Bella Venticinque

Celebrating twenty-five years and the Filipinos love for movies, Bench recently launched Benchingko/Films with a red carpet premiere of its first series of short films - Lovi Poe in Kama, Coco Martin in Horsepower, Bella Flores in Kontrabida 101, Piolo Pascual in Perya and Lucy Torres in Star Teacher. Each short film was relevant and heart-tugging, art imitating life and what is beautiful in our souls.
