A Grade 10 Filipino-language contest in which a learner makes a one-minute video promoting a cause, marked out of 100 for content, quality and presentation, appeal to the audience and keeping to the time limit.
An advocacy video is a very short film that argues for a cause. The maker picks an issue, explains why it matters and tries to move viewers to think or act differently, all in the time it takes to watch one short clip. Unlike a speech, nothing is performed live: the entry is made beforehand, submitted and then judged on screen.
In the template this is a Grade 10 item. Each learner enters on their own, boys and girls together, and the working language is Filipino. The judging table refers to a one-minute video submitted on time. The template does not print the topic list, the file format, how the clip is submitted or whether the learner may use help with filming, so confirm those details in the organiser brief before the entry window opens.
The 100 marks split four ways. Content carries 40 for appropriate advocacy, a holistic video, clear concepts and suitable words. Quality and presentation carries 30 for creativity, the techniques used and depth of meaning. Appeal to the audience carries 20 for being persuasive and interesting. Compliance with the time limit carries 10 for a one-minute video submitted on time.
Organisers run it because it tests message, craft and discipline together. A learner has to decide what one idea matters most, show it rather than lecture about it, and cut everything else, which is a different skill from standing up and speaking.

What judges look at in BidyoKasiya (Advocacy Video)
What a BidyoKasiya (Advocacy Video) panel is actually weighing up, and where the marks are usually won or lost:
- Content, 40 marks: appropriate advocacy, a holistic video, clear concepts and suitable words; a clip with a vague message or several competing ideas loses marks here.
- Quality and presentation, 30 marks: creativity, the techniques used and depth of meaning; steady framing, readable text and sound that can be heard count for more than effects.
- Appeal to the audience, 20 marks: persuasive and interesting; a clip that makes a viewer feel something or want to act scores above one that only states facts.
- Compliance with the time limit, 10 marks: a one-minute video submitted on time; these are the easiest marks to keep and the easiest to throw away.
- Because content is worth twice the next criterion, settle the single message before filming anything.
- A clip that runs over the minute or arrives late loses marks even if the idea is strong, so plan the cut before the deadline.
Treat these as the judging focus, not a fixed rubric: publish your own weighted criteria for BidyoKasiya (Advocacy Video) under Scoring Setup, or start from the judge scoring and tabulation guide.
How to prepare for BidyoKasiya (Advocacy Video)
How entrants and their teachers usually get BidyoKasiya (Advocacy Video) right on the day:
- Write the message as one sentence and test it on a classmate: if they cannot repeat it after one viewing, simplify.
- Storyboard the minute on paper, with roughly three or four shots, and decide what the viewer sees and hears in each.
- Open with the issue in the first few seconds and close with a clear call to action.
- Keep wording short and in natural Filipino, and check that any on-screen text can be read on a phone screen.
- Film in good light and record sound near the speaker; clear audio lifts the quality marks more than effects do.
- Trim to under a minute with a few seconds spare, then check the final length on the exported file.
- Show the finished clip to a small audience and note where attention drops, then cut or reorder that part.
- Submit well before the deadline, since the time-limit block covers submitting on time.
- After a lost round, check which block let you down, the message, the craft or the timing, and rework that block only.
