Piding

The documentary follows Oliver Carlos, who grew up in a time when science education was not available in the Philippines. After gaining access to scientific knowledge as an adult, he excelled in his studies, eventually earning a scholarship from an American university to continue his education.

Upon returning to the Philippines, Oliver faced the harsh realities of environmental degradation in his homeland. He witnessed the destruction of forests and oceans, motivating him to leverage his scientific expertise to help his community. The film recounts how he introduced a new bird, the piding, as a means to aid in environmental restoration and education.

Piding presents a compelling narrative about the intersection of science, personal loss, and the determination to effect change. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of education and environmental stewardship in the face of adversity.
