2008 MMFF Winners: BALER got 10, DAYO got 4, ONE NIGHT ONLY got 2.

2008 MMFF Awards Night Results!


BEST PICTURE: Baler *

2nd BEST PICTURE: Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat *

3rd BEST PICTURE: Iskul Bukol *

* We must however note that MMFF decides on the best picture by adding up the jury's score and the box-office results...thus the ranking above. Some find this unfair and absurb. But MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando vowed not to change it as MMFF is a festival by the people and for the people, ie they decide which one is the winner.


Putting box office results on the side, i think the ranking should have been:

  1. Baler
  2. Dayo
  3. One Night Only

I do agree with you. Manilyn surpised me in "One Night Only". Very different from the Manilyn I know before...which proves that she is really a versatile actress. She deserves the award.
