A TEACHER Party-list nominee Julieta Cortuna expressed how the recently released A TEACHER Trilogy is more than just a film project — it is a strategic narrative movement that mirrors the lived realities of teachers, students, and school communities across the country.
“The trilogy touches lives because it tells the truth — of sacrifice, hope, and the power of education to change a nation,” Cortuna said.
The message aligns with A TEACHER Party-list’s core value proposition: education is the engine of national progress, and teachers are its most powerful drivers. The trilogy reinforces this by giving voice to those often unheard — frontline educators.
Led by Julieta Cortuna, Edgardo Avengonzar Jr., and Virginia Rodriguez, A TEACHER Party-list continues to champion legislation for teacher welfare, academic reforms, and access to quality education in underserved communities.
Through the trilogy and beyond, A TEACHER proves that storytelling is policy in motion — because when Filipinos feel seen, they act. And that’s how real change begins.
