The line up of film entries for the 43rd Metro Manila Film Festival has been announced and will hit the theaters on December 25, 2017. The genre of the entries varies from superhero flick to romance, horror, drama, and comedy as listed below:
The much anticipated Mike de Leon film "Citizen Jake" would have been among the entries and a shoo-in for Best Picture but veteran director Mike de Leon decided not to submit the film out of principles citing alleged corruption within the MMFF committee and the anomalous process of selection of entries favoring mainstream film producers. "Citizen Jake" features Atom Araullo in a fictional journalist role, who criticizes politicians through his writing.
