Meanwhile, comedy film “My Bebe Love” lead cast Ai-Ai delas Alas doubts Star Cinema’s statement on being the number one movie among MMFF entries as she believes that theirs is the actual highest-grossing MMFF film.
In response, Star Cinema AdProm manager Mico del Rosario has tweeted, “Tigilan na ‘yang pagiging bitter. E di, sabihin sa MMFF to release the rankings. Plain and simple… Naniniwala kami na produkto mo ang magsasalita para sa’yo. Never kaming may sinabi about competition because we always believe that competition also has something to offer to the market. I challenge the MMFF committee to release ranking with gross.”
“Stop being bitter. Tell MMFF to release the rankings. Plain and simple… We believe that your product will speak for you. We never said anything about competition because we always believe that competition also has something to offer to the market. I challenge the MMFF committee to release ranking with gross.”
Del Rosario, however, has not mentioned to whom in particular his tweets were meant for.
