Together with Gallaga are other renowned directors like Lore Reyes, Gabby Fernandez, Mark Espinosa, Jo Macasa, Rhea Sol Hiballes and Jed Sicangco of various television programs and films.
UB was chosen by the group as the host school for the first regional workshop on acting and directing because of its program in mass communication.
