The message for this year is “The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and MMFF Concurrent Acting Chairman Engr. Carlo Dimayuga III released a joint statement titled “Balik Saya sa MMFF 2022” pleading with moviegoers to return to the festival, which has become an annual part of the Filipino Christmas celebration.
Let’s go to the MMFF in theaters again. The lineup of films is impressive in its diversity of genres, and we’re pleased with the overall quality “Dimayuga said.
After this, the production can begin its advertising campaign, which will culminate in Quezon City’s Parade of Stars.
The 48th edition of the MMFF will return to cinemas around the country from December 25, 2022, to January 7, 2023, provided that the necessary safety precautions are taken.
On the 27th of December, the Gabi Ng Parangal will be held.
