The Rewind movie of Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes is a big hit
Rewind Movie – Some members of the board/jurors for the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2023 spoke about the fact that Kapuso Primetime Royalties Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes did not win a single award.
The said movie was Marian and Dingdong’s reunion movie. This is under Star Cinema, the film company owned by ABS-CBN. When the movie was released in cinemas, moviegoers flocked to watch this, just like what happened in a cinema in Pampanga that made Marian cry upon seeing the overwhelming support from fans.
However, despite the overwhelming reactions from fans and movie critics, Marian and Dingdong’s movie did not win any awards during the MMFF 2023 Gabi ng Parangal.
In a recent episode of talent manager-vlogger Ogie Diaz’s Showbiz Update on YouTube, this was one of the topics that he discussed with Mama Loi and Dyosa Pockoh.
On the other hand, the movie had some nominations. Ogie shared that his friend who is from the camp of Marian and Dingdong asked, “Ano ba, pagkapangit-pangit ba ng pelikula namin?”
The talent manager-vlogger also shared that when he talked to some of the members of the board, they expressed that they were surprised as well why the Rewind movie did not win any awards but they voted for the movie.
Ogie asked the jurors if they had an overview of all the votes that a movie received. The members of the board shared that they did not know the vote tally. It was said that the discussion about the vote tabulation just happened between Direk Chito Roño, who is the chairman of the board, and the members of the executive committee of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
As of writing, Direk Chito and the MMDA executive committee haven’t released a statement yet about this matter.
