First Day delivers a mega dose of kilig
Do you still remember your first day at your first job?
In the wake of its first two viral videos Adulting and Tipidity, MEGA Sardines treads lightly into the year with First Day, its third short film under its
#MegaGandaAngBuhay trilogy. First Day tells the story of Joseph, an idealistic, fresh-out-of-college young man from Cebu (played by Jindric Macapagal), who is caught in an awkward situation on his first day at work in a Makati office.
What could go wrong — or right — on Day One?
“First Day reveals the answer in an unexpected and heartwarming manner, delivering a mega dose of kilig on a hugely relatable slice of life,” says film director-public relations specialist Chris Cahilig.
As shown in its first two short films, #MegaGandaAngBuhay campaign, Cahilig says, reinforces timeless Filipino themes and values. While Tipidity brought humor and
Adulting delivered drama, First Day offers lighthearted moments and wraps up with a plot twist that the audience won’t see coming. However one looks at it, First Day fits right into the campaign by depicting how MEGA Sardines, as a staple viand, has figured in the unforgettable “firsts” of its patrons. First Day can be viewed on MEGA’s official Facebook page www.facebook. com/officialmegasardines and YouTube channel (Mega Global). Meanwhile, Tipidity and Adulting have garnered, to date, almost three million views on YouTube alone. Both short films can also be viewed on MEGA Sardines’ Facebook page.
