Dear Ma’am/Sir,
Greetings!
Vibal Foundation, Inc., the philanthropic arm of the Vibal Group of Companies dedicated in preserving and promoting Philippine heritage and culture, is pleased to inform you that we are publishing the book Philippine Cinema 1897–2019, under the imprint Arte Filipino.

This book is set to publish this year, 2019, thus we are currently consolidating materials for inclusion.
In line with this, we would like to request permission to reproduce high resolution materials such as:
