MOWELFUND

Movie Workers Welfare Foundation, Inc or MOWELFUND is a foundation that was established in 1974.  It aims to develop and preserve the Philippine cinema and help movie workers behind it. Its primary goal is to protect the Philippine cinema and to promote the core values of the organization.

Having visited the MOWELFUND made me realize how important to value the history of our films throughout the years. As a mass communication student, it is also important to know how the Philippine history of cinema evolved throughout the years. I have seen how the organization preserve the important things that was used in different Philippine classic films like the dress used by Nora Aunor in the award winning film “ himala”, up to the costume used in different films and even the trophies of Eddie Garcia, Nora Aunor, Boots Anson Roa and others. Visiting also the museum of the late Fernando Poe Jr makes me remember my grandmother and some of my childhood memories since I grow up watching his movies in the province. I like how they protect and preserve the important things since it was very useful not only to us but also to those future people who wants to visit the institution.
