<br />
An old handwritten love letter of the late actor Rico Yan was posted by Claudine Barretto recently which instantly goes viral.<br />

Though there's no date indicated on the letter, it can be assumed that it was the day before the late actor went to Cagayan de Oro and was left for Claudine to be read.<br />

<br />
The letter states, "<i>To my hunny, By the time you read this, I must be in CDO already. Just want to thank you for last night. You were wonderful! And because of that, I’m sure I’m gonna have a hard time sleeping without you by my side tonight. But nevertheless, I still love you very much! MWAH!!-Rico</i>."<br />

John Lloyd Cruz 'Honor Thy Father' Disqualified by MMFF Committee, Producer Says "No Rule Was Violated"

5:13:00 AM SE Insider 0

<br />
The Graded A film by Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB), "Honor Thy Father" has been disqualified by the MMFF Committee to win the Best Picture award, a day after the official opening of the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rq3iOWo56tE/Vn7-wwa5yNI/AAAAAAAAGlY/VdPDHJJXSdk/s1600/Honor%2BThy%2BFather.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Honor Thy Father movie poster" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rq3iOWo56tE/Vn7-wwa5yNI/AAAAAAAAGlY/VdPDHJJXSdk/s1600/Honor%2BThy%2BFather.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Directed by Erik-Matti, the film which top-bill by John Lloyd Cruz and Meryll Soriano will no longer be qualified to enter the festival's Best Picture category because of the producer's failure to "disclose its participation to the CinemaOne Originals Festival 2015 as the opening film."<br />
<br />
This was written in an official letter sent by MMFF Committee to the producer of Honor Thy Father, Mr. Ronald Stephen Monteverde<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u20jJcrdmYg/Vn7_yWV_JxI/AAAAAAAAGls/xOMW5rzSZfo/s1600/2015-12-27%2Bat%2B04-59-50.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u20jJcrdmYg/Vn7_yWV_JxI/AAAAAAAAGls/xOMW5rzSZfo/s1600/2015-12-27%2Bat%2B04-59-50.png" /></a></div>
<br />
Mr. Monteverde releases an official statement regarding the disqualification of the film Honor Thy Father thur the film's Facebook page.<br />
<br />
Monteverde reiterated that they complied with all the MMFF's requirements and did not commit an non-disclosure of any kind and that no MMFF rule was ever violated.<br />
<br />
Below is the official statement:<br />
<br />
<i>When Reality Entertainment partnered with John Lloyd Cruz in producing “Honor Thy Father” we agreed to make a movie that would capture a small portion of the struggle of the Filipino as he tried to transcend the back-breaking realities and limitations of his life. We wanted to tell the story of Edgar, a Filipino who finally fights back. After putting up with so much oppression, he confronts the people that have made his life hell, people motivated by greed for money and lust for power.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Little did I know then that this same narrative would find its way to the movie’s own history.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Today I received a letter from the Metro Manila Film Festival informing me that their Executive Committee had disqualified our movie from the Best Picture Category of the 2015 MMFF Awards. The reason for this, the letter said, was our “non-disclosure” of our participation in the CinemaOne Originals Film Festival as the Opening Film.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Let me refute this allegation of non-disclosure. If you will recall, Honor Thy Father was a late addition to the MMFF 2015 lineup. It had been rejected by their selection committee when the lineup was announced in June. On October 23 our film was officially offered a slot after an entry pulled out. By then we had already accepted CinemaOne’s invitation to screen as Opening Film. We informed the MMFF Secretariat, both by email and by phone, about this. We complied with their request for a letter from CinemaOne head Ronald Arguelles attesting that the screening was non-revenue generating and by invitation only. We have all of this on record.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Secondly, each MMFF entry is allowed a maximum of two premieres. Our CinemaOne screening would be our premiere.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Let me repeat: we complied with all the MMFF’s requirements; we did not commit any non-disclosure of any kind; no MMFF rule was ever violated by Honor Thy Father.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I am questioning the reasons, the timing, and the means employed in enforcing this decision by the MMFF Executive Committee. Where is due process in all of this? We were merely informed of their decision, not given any opportunity to air our side. They sent the letter today. The awarding ceremony is tomorrow. Are they merely being good scouts and sticklers for the rules, even when no rule was broken? Or is there some other reason? Why disqualify the movie only from the Best Picture category and not all categories? Whose interests are being protected by this last-minute decision?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Together with my director Erik Matti, co-executive producer and actor John Lloyd Cruz, and everyone behind Honor Thy Father, I demand answers. We demand an investigation. But if no one would care or bother to investigate, then we simply wish that the moviegoers, the Filipino people would start to question and be more critical of what, year in and year out, is passed off to them as good and true.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>They can have their Best Picture and all the other awards. We just want to keep making movies that people will care about, MMFF or no MMFF.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Today is a sad day for the industry I was born into and love dearly. But it doesn’t have to stay this way.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Let’s do something about it. Let’s end the silence.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Dondon Monteverde</i><br />
<i>Reality Entertainment Inc.</i><br />

Direk Ilustre was asked by one follower on Twitter if Alden Richards' real-life girlfriend is Julie Ann San Jose, to which the director replied "Yup"<br />

Of course, this confirmation from Sunday PinaSaya's director angers AlDub fans specially when he accidentally liked a tweet bashing Maine Mendoza.<br />

On the Wings of Love Beats Finale of Beautiful Strangers; Because of You Rivals OTWOL

<br />
The finale episode of GMA Network's "Beautiful Strangers" was unfortunately beaten by the Kilig Serye of ABS-CBN, "On the Wings of Love" last November 27, 2015.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
In a data provided by ratings provider Kantar Media, "Beautiful Strangers" received 17.4% while OTWOL got 21.1%<br />
<br />
"Beautiful Strangers" stayed on air for about three months but was cut short due to poor ratings. "On the Wings of Love" on the other hand continues to trend weeknights and receive good ratings. The kilig-serye is also extended until Feburary of 2016.<br />
<br />
Last Monday, the new rival of OTWOL premiered on GMA Telebabad. "Because of You" is topbilled by Gabby Concepcion, Rafael Rosell and Carla Abellana.<br />
<br />
Will this new series be able to bring down "On the Wings of Love" starring JaDine - James Reid and Nadine Lustre? Or will this be GMA Network's third series to be axed against ABS-CBN's kilig-serye?<br />
