In the days leading up the start of the 2017 Cannes, Bayani was seen wearing a gas attendant's uniform -- the same one she wore in "Jodilerks"-- and took pictures with random people as she toured the city.

"Jodilerks" tells the story of a gasoline station attendant working in a run-down station that's about to be closed. It aims to poke fun at the country's unemployment problem. It was picked from 1,700 entries submitted from around the world.
