Manila, Philippines, October 26, 2023 – “There is always light,” says 21-year old Irish Miras, as she remembers the trauma she experienced as a child. Her voice is soft, her words strong. “If I could talk to my younger self, I would tell her: ‘We are alive. We are doing okay.’”
Irish is one of four young women featured in the documentary Sine Niña, a film that showcases the unique stories of women across the Philippines. Each story is set to inspire, uplift, and empower audiences—as well as start important conversations around equality, purpose, and mental health.
The film is the culmination of a partnership between SPARK! (Samahan ng mga Pilipina Para sa Reporma at Kaunlaran), an NGO committed to the development of women and women’s organizations; and Sony Music Group’s Global Social Justice Fund, which provides grants to projects that support social justice and anti-racist initiatives around the world. The partnership harnesses the power of storytelling, using music and film to highlight women’s rights and advocacies.
Directed by Carmen del Prado, Sine Niña, was scored by Pat Lasaten and Agnes Reoma of Ben&Ben, and features songs by Ben&Ben, Barbie Almalbis, Hazel Faith, and Any Name’s Okay.
The film made its debut last October 18 at Gateway Cinema 6 in Quezon City, with hundreds of students in attendance. The screening featured a panel discussion, as well as performances by Sony Music Entertainment (SME) artists Kai Buizon and Hazel Faith.
The screening was scheduled to coincide with “International Day of the Girl,” a day of observance which seeks to unite and empower adolescent girls, while providing them with more opportunities—an objective that director Carmen del Prado kept close to heart while making the film. “To quote [one of the girls in the film,] ‘It’s a story about a hundred other girls out there choosing passion over practicality,’” del Prado says. “So here’s to women supporting women!”
Roslyn Pineda, General Manager, Sony Music Philippines, could not agree more: “Sony Music Entertainment is dedicated to empowering and elevating all members of societies where we have a presence. We are committed to bridging gaps in society and look forward to the long-term impact of Sine Niña in helping unlock the potential of young women in the Philippines,” she says. “Together, let us build a future where every young woman can claim her rightful place and contribute to the progress of our society.”
Other partners of Sine Niña are: The US Embassy in the Philippines, The J. Amado Araneta Foundation, Girls Got Game, the Quezon City Government, and the Taguig City Government.
Sine Niña will be available to stream on the SPARK! YouTube channel by the end of the month. It will also be screened in schools nationwide.

Get ready for the much-anticipated launch of OPPO Find N3 Flip, coming soon here in the Philippines
Leading global smart device brand OPPO debuted the OPPO Find N2 Flip to much fanfare to the global market late last year, and its successor is coming to elevate the standard in flip phone technology.
OPPO is soon unveiling the OPPO Find N3 Flip in the Philippines as the newest foldable smartphone, which features major upgrades such as more versatile cover screen functionality, a more premium build, industry-first triple camera system with astounding Hasselblad imaging technology, industry-leading fast charging and battery and smooth powerful performance.
Seamless Integration of Style and Utility
The highlight of the newest OPPO foldable phone is the cover screen display, which introduces a host of more functional enhancements. The OPPO Find N3 Flip's cover screen will allow users to access and use multiple apps, without having to unfold their smartphone.
The improved cover screen can accommodate more popular apps, including third-party apps like Gmail, Spotify, X (formerly Twitter), WhatsApp, and Google Maps. So, whether you need to scroll through your social media timelines, check a map, switch tracks, or write a quick email, it's all just a tap away on the cover screen.
This dynamic screen also presents users with quick toggles and simultaneously accommodates up to six notifications. The OPPO Find N3 Flip takes personalization to the next level with over 20 screen styles you can customize, direct cover widgets to add for applications such as Messages, Camera, Battery, Recorder, Timer, and To-dos.
It also enhances the user experience by introducing a fresh animated weather wallpaper and a corresponding Always-On Display (AOD) that provides real-time information. It improves accessibility by enabling users to pin three widgets or apps directly onto the cover screen wallpaper, offering swift and convenient access with just a tap.
The OPPO Find N3 Flip exudes premium sophistication with its glass and metal construction, creating a sleek and comfortable design. Its curved form offers a visual appeal and a borderless in-hand experience, making it a pleasure to grip and hold. Two captivating colors will be made available in the Philippines: Cream Gold and Sleek Black.
Industry-First Triple Camera System for Flip Phones
The OPPO Find N3 Flip is the first flip smartphone in the market to have a triple camera system, integrating a more powerful wide angle camera and telephoto camera. Its Hasselblad-powered camera setup includes a 50MP main camera with IMX890 Sony sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide camera with 115-degree field of view; and a 32MP telephoto portrait camera with RGBW IMX709 sensor.
The OPPO Find N3 Flip's ultrawide camera is like an artist with an even bigger canvas, boasting a higher resolution compared to the OPPO Find N2 Flip. It's also bringing along an industry first telephoto lens incorporated in a foldable phone for those picture-perfect moments.
Taking selfies with the OPPO Find N3 Flip is now made more convenient and versatile. Thanks to the cover screen doubling as a rear camera viewfinder, there’s no need to unlock the device for that perfect shot. When you unfold the OPPO Find N3 Flip and switch to the main display, it's like hitting the camera magic button. Making a comeback is FlexForm Mode, which enables your camera to spring to life, with the preview taking over the top half of the screen, and your camera controls setup accessible in the lower half. It's the ultimate setup for capturing steady and stylish results at any angle.
Flagship Performance on a Flip
Expect nothing less than fast, smooth, and consistent performance from OPPO’s latest flagship foldable phone. The OPPO Find N3 Flip is equipped with the cutting-edge MediaTek Dimensity 9200 chipset, which delivers outstanding speed and efficiency, enabling seamless multitasking for a more productive flip phone experience.
The OPPO Find N3 Flip takes care of your daily needs with a long-lasting 4,300 mAh battery, freeing you from the inconvenience of constantly seeking a charger. The device also features the industry-leading 44W SUPERVOOC™ fast charging.
To know more about updates on the release of the OPPO Find N3 Flip, visit OPPO Philippines’ official website at www.oppo.com.ph/ or its official Facebook page at OPPO Philippines.
