MANILA, Philippines - After the successful kick-off in Cebu and following the well-attended screening in Iloilo last month, GMA 7’s I-Witness gears up for the third leg of its docufest regional tour today in Davao City.

The first set of documentaries include David’s Gintong Putik, Aguinaldo’s Batch 2012, Severino’s Saplot and Taruc’s Lapnos. The screening will be followed by an open forum. Admisson is free.

Severino, who is also GMA News Online’s editor-in-chief and VP for Multimedia Journalism, looks forward to the docufest’s Davao leg. “I’m excited about going to Davao, one of my favorite cities in the Philippines, because I have been going there for coverage since the ’80s and seen how it has changed, mostly for the better,” says Severino.
