Movie Review: Manila's Finest

Manila’s Finest is a gripping MMFF 2025 crime thriller that transports audiences back to the turbulent 1970s during the First Quarter Storm. Set against a politically charged pre–Martial Law era, the film follows principled Manila Police Captain Homer Magtibay (Piolo Pascual) and his young partner Billy Ojeda (Enrique Gil) as they investigate the murders of troubled teenagers in the slums—an investigation that gradually exposes deeper corruption involving powerful figures, systemic decay, and the widening divide between the rich and the poor.

Movie Review: I'm Ellenya L.

The film follows the simple but ambitious 21-year old Ellenya Lakampanti (played by Maris) on her quest to become the next big vlogger.  On most days, Ellenya spends her time patterning her online presence on her celebrity idol (with the special participation of Sue Ramirez playing herself). Luckily, her musician father Daddy Toots (Gio Alvarez) is there to support her. Even if it means climbing on a roof to get her that perfect "drone shoot".

Her bestfriend, talented photographer and literal boy-next-door, Peng (Inigo Pascual) is also always there. Even though, frankly, he has become quite wary of Ellenya's obsession with the image she projects online. 

When a chance encounter leads Ellenya to meet Sue Ramirez' starmaker and fellow influencer Kyle Quintos (Patrick Sugui), she takes the opportunity to get his help. Quintos can transform her into the big time vlogger she dreams of becoming. He agrees to help her on one condition: she has to prove her potential by becoming viral online within a week.
In an age where everyone is an influencer, and where everyone is a blogger, what does it take to be "instafamous" Are "likes" and "follows" all that really matters nowadays?
