After its fluvial edition last year, the Parade of Stars returned to the streets bringing cast members of this year’s MMFF entries closer to their adoring public.
For the actors, the MMFF going back to regular programming, so to speak, restored a semblance of normalcy in show biz—one of the most badly hit industries by the pandemic.
Nikki Valdez is part of two films, “Labyu” and “Family,” but opted to join the latter, because two of its senior main stars, Liza Lorena and Noel Trinidad, couldn’t take part in the motorcade. Organized by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and hosted by the local government of Quezon City, the parade kicked off with a short program near the Mabuhay Rotonda roundabout at around 4 p.m.Dark clouds loomed all afternoon, but that didn’t deter fans and curious passersby from crowding the sidewalks and overpasses on E. Rodriguez Sr. Ave., where the floats were parked.
And with a bang of the ceremonial gong, Artes, together with Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte formally opened the parade, which traversed a seven-kilometer route that passed through Quezon Ave. and ended at the Quezon Memorial Circle. But will the stars’ presence at the parade be enough to make people buy tickets? While moviegoing confidence has yet to return to prepandemic levels, the stars are hopeful that this year’s offerings pique people’s interest and inspire them to troop to the cinemas.
