Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) acting chair and MMFF overall concurrent chair Romando Artes said the promotion is part of the "Sine Sigla sa Singkwenta" meant to commemorate the 50th edition of the MMFF. 'We will bring some of the most memorable MMFF films back to the big screen for just P50, allowing both new audiences and long-time fans to experience the magic of those beloved films once again. These films represent the very best of what the MMFF has offered over the past five decades,' Artes said during the program's launch at the MMDA office in Guadalupe, Makati City. A hand-painted mural of actors and actresses representing the 50 years of MMFF movies has also been unveiled along EDSA.

This also serves as a tribute to the filmmakers, actors, and artists who have helped shape the MMFF throughout the years,' he said. Hand-painted posters of past movies will also adorn walls along EDSA through a partnership with iAcademy, a specialized computing, business, and design academic institution. 'As we look forward to another 50 years, let us continue to support and promote the MMFF and the local film industry, and encourage our Filipino filmmakers to create meaningful and impactful films that resonate with audiences both local and abroad,' he said.
