MANILA, Philippines – The Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) is in full swing and many film industry members are supporting the festival and inviting their fans to support it too.
Heneral Luna and Encantadia star John Arcilla posted on Instagram a review of Avid Liongoren’s Saving Sally, describing it as a masterpiece, and praising its stars, writers, and director. He asked audiences, particularly the youth, to support the film.
“NAKAKAHINAYANG kung hindi ninyo papanoorin ang Saving Sally. It is a ‘masterpiece’ in its own right. PANOORIN NYO mga kabataan. Pang pamilya, pang barkada, pang mag boyfriend/girlfriend. Millennials mag e-enjoy kayo, KIKILIGIN at MATUTUTO sa pelikula. Isang simple pero hindi simpleng boy meets girl na pelikula.
(It would be a waste if you don’t watch Saving Sally. It is a ‘master piece’ in its own right. Young people, you should watch it. The movie is for family, for friends, and even for couples. Millennials, you’ll definitely enjoy it. You’ll feel giddy and learn so much from the movie. It’s a simple but not so simple boy meets girl film.)
Robin Padilla said on Instagram: “Ako’y bumabati ng pagkilala at sa tagumpay ng mga nanalo sa ginanap ng Gabi ng Parangal at ako’y nagpupugay at gumagalang sa mga bumubuo ng Metro Manila Film Festival at sa lahat ng mga ahensya ng gobyerno na nagpalakas sa hakbang na ito tungo sa pagbangon ng ating sining. It was an excellent start comrades. Congratulations!”
(I congratulate the winners of the Gabi ng Parangal and I salute and give respect to those who are behind the Metro Manila Film Festival and to all the agencies of the government who made this step towards uplifting our culture and arts stronger.)
Bela Padilla tweeted on January 1 that she was able to watch the Best Picture awardee Sunday Beauty Queen, and congratulated director Baby Ruth Villarama.
“First movie I watched this year – Sunday Beauty Queen. Beautifu!!! Loved every second!” she said. “Ma’am Baby Ruth, your mom must be very proud.”
