The Shore Awaits
Pagbalik sa Lawod (The Shore Awaits) tells the story of Tonya, a fisherfolk daughter lured by promises of work abroad but trapped in a trafficking ring. Scarred yet unbroken, she returns home, transforming pain into testimony. Her story warns against exploitation, empowers women, and honors the resilience of coastal communities.
