The local government of Quezon City will be hosting this year's "Parade of the Stars" which features a motorcade of floats carrying the stars of the official entry to the 48th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).
Lawyer Romando Artes, chairman of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), said the Parade of Stars will start from Welcome Rotonda-Quezon Avenue to Quezon Memorial Circle at 2 p.m. on Dec. 21. The staging point of the parade will be along E. Rodriguez to D. Tuazon.
"The parade will run for seven kilometers, with an estimated travel time of two hours and 30 minutes," said Artes, as he advised motorists and commuters to plan their travel on the scheduled date.
"Our traffic enforcers will assist on the sidelines of the parade route for crowd control," he added.
The official eight entries to the MMFF 2022 are: "Deleter" by Viva Communications, Inc.; "Family Matters" by Cineko Productions, Inc.; "Mamasapano: Now It Can Be Told" by Borracho Film Production; "My Father, Myself" by 3:16 Media Network and Mentorque Productions; "Nanahimik ang Gabi" by Rein Entertainment Productions; "Partners in Crime" by ABS-CBN Film Productions; “Labyu with an Accent” by ABS-CBN Film Productions and "My Teacher" by TEN17P.
