Early January
Major annual film festival held starting on Christmas Day and lasting until the New Year. Only films selected by the jurors of the organization are shown in cinemas during this time, and entries are restricted to domestic Filipino films. In total about 8-10 films are shown at cinemas throughout the Metro Manila. The film festival is also famous for its opening ceremony—a float parade down Roxas Boulevard where each float represents one of the films selected.
