MANILA – The European Union (EU) Delegation to the Philippines is bringing free European films to Iloilo under its Cine Europa film festival from Oct. 5 to 13.
The fest started on September 14 in Manila and runs until the end of October, going hybrid this year as it also sets foot in Cebu City and Palawan.
