Direk Romm's City of Ilagan Tourism AVP finalist in the International Tourism Film Festival "Tourfilm Riga" in Latvia



The recognition being reaped by multi-awarded filmmaker, Romm Burlat, seem infinite. Just recently, his Tourism AVP for the City of Ilagan in Isabela has been selected as finalist in the International Tourism Film Festival in Riga, Latvia. With more than 500 entries all over the world, his Tourism commercial is one of the Top 30 and now running for awards. This is the second time where the commercial/AVP he directed made it to an international film festival. Nevertheless,  this is his 12th including his film recognition in international filmfest.

It can be recalled that his commercial for Uni Ball Phils in cooperation with Manila Ocean Park was selected last year in the International Underwater Film Festival in Belgrade, Serbia.

Hardwork, dedication and love for his craft made Burlat a success story. As a matter of fact, he is one of the few Filipinos to be honored as Philippine Faces of Success next month. This recognition he will be sharing with other awardees like Mayor Vico Sotto, Mayor Isko Moreno, Direk Elwood Perez, actors Gladys Reyes, Jak Roberto and other celebrities, politicians and businessmen.

It can be recalled that in 2018, he was one of the Outstanding Men and Women of the Philippines. Just last week, he was elevated by the Film Development Council of the Philippines as Film Ambassador by virtue of his win as Best Director in the 16th We Care International Film Festival in New Delhi, India.


The City of Ilagan Tourism AVP is starred by Bidaman Ron Macapagal, former PBB Housemate Charls Brent, beauty queen Nicole Dichoso and actress Keanna Reeves. This is produced by the City government of Ilagan headed by the amiable Mayor Jay Diaz.
