Sa countdown ng Manila International Film Festival sa Facebook page nito, ginamit ang pictures nina Vilma Santos, Alden Richards, Kathryn Bernardo, at Vice Ganda kahit hindi sila a-attend sa 2nd MIFF.
Walng awards night ang MIFF 2025.

JERRY OLEA
Naibalita ng kaibigang si Oliver Carnay sa Hollywood Flip blog niya about MIFF 2025 na dadalo rito sina:

Ruru Madrid, Sofia Pablo at scriptwriter Ricky Lee ng Green Bones
Arjo Atayde, Enchong Dee at producer Sylvia Sanchez ng Topakk

Part pa rin ng MIFF ang And The Breadwinner Is… at Hold Me Close.
Walang artistang kinatawan ang And The Breadwinner Is…, samantalang TBA pa ang taga-Hold Me Close sa Q&A.
Marami kayang bibili ng tiket worth $268.61 sa tribute gala ng MIFF sa Marso 7, Biyernes, considering na mas STAR-STUDDED iyong Konsyerto Para Sa Filipino sa Marso 8 na LIBRE?
Kung sa unang MIFF ay iyong sampung 49th MMFF entries lamang ang ipinalabas, sa ikalawang MIFF ay walo lamang sa 50th MMFF entries ang kalahok.
Naka-lineup din sa MIFF 2025 ang mga pelikulang Eraserheads: Combo on the Run, Love Hurts, The Debut, Hello, Love, Again, Nurse Unseen, Song of the Fireflies, Everything About My Wife, Faith Healers, at Magikland.
