Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) Chairperson and CEO Lala Sotto encouraged Filipinos to watch and support entries in the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2025, which begins December 25.
In a video message, Sotto called on the public to celebrate Filipino creativity by seeing the eight films featured in this year’s festival.
“Ngayong darating na Pasko, inaanyayahan ko ang lahat na panoorin ang lahat ng pelikulang kasali sa 2025 MMFF,” she said.
She also urged viewers, especially parents and guardians, to use MTRCB classification ratings as a guide in choosing films appropriate for family viewing.
“Gamitin po natin bilang gabay ang MTRCB ratings sa pagpili ng papanooring pelikula ngayong kapaskuhan. Sama-sama po tayong mag-enjoy sa walong pelikulang inihanda ng MMFF,” Sotto added.
Most of this year’s entries are family-friendly, with the majority rated G and PG, indicating suitability for children accompanied by parents or guardians. The 2025 MMFF films include I’m Perfect, rated G for general audiences; Bar Boys: After School, rated PG; Call Me Mother, PG; Love You So Bad, PG; Manila’s Finest, PG; Rekonek, PG; Unmarry, PG; and Shake, Rattle and Roll: Evil Origins, rated R-13 for viewers 13 and older.
The 51st MMFF showcases a variety of stories reflecting the creativity and talent of the Philippine film industry.
