A short film by a University of the Philippines Visayas student has drawn attention for using body horror to critique the redevelopment of a public market in Iloilo City, a major urban centre in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. "Kanibal" (Hiligaynon for "cannibal"), a 16-minute film written and directed by Michael Baylon, follows a meat vendor and loyal mayoral supporter whose fate becomes disturbingly intertwined with the livestock she sells, as the spectre of market demolition looms. The film has been selected for the Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival 2026, which runs from 23 September to 4 October at cinemas across Metro Manila, and carries a P200,000 (roughly US$3,500) production grant.
