social welfare
MOWELFUND’s Social Welfare Program aims to help the indigent and underemployed movie workers who work on a per-picture basis such as stuntmen, bit players,
technicians, checkers, make-up artists,
cameramen, props men, and other film crew members who do not have private insurance coverages and SSS benefits.

who we are
MOWELFUND stands for MOVIE WORKERS WELFARE FOUNDATION, INC., a non-stock, non-profit social welfare, educational, and industry development foundation organized and established in 1974.
It was founded by then San Juan Mayor and President of the Philippine Motion Picture Producers Association (PMPPA) Joseph E. Estrada for the welfare of workers in the
Philippine motion picture industry.
It has expanded the Manila Film Festival to become the now-popular Metro Manila Film Festival Philippines (MMFFP). It also helped rationalize the movie industry with its contributions in creating agencies like the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) and
reorganizing the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB). Mowelfund has also initiated the campaign against film and video piracy.
