‘Food Delivery’ is a love letter from fishermen, says Baby Ruth Villarama
"Food Delivery," a documentary by Baby Ruth Villarama, highlights the bravery of Filipino fishermen and frontline defenders in the West Philippine Sea.
The film captures the daily risks and sacrifices of fishermen, alongside the courage of frontline defenders who deliver food and aid to coastal communities, often without adequate government support.
It showcases the efforts of the Philippine Navy and Coast Guard in the disputed waters.
Despite being pulled out from the Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival, "Food Delivery" went on to win the Tides of Change award at the Doc Edge Festival in Auckland, New Zealand.
The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) officially approved the film for public exhibition with a Parental Guidance (PG) rating.
The documentary began limited screenings in July 2025 and was showing nationwide by August 13.
"Food Delivery" is a bold attempt to expose the truth about the harassment Filipino fishermen and defenders face from Chinese Coast Guards in the West Philippine Sea.
