Gelo Gibaga (b. 2004) is a writer, poet, and student-filmmaker born and raised in Pasig City, Philippines. Born to diasporic parents, he is drawn to stories that exist in liminal spaces—fragile and continually negotiated against the realities and politics of the external world. While studying in South Korea, he filmed his experimental short "Bente-Siyete," which went on to become a Sinepiyu XVIII finalist. This experience deepened his focus on learning more about the stories of those closest to him, drawn to the poetry of love, its contradictions, its tenderness, and the political world that complicates it.
