Top Grosser wins zero award.
Best actress on screen is overacting off-screen.
LGBT entry wins Gender-sensitivity award. Pampalubag loob.
The light dimmed on the megastar. Husband and daughter in tow.
4 awards for Best Picture. That’s 40% of the 10 official entries. Pampalubag loob.
Collective sigh among film buffs: “GomBurZana!”
See you next year, same time, same station!
When I REWIND that time WHEN I MET YOU IN TOKYO, I realize we were a FAMILY OF TWO — MALLARI and PENDUKO —embarking on a BROKEN HEART’S TRIP that not even couples like BECKY & BADETTE or threesomes like GOMBURZA would enjoy and cherish. How I wish I were just a FIREFLY spying on a KAMPON of some matchmaker trying to create a fantasy movie.
MANLA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In an unprecedented twist, the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) has shattered longstanding traditions and left the film industry in disbelief by awarding the Best Actress title to the legendary Ms. Nora Aunor for her film “Pieta,” a movie that, ironically, wasn’t even selected as one of the official entries for the 2023 festival.
The MMFF jurors, breaking with protocol and convention, declared that none of the lead actresses from the 10 chosen films merited recognition, prompting them to reach beyond the official selection.
In a statement, the jurors boldly proclaimed, “Festival or not, National Artist Ms. Nora Aunor deserves all the accolades. We simply couldn’t find anyone else among the current crop of actresses worthy of this prestigious award.”
This move has left the film community scratching their heads and questioning the integrity of the selection process, wondering if the MMFF has truly entered a new era or if this is just another unexpected plot twist in the ever-dramatic world of Philippine cinema.
