This year’s board of jurors includes Laurice Guillen , Rep. Jojo Garcia , Tirso Cruz III , Rep. Dan Fernandez, Raquel Villavicencio, Ino Manalo, Alex Cortez, Noah Tonga, Victor Pablo Trinidad and Lucky Blanco.“First of all, each juror has his or her own perspective as to which film should win, and this really enriched our discussions,” Guillen began.
Guillen then explained that discussions were necessary because “one juror might have liked a particular film or performance but overlooked another. Through the discussion, he would be made to recall what the film is about. As jury head, that was my responsibility, to make sure that everyone’s vote preferences were considered. Everything else is secret voting. That’s the rule of the MMFF. There’s no secret about that.
