Dec 12, 2019   •   Meryl Medel

Christmas is just around the corner, which means the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) is also upon us! One of the few instances where cinemas are on Pinoy-movies lockdown, the MMFF is the perfect opportunity to enjoy and show our appreciation for our homegrown films.
