interest in Filipino poetry gained a weighted mean of 3.67 out of 5 overall. In the post-assessment, however, gauging whether the short film helped pick their interest, there was a notable increase of 0.96 in the weighted mean, making it an average of 4.63. This project shows that the short film impacted the viewers regarding attaining the proponents' goals.

The Philippines has unique and rich culture; thus, it is also part of its identity. A preliminary test the researchers conducted revealed that the consumers do not consider street food as part of the culture. The Hybrid 2D Animation Documentary tackles the role of street food and street food vendors in the cultural aspect. The evaluation process used in the study is a comparative analysis of the set of pre-assessment and post-assessment evaluations from 30 respondents. The result showed that there had been an increase in value in recognition and acknowledgment of street food after consuming the material. The researchers recommended that street food vendors start acknowledging their cultural role, that multimedia art students create more content featuring the cultural role of street foods, that the teachers introduce the representation of street foods, and that future researchers explore the sanitation issues of street foods.

Sleep is critical, particularly for young adults aged 18 to 25. Young adults should get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. Most young adults struggle to get enough sleep due to a variety of factors such as anxiety, depression, and excessive use of technology. As a result of continuing the same sleepless night routine in their daily lives, young adults become sleep deprived. The most common side effects of sleep deprivation are health issues such as heart disease, obesity, kidney failure, high blood pressure, and many more. Since this issue is very timely and relevant nowadays, the researchers develop a major project, an 2D Animated Interactive Video, and a minor project, a Podcast that can help young adults to be relaxed in order to get a better sleep. The 2D animated interactive video will present two environments from which users can choose. It will be uploaded to a Wix site, and each option will be unlisted so that users can interact with the animated video. The podcast, on the other hand, will be storytelling that is related to the story of the major project. It will consist of four episodes excluding the pilot episode. This project will also be uploaded to YouTube for easy and free access.

Mental health is more than the presence or absence of a mental illness. COVID-19 has led to self and social isolation, disconnection from family and friends. More people than ever are experiencing feelings of helplessness, isolation, grief, anxiety, and depression. In such cases, the team took advantage of the opportunity to raise mental health awareness by developing a trilogy of interactive short films with a website that would support the project's purpose. The film has three characters with different stories, namely Marion; a college student who is struggling to adjust to his new average experience from his online class and Kayla; a nurse who is also a mother of three children, who must participate in treating the patients with COVID at the hospital, and Marie; an OFW who works from Saudi Arabia wants to go home to visit her family. The study also intends to explore the impact of coping strategies and perceived social support on one's ability to handle social isolation stress. Each of the characters' stories will represent the different outlook on possible mental health symptoms that everyone has experienced during the pandemic. The stories presented in the film will be based on real-life circumstances and experiences of people who have lived through the pandemic. The story aims to give hope to its viewers on what lies ahead of the pandemic. Upon testing the produced output, the study results show that most people only have a general idea when it comes to the topic of mental health issues. The study also yielded that the project has spread and increased awareness about the topic under study. Although the project could attain its specific goals and adjectives, the best and only conclusion is to seek professional help from credible and trusted experts in their respective health fields.

Apollo is an interactive animation that aims to provide both Junior High School teachers and students, additional materials for teaching and learning. It consists of three modules that present anatomical topics covered in the current K to 12 Curriculum Guide for Science (2016); Digestive, Respiratory, and Endocrine Systems of the Human Body. The modules contain interactive 3D animation videos that feature narrated lessons to guide student's learning and pop questions to further student's understanding. Several software programs used to produce Apollo includes Autodesk Maya, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere, and Adobe Photoshop. In addition, the website which Apollo can be accessed through was developed using HTML and Adobe Dreamweaver.
