MRS, a film by Adolfo Alix, Jr., won four major awards during the recent Sinag Maynila 2016 Film Festival’s Gabi ng Parangal held recently at the Samsung Hall at SM Aura Premier.

A portrait of a woman and a mother trying to juggle the sad realities of life, MRS won the festival’s Best Picture and Best Director awards for Alix; as well as Best Actress for Elizabeth Oropesa and Best Cinematography for Albert Banzon.

Expressway, an action film by Ato Bautista, won three awards including Best Actor for Alvin Anson, Best Editing for Benjamin Tolentino, and Best Musical Score for Francis de Veyra. Joselito Alatrejos’s T.P.O. received the Best Sound and Best Screenplay Awards for Drew Millanos and Archie del Mundo and Altajeros, respectively.

Lila, a psychological thriller by Gino Santos, won the Best Production Design Award for Marielle Hizon. An audience favorite, it garnered the Blink Box Office award, as well as the SM People’s Choice Award, which is based on the results of a poll held among moviegoers during the festival.
