Onat Diaz, director of premium Philippines’ series “Wildflower”, “Dirty Linen” and “The Alibi”, joins Content Asia On Air to talk about “The Silent Noise”, his new 10-episode show produced by ABS-CBN Studios for Prime Video about a deaf 10-year-old boy who may hold the key to a murder. “The Silent Noise” just won Best Asian Content at the Global OTT Awards in Busan – the Philippines' first-ever win in that category, beating out entries from Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, and China. Lead actress Angelica Panganiban has also just been nominated for Best Female Lead in a TV Programme/Series Made in Asia at the 2026 ContentAsia Awards; winners will be announced on 27 August. In this conversation, Onat breaks down what it took to build a mystery series around silence and about talks about swinging between the "loud" spectacle-driven “The Alibi” and the restraint of “The Silent Noise” (shot back-to-back), adapting a distinctly Filipino story for a global streaming audience, and what makes Philippine storytelling stand out as the region's creative spotlight shifts beyond Korea and Thailand.
