Dagupan (CNN Philippines Life) — With Filipino stories dominating the screens every Christmas season, the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) is historically home to some of mainstream Filipino cinema’s best and worst.
This year, the MMFF expands its film selection to ten films instead of the usual eight, and offers even Filipinos outside of the country a chance to celebrate with the community, via online streaming as the country is still in quarantine.

Metro Manila Film Festival Digital Edition – The Manila Times

In just a few days, the world will be celebrating Christmas in very different ways. Here in the Philippines for one—the country known for having the longest holiday celebration—the contrast from Christmases past is truly very stark.
1 of 5
Unlike before, cities and homes hardly glitter with holiday décor; malls aren’t crowded with the happy buzz of shoppers; and the usual parties and reunions aren’t allowed, when all these sights and feels should have been afoot as soon as the ber-months began. Sadly, the global crisis that is the Coronavirus Pandemic has not let up in the last nine months, with the newly approved vaccine only being given to volunteers this past week.

How the hero kids in 'MagikLand' were cast

Published December 17, 2020, 8:47 AM
How did the former Congressman of Negros Occidental (also producer of Brightlights Productions) Albee Benitez and his townmate/master filmmaker Peque Gallaga (RIP) and storywriter of “Magikland”- choose the young actors who played the folklore characters of Negros, that abound in the theme park— to play the lead characters in the movie version “Magikland”?
The Four Elements in the Negros legend are: Boy Bakunawa, Mara Marapara, Pat Patag and Kit Kanlaon.
Let’s hear it from the director Christian Acuna.
1) BOY BAKUNAWA “Boy Bakunawa is the top player of Magikland, the game. He’s the group’s leader. “He played Magikland as an escape from his problems. He is a kid with a golden heart. “He knows the most about the game. His way of dealing with the hardships of caring for his sick mother is by playing the game. “His weapon is Espada ng Katapatan (Sword of Truth), which goes back to his core as a loyal and golden heart person. “Boy, teamed up with the Bakunawa, the Dragon King, the mythical god of Magikland, they fight against the evil Lord Mogrado-or. A boy stands for the common good and believes if you lead with your heart you can never go wrong.

Albee Benitez reveals budget for PH most expensive fantasy film 'MagikLand'

Nevermind the budget.
Former Congressman Albee Benitez, owner of BrightLight Production, is happy with the outcome of “MagikLand,” one of the 10 official entries to the virtual 2020 Metro Manila Film Festival, which took almost two years to be finished.
“The original budget is P90 million but we already crossed P100 million. Actually I stopped counting. Considering the number of special effects, computer graphics, animation, lumagpas na kami ng isang daan. If you look at it, parang secondary ‘yung business side ng film,” said Benitez during an interview in Quezon City on Dec. 9.
Through “MagikLand,” Benitez said that he was able to prove that Filipinos can make a quality fantasy film.
