Who does not love the word: serendipity (Kate Natividad’s Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza rock!)? It sounds like our Tagalog word: ‘suwerte’. Who wouldn’t want luck coming one’s way?

Controversy has erupted over what is perceived to be politically-motivated selection of the honour roll of awardees in this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).
