A rebirth of the Cebu filmmaking industry?

Prior to the 1960s and even up to the mid 1970s, lots of films were produced in Cebu some of which brought home prestigious awards from international film competitions like the Asian Film Festival. Cebu as the Visayan capital of filmmaking was home to Visayans actors and actresses which made their mark in the Philippine filmmaking industry.
Thanks to Bigfoot Entertainment, the filmmaking industry in Cebu is starting to be revived. Produced by New Cebu Films, a Bigfoot Entertainment company, Deep Gold is an action thriller about a $10-million worth of Philippine gold that vanishes together with the plane carrying it. Bigfoot Entertainment
This is the synopsis from the official website of Deep Gold:
Shortly after Cebuano freediver Amy Sanchez breaks an important freediving record, her boyfriend – Philippine Air Force Pilot Tony – mysteriously vanishes together with a flight that is supposed to bring millions of dollars worth of gold to the Central Bank in Manila.
Determined to discover the truth, she goes off with her sister to find out.
Is Tony actually dead? Or if not, is the man she loved really part of the plot to steal the gold? But she has no idea that she is about to discover the unexpected, and entangles herself in a web of lies and deceit before she finds out that somebody used her for what turns out to become a much larger conspiracy.

There would be more Cebuano films to come: the revival of the old Cebuano movies and the introduction of new trends and technology that would bring Cebuano Cinema into an advantage but it might take time, anyhow.
