September 27 ------ Top artists Lea Salonga, Gary Valenciano, and Martin Nievera will headline the Sine Sandaan: The Next 100 closing ceremony happening on September 30.

"'Sine Sandaan: The Next 100' encapsulates our aspirations for the future of Philippine Cinema. It is both in the spirit of empowering our local industry and taking those significant steps towards that future that we hope for – a future of elevation, inspiration, and collaboration," said Liza Diño Seguerra, FDCP chairperson.
She added: "This celebratory event also serves as a venue for cooperation in the film industry. Just as we officially close the Philippine Cinema Centennial Celebration, we look forward to the next hundred years wherein the industry will aim to reach greater heights, cross borders, and explore uncharted territories." The Sine Sandaan kicked off last September 12, 2019, and ended on September 11, 2020.
