MANILA, Philippines, December 27 ------ President Marcos urged Filipinos to support the Philippines’ film industry by watching the 10 entries in the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), citing the “golden joys and lessons” from the films that moviegoers will take home with them. In a one-minute video message for the two-week MMFF, the President said watching the MMFF flicks can be a way for moviegoers to bond with their families and friends over the holidays. “This Christmas, our stories as a people will take centerstage. This is because of the special celebration of the 50th year of the Metro Manila Film Festival that has been part of our lives and culture as Filipinos,” he said.
Marcos also vouched for the quality of the 10 movies in the MMFF, adding that this year’s selection of films will entertain and educate moviegoers. The MMFF will run until Jan. 7, during which no foreign films and only MMFF movies are shown in theaters across the country, except for IMAX and 4D theaters.
