Written and directed by Sigrid Andrea P. Bernardo, Laya has completed production and is now in the final stages of post-production. The film is being lined up for a festival-first rollout, with a Philippine theatrical release planned in the fourth quarter of 2026
Shot entirely in Oslob, the film draws from the town’s natural landscape. Production was mounted with support from the local government unit of Oslob.

The project received backing from the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) through its CreatePH Production Grant.
Rein Entertainment, described as a multi-awarded boutique Filipino studio focused on producing globally competitive local stories, said Laya marks the start of a broader collaboration with Andrea, who will also headline an upcoming series with the company.
“We’ve seen Andrea grow into one of the most compelling young actors of her generation,” said Lino S. Cayetano, chief executive and producer at Rein Entertainment. “Laya is just the beginning of a deeper collaboration.”
