Archie Alemania and Candy Pangilinan entertained the people who were waiting for the parade to start at the Quezon Memorial Circle. The nine floats started moving at around 2 p.m., but only eight managed to stay with the parade, which ended at around 9 p.m. at the Cultural Center Complex.

Rica Peralejo and Angelica Panganiban--stars of the segments "Aparador" and "Tokador" in the movie Matakot Ka Sa Karma--chat with each other while waiting at the stage set up in front of the Aliw Theater.

One of the highlights of the 32nd Metro Manila Film Festival-Philippines (MMFF-P) is the annual Parade of Stars featuring the elaborate floats of the nine competing films. Unfortunately, this Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah Ze Moveeh float was disqualified because it was unable to reach the finish line at Aliw Theater in Manila. It had fallen to engine trouble.

Just like last year, the floats did not converge at the CCP Complex. Instead, the stars of the MMFF-P entries boarded their floats at the Quezon Memorial Circle. This allowed more fans to see the cast members along the more than 10-kilometer route. The parade, which took place last December 24, ended in front of Aliw Theater.

Vic Sotto waves to the crowd from his futuristic-looking float. Vic stayed for the Parade of Stars, but two days after, he's all set to fly with Pia Guanio, his girlfriend, for a vacation abroad.

Katrina Halili and Andrew Muhlach were the first stars to board the Super Noypi float. Sandara Park was able to catch up with their float by hitching a ride with a Metro Manila Development Authority motorcycle.

Judy Ann Santos alone was a big treat for movie fans lining the Parade of Stars route. But Judy Ann with Ryan Agoncillo, her real-life sweetheart and leading man in Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo, was double the treat. Top that with a float that looked like a three-layer wedding cake, at a time rumors are circulating about the sweethearts getting wed, and the fans were in for a thrill! With them is Ms. Gina Pareño (in pink), who plays Juday's mother in the movie.

Senator Lito Lapid and his sons Mark (leftmost) and Maynard were all present in the float of Tatlong Baraha. Joining them was Phoemela Baranda, Senator Lapid's leading lady in the movie.

The spaceship float of Super Noypi came with a high-tech laser that impressed the night crowd. If they go watch the movie, they will be even more impressed. The special effects of this movie are the best found in this MMFF crop.

Rica Peralejo and Angelica Panganiban manned the float of Matakot Ka sa Karma, a film directed by Jose Javier Reyes. The movie, another three-parter, also starred comebacking actress Gretchen Barretto, who did not make it to the Parade of Stars.

Cesar Montano (rightmost) can be seen standing in the float of CM Films' Ligalig, a movie he produced/directed/and starred in. Beside him is his daughter and beside them is Sunshine Cruz, his wife and co-producer/actor in the crime-suspense thriller.

The float of Shake, Rattle and Roll 8, a three-part movie, came with supernatural creatures from Filipino folklore. In the actual movie, the "Yaya" episode directed by Topel Lee, starring child actor Nash Aguas, had a manananggal for the enemy.

Regal Entertainment banks on the love team of Richard Gutierrez and Angel Locsin in the romantic comedy Mano Po 5: Gua Ai Di (I Love You). Fans of the love team waited for hours just to get a glimpse of their idols. Angel's real-life sweetheart Oyo Boy Sotto was onboard the Enteng Kabisote 3 float to promote his own Metro Manila Film Fest entry.

That's Rustom Padilla waving a gloved hand from the float of ZsaZsa Zaturnnah Ze Moveeh. He had on a pink Paul Cabral gown and spent two hours getting made up and dressed. Too bad his float broke down near the Mabuhay Rotonda, which sits between Quezon City and Manila.

Mano Po 5: Gua Ai Di (I Love You) cast members wore the Chinese color for good luck, good health, and everything positive: red! The cooperative stars of Mother Lily's film were all present: Lorna Tolentino, Richard Gutierrez, Angel Locsin, Christian Bautista, and Ketchup Eusebio.

"Bossing" Vic Sotto looks forward to another blockbuster movie with the release of this third installment of the Enteng Kabisote series. He is flanked by Bing Loyzaga who plays Satana in this fantasy movie.

Aside from the three decorative horses placed in front of the Tatlong Baraha float, a live white-and-gray stallion also accompanied the float when it paraded in front of crowd gathered at the Aliw Theater.

Cesar Montano boarded the float of Ligalig with his wife Sunshine Cruz (who served as actress and line producer in this film). Their daughter, Angelina (not pictured), could be seen dancing on top of the float, completely oblivious to the hundreds of people watching her from the streets below.

The flower-decked float of Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo was decorated with red, white and peach-colored roses. Completing its romantic look was an all-white gazebo at the end of the float. Some people watching the parade commented that the float looked beautiful but it was lacking the lead stars Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo.

Shake, Rattle and Roll 8 cast members took time out to pose for PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal). They include (clockwise from left) Nene Tamayo, Iza Calzado, Roxanne Guinoo, Ehra Madrigal, Sheryl Cruz, Nash Aguas and Cass Ponti.
