MMFF inaabangan kung itutuloy pa

It’s nearly half of the year na, Salve, and in the 46 years of the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), organized yearly by the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), ay nagsisimula ng eksaktong December 25, at nagkukumahog na ang mga local producers sa pagpe-prepare ng kanilang entry.

By July, more or less, announcement ng six MMFF entries. At laging nilu-look forward lalo na ng mga mahihilig sa pelikulang Pilipino ay ang Parade of Stars, which is held mga two days before Christmas. At siyempre laging inaabangan ang  Awards Night.

Ang nananalo ng Best Picture ay hindi lang pinaparangalan ng trophy, but a cash prize as well.

Proclaimed Best Picture last year was the Brillante Mendoza entry, Mindanao, starring Judy Ann Santos at Allen Dizon.

Napanalunan naman ni Aga Muhlach sa kanyang Viva Films-produced movie na Miracle in Cell #7 ang award as top grosser.

Directed by Nuel Naval, Miracle in cell #7 introduced child star Xia Vigor. In co-starring roles naman sina Joel Torre, John Arcilla, Mon Confiado at Bela Padilla.

In any case, ang tanong, magkakaroon kaya this year ng Metro Manila Filmfest?

Momshies sa online muna humahada

Plain momshies daw ang titulo ng bagong show nina Karla Estrada, Melai Cantiveros at Jolina Magdangal online.

Sa totoo lang, follower kami ng programang Magandang Buhay ng tatlo, at nami-miss na namin ito.

Nagsimula noong 2016, naging saksi ang mga tagasubaysay ng Magandang Buhay sa pagsilang both ni Melai at Jolina sa kanilang pangalawang anak.

Sa Magandang Buhay din ipinakilala ni Karla ang bagong love of her life, si Jam Ignacio.

Of Jam, obvious na boto sa kanya ang mga anak ni Karla, all four of them, the eldest of course, is matinee idol Daniel Padilla.

Lovi at Zanjoe first time sa Malaya
