00:00 The historical drama "Gumburza" won the most awards at the 49th Metro Manila Film Festival.
00:09 "Gumburza" won seven awards, including the second-best picture, best director award, best actor award, and four more.
00:19 The actor, Cedric Juan, who won the best actor award because he's just a newbie in the industry,
00:26 is also known as a veteran actor, like Christopher DeLeon, Piono Pascual, and Ding Dong Dantes.
00:33 Thank you so much, Jess Com, for...
00:36 ...for your support.
00:39 Thank you so much, Pepe Jok, because...
00:44 ...who am I? But you supported me.
00:47 Thank you so much, Direk Bombi, because after our final casting,
00:52 he looked at me and told me, "You have more to do. You have more to do."
00:58 And Pepe Jok allowed me to do it again.
01:01 Despite the countless awards he won,
01:05 Ms. Vilma Santos was still emotional when she was awarded the best actress award for the film "When I Met You in Tokyo."
01:12 She also won the fourth-best picture award, which was also won by Vilma Santos and Christopher DeLeon.
01:18 Thank you. Because I didn't expect this.
01:23 We were just doing advocacy.
01:28 When we did "When I Met You in Tokyo," it's not even the best actress or best actor.
01:35 We just wanted to do a simple love story.
01:40 We were young.
01:43 But our advocacy was to make Metro Manila Film Festival a success.
01:51 The film "Far Fly" directed by Alessandra De Rossi was nominated for the Best Picture.
01:57 The film also won the Best Screenplay and Best Child Actor award for Ewen Micael.
02:03 Meanwhile, Malyari won four awards,
02:07 including the third-best picture and Best Supporting Actor for JC Santos.
02:12 The special award, Gatpuno Antonio Villegas Award Cultural Award, was given to the film "Gumburza."
02:18 "When I Met You in Tokyo" won the Fernando Poe Jr. Memorial Award for Excellence,
02:24 while Mother Lily Monteverde won the Marichu Vera Perez Maceda Memorial Awards for Regal Films.
02:30 Metro Manila Development Authority, or MMDA, thanked all those who joined the MMFF
02:36 in their message last night, which was read by MMDA Deputy Chairperson Yusef Frisco San Juan Jr.
02:43 Atty. Romando Artes, MMDA's chairperson, said that the MMFF this year
02:49 proves that the Filipino film industry is still alive
02:53 despite the huge challenges it faced during the pandemic.
02:58 Let us not only celebrate the winners and the remarkable contributions to the Philippine cinema,
03:05 but also acknowledge the resilience and passion that drive our industry.
03:11 We have proved so quickly that we are very resilient, especially in the film industry.
03:18 And we have the heart to do it.
03:21 That is the Filipino.
03:23 Kate Rania, for the nation.
