by Rianne Hill Soriano - March 28, 2010July 17, 2019

A “pasalubong” doesn’t need to be grand or expensive, as even a simple keychain or any small souvenir can readily make Filipinos feel happy and remembered.

Welcome to FILMARTworks! Check out my film projects and film reviews of world cinema classics, critically-acclaimed independent works, Hollywood flicks, and Filipino offerings showcased side by side my art, finance/innovation/lifestyle, and travel features, as well as my musings/analyses/ravings about anything under the sun.
Considering the forces beyond our control in these trying times caused by the pandemic in our midst, I am also writing more about the various initiatives for healthy and sustainable living in my own family, as well as the measures undertaken by my friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. This is my way of contributing to the society as we struggle to survive and thrive in this era of “the new normal.”

I have solely maintained this site since the mid-2000s. As an artist and a non-IT person, I have encountered various hosting and maintenance challenges through the years. It is only in 2018, more than 10 years after, that I found the most reliable and practical web hosting that offered me a convenient, user-friendly platform to create a professional site to suit my needs. I fully built everything in my site on my own with no one else's help. Even as important, they provide 100% green servers.

If ever you plan to try out any of their services, I would appreciate it if you can kindly use my affiliate link: http://www.mochahost.com/7836.html -- I am recommending them for their great service but it would be nice to also give my site support by using the said link.

I am very grateful to Mochahost. I now have peace of mind. I am highly recommending it for both personal and business websites. I actually have the business plan. Yes, I can afford it with guaranteed no rate increase in the future -- making it even more practically awesome in the long run.
