If rumors are to be believed, Lily Monteverde, shown here with Gabby Concepcion and Maricel Soriano, who star in Yesterday Today Tomorrow, will not join next year's MMFF.

Manay Ichu Maceda (not in picture), a member of the Metro Manila Film Festival execom, explains why said movie was disqualified from competing in four categories of the 37^th MMFF. "Actually, may violation kasi. Na kapag binago nang husto ang istorya... major revision from the approved storyline, magkakaroon ng penalty... So we decided [to give the] least heavy [penalty]. Which is to disqualify [Regal] from the awards," she says.

Marami ang nagtatanong kay Manay Ichu Maceda tungkol sa usapin sa pagkaka-disqualify ng entry ng Regal Films na Yesterday Today Tomorrow na manalo ng mga major awards sa Metro Manila Film Festival 2011.

Isa sa miyembro ng executive committee ng MMFF si Manay Ichu.

“Actually, may violation kasi,” pahayag ni Manay Ichu nang makapanayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) nuong Miyerkules, December 28, sa gabi ng parangal ng MMFF sa Newport Performing Arts Theater sa Resorts World.

“Na kapag binago nang husto ang istorya… major revision from the approved storyline, magkakaroon ng penalty.

“Na… number one… forfeiture ng performance bond na 500 thousand [pesos].

“Number two… disqualification from participating in next year’s film festival.

“Number three… disqualification from the awards.

“So we decided [to give the] least heavy [penalty]. Which is to disqualify [Regal] from the awards.

“Hindi namin binawi ‘yong 500 thousand. Hindi namin sila [Regal] pinagbawalan na mag-join next year.

“At ‘yong sinasabi na… lahat naman ng script binabago at may mga revisions, totoo ‘yan. Lahat ng script may revisions.

“Pero kapag ang binago mo ay ‘yong istorya, kahit pa you stick to the same genre, iyon ang malaking deviation na tinatawag.

“Ibang-iba na kasi no’ng ma-revise [‘yong script ng Yesterday Today Tomorrow].

“Sa original script, ang story tatlong magkakapatid na babae. Dito [sa final na kinalabasan ng pelikula] kapag pinanood ninyo, ibang-iba na," ayon kay Manay Ichu.

Nagkausap na ba sila ng Regal Films producer na si Mother Lily Monteverde?

Balita kasing labis umanong ikinasama ng loob nito ang naging desisyon ng MMFF committee.

Paano di hahakot ang Asion Salonga eh may Ejercito sa MMFF Committe. Di man lang nag-inhibit. Kaloka. Obvious ba na politika na naman. 10M ang YTT nung opening, 3M lang ang Asiong, tapos ngayon baliktad na. Sino naman manonood dun kay ER eh tuwing nakikita ang mukha niya, yung rapist roles niya ang naaalala.

nagbago ang istorya, they gave the least heavy penalty. so ano anong mali ang dapat to get all three penalties? bakit kunyari pang may other rules if they won't be enforced? kaloka, the rules are flexible pala.

Among the entries, YTT is the less promoted. Walang ads placements sa GMA AT ABS. Not so many people are aware kung ano ba ang kwento ng YTT. Ang tanging pagasang maka generate pa ng curiosity ay ang awards.. na pinagkait pa dahil gusto ni Mang Asiong na sa kanya mapunta lol!

Masaya kaya si Gob sa panggagapang niya para manalo ang Asiong at mabawi ang nagastos niya? lol! Simula pa lang ng pagsali ng Asiong, nagpaka kontrobersiyal na si ER... inaway si Robin, nakipag agawan ng slots, inaway si Mother Lily, si Tikoy, Laboratory na nag process ng prints etc etc. lol! Kakahiya ka Asiong.. este ER.. Parang kang Gangster sa movie mo lol!

Kung hindi malakas ang laban ng YTT sa apat na major categories, kanila din ba itong ipapa disqualify? I believe, nanalo na ang YTT.. at humanap na lang sila ng butas para ma disqualify ito. Kakaiba. Politiko nga naman. lol!

Rules? May rules ba ang MMFF? Sila ang pabago bago ng rules nila kung ano lang maisipan nila. Talagang habang ginagawa mo ang movies, may mga revisions na nangyayari. Bakit kasi sila nag approve ng entries sa stories pa lang. lol! Bakit hindi finished products?

Dapat kung nagviolate nung after nireview nung Dec 18 ng MMFF ang film eh sinabi ng disqualified na ang YTT at di na pinalabas sa MMFF. Naghanap na lng ang Regal ng ibang playdate. Bakit only a day before the awarding saka sinabi??? Tuloy daming nagiisip na napulitika ito ni Asiong dahil based on reviews - it is a good film na malakas ang laban sa Best Picture.
