MMFF 2017 official entries announced! #MMFF2017

The 43rd Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF 20167) official entries have been announced this afternoon by the festival's Executive Committee (MMFF Execom).

The first 4 official entries were actually the ones announced today, selected based on the script submitted by the producers, and 4 more entries will be announced on November 17.

The majority of Filipino moviegoers perhaps are very glad now that the usual MMFF (mix of indie and commercial films) is so back this December, after the festival had mostly indies last year. So, we'll be seeing again the MMFF favorites Vic Sotto and Vice Ganda as they make festival comeback with their respective movies.

Look what Vhong Navarro did to Anne Curtis on Showtime today!

#ShowtimeBiyerYes Vhong Navarro's "gentleman" self showed up today on It's Showtime, while he and other hosts were playing during the show's newest fun segment called 'Cash-ya'.


It was the 3rd challenge, where the 10 members from Anne Curtis' team (composed of Anne, Karylle, Girltrends and Showtime dancers) had to lay all their heads on a pillow. The challenge put the girls in a compromising situation, most especially Anne, who was wearing a very short dress.



Vhong, who was part of the opposing team, quickly took off his jacket, rushed to Anne and covered her back to prevent any exposure.

Wow! What a gentleman! Nice one, Vhong! You're so sweet!

I just feel bad though for the other girls, especially those two with green shorts.

Anne perhaps was unaware of Vhong's sweet gesture, ar the latter was shown picking up the jacket on the floor after the girls finished and won the challenge.

TV5 Airs The Most Exciting Action-Adventure TV Series From Hollywood Like 'The Flash', 'Arrow', 'Agents Of Shield', 'Quantico'

AS OF NOW, TV5 has very few local shows. Their most prominent local programs currently are "Lakbai", a travel show hosted by Baste Duterte; "Brillante Mendoza Presents", a monthly movie with a different theme each month from the Cannes award-winning filmmaker; and "Wattpad Presents", a weekly romance based on Wattpad collection of stories. After they stopped making local soaps, TV5 focused their programming on Hollywood TV shows and they now have the most impressive line up of canned shows. Here are some of them, all action-packed thrillers:

"The Flash" - An action-fantasy about a superhero crimefighter who can move at superhuman speed. The lead character is Barry Allen (played by Grant Gustin), who saw his mother being murdered as a boy. During a thunderstorm, he is struck by lightning and goes into a coma. He wakes up later to discover he has gained superhuman speed and he uses his gifts to fight evildoers.

"Arrow" - Spoiled billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (played by Stephen Amell) goes missing at sea but returns home after many years of being stranded in a remote island where he underwent training to be a vigilante crimefighter using a bow and arrow.


"MARVEL'S Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" - SHIELD stands for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and LOgistic Division, a fictional peacekeeping and spy agency in the world of superheroes set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or MCU. Its agents must deal with unusual cases and enemies, including Hydra and the Inhumans. It's led by Clark Gregg as Director Phil Coulson. It also stars Ming Na Wen as Melinda May, ace pilot and weapons expert; Brett Dalton as Hive, a Hydra agent who infiltrates SHIELD; Chloe Bennet as Skye/Quake, an inhuman who is recruited as she can sense earthquakes; Iain de Caestecker as Leo Fitz, a specialist in weapons engineering; Elizabeth Henstridge as Jemma Simmons, a biochemist who specializes in human alien life forms; Nick Blood as Lance Hunter, a mercenary who joins SHIELD; Adrianne Palicki as Bobbi Morse, an agent of SHIELD who went undercover with Hydra and is Hunter's ex-wife; and Luke Mitchell as Lincoln Campbell, an inhuman with the power to manipulate electrical charges.

"Quantico" - A drama thriller starring Indian actress Priyanka Chopra (the first South Asian to topbill an American TV series) as Alex Parrish, a new FBI recruit who becomes the prime suspect in a terrorist attack on Grand Central Terminal. It shows her training with other recruits at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia and later, the investigation about the attack where she has to clear her name.
