Advertisements
The official 8 entries in the 34th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) have been announced by Selection Committee chair Julie Borje last June 30, 2008.Regal Films is again a notch ahead by having two entries selected.
On the side of the directors and actors, Direk Joey Reyes and actress Eugene Domingo are leading them all with each having two movies in the festival.
Just like in the past four years, some of the 8 official entries are sequels. There are three (3) sequels this year, but the only difference is that there is no 'Enteng Kabisote'.
However, that doesn't mean Vic Sotto, who played Enteng Kabisote, is not part of the festival. He has this time a new entry entitled Escaleras and Ungasis (20 Years After), which is a movie version of Iskul Bukol, a 1977 hit sitcom starring Tito, Vic and Joey.
