The issue became a hot topic on social media when netizens posted tickets for the Vice Ganda and Coco Martin starrer ‘Beauty and the Bestie’ while saying they had watched Vic Sotto and AiAi Delas Alas’ film, ‘My Bebe Love.’ The two films are fighting to be number one at the MMFF 2015 box office.
On its Facebook account, MMFF said on Saturday, “The Metro Manila Film Festival, after looking into the ticket swapping issue, strongly denies the existence of such and is enjoining all the stakeholders of the Festival to be responsible in expressing their sentiments especially on Social Media.”
“The objective of the MMFF is to promote the local film industry and this baseless issue will only sideline the true intent and purpose of the Festival. Let’s continue supporting all the entries of the MMFF 2015.”
