The Metro Manila Film Festival has announced its eight official entries for its maiden summer edition this April.

There were 33 film submissions, 23 of which are new entries while 10 are resubmissions from the MMFF last December. The selection committee then chose the final eight based on artistic excellence (40%), commercial appeal (40%), Filipino cultural sensibility (10%), and global appeal (10%).
