Winners Of 2011 MMFF Awards Night

The just concluded Awards Night of the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival as usual has controversies. Regal Films' "Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow" has been disqualified in major categories including Best Picture and Best Screenplay, Best Director and the Gatpuno Villegas Cultural Awards because, as MMFF executive chairman Francis Tolentino said, Regal Entertainment changes the pre-approved cast and storyline which is against the Festival's policy. But Mother Lily Monteverde said that they advised the committee about the changes. On the lighter side, the movie won the Best Actress trophy for Maricel Soriano. Whew!

Metro Manila Film Festival Parade of Stars

RPG Metanoia




The 2010 MMFF Parade of Stars was held today with a route from SM Mall of Asia to the Quirino Grandstand. The best float for me is Rosario's. The problem was, I think they got a wrong turn and ended up on the other side of the street. That's an advantage because I got a clear photo of them while they had the stop over! The float was filled of Amazing gay beauties and shirtless hunks. My second best favorite was the float of "Ang Tanging Ina Mo Last Na'To" because everyone on the float keeps on joking around.I kept on looking for Eugene Domingo then realized that she's on the "RPG Metanoia" float. Dolphy's "Father Jejemon" float is like the float of Pope John Paul when he visited the Philippines way back. A dude was sitting inside with the Dolphy mask. Andi is a little "suplada" unlike her co-stars, Carla Abellana and Rayver Cruz were "Super Kaway" to the people. Which movie will you watch? My money is on the three Star Cinema movies, Rosario and Shake Rattle & Roll XII! Enjoy the photos!!
