It was on August 4 when Gabby agreed to take Derek&#8217;s role in the film. Citing the decision, the actress said that if they would insist on having Gabby as the lead actor, their movie will be disqualified for the MMFF.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>&#8220;Pinalaki po ako <\/i>(I was raised) to ABIDE by RULES. <i>Hindi po kami ang<\/i> lead producer <i>ng <\/i>(We are not the lead producer of)\u00a0(K)Ampon. So unfortunately, my return to horror was not meant to be for MMFF 2019,&#8221; Kris said in one of her posts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The comment section showed how saddened her fans were at the news but the actress told them to &#8216;respect&#8217; the organizer&#8217;s decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In another post, she said there were suggestions that she should appeal the decision but did not do it because she said she was raised with &#8220;delicadeza.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;Two members of the executive committee are friends, one is one of my closest friends &#8211; <i>kaya hindi ko magawa <\/i>(but I cannot do it)<i>,&#8221; <\/i>Kris wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>&#8220;Tulala ngayon kasi bukod sa hindi tuloy ang isang<\/i> project <i>na ginusto ko talaga, may ilang milyon din na sagutin kami sa<\/i> (I&#8217;m in a daze now because aside from the project that I really like not pushing through, we also have to pay some millions for the) MMFF bond, prod staff, crew, and artists&#8230; no blame no game, but to clear my name, I was concerned about shooting until we had the approval of the MMFF rules committee, but I wasn&#8217;t producer in charge&#8230; as I said, #lessonlearned,&#8221; she continued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In her third post, the actress said she hopes that her fans will learn from her experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>&#8220;Ano nga bang pakialam nyo sa <\/i>movie <i>na hindi matutuloy <\/i>(Why should you care about a movie that will not push through)<i>?<\/i> It matters to me because please learn from my pain, I hope- missed deadlines will matter a lot&#8230; holding on to your values &amp; principles will define you NOW &amp; in the future&#8230; and it\u2019s okay to not always be the brave girl when something that INSPIRED you is now gone, <i>dahil ginusto mong patunayan na pantay pantay nga tayong lahat <\/i> (because you wanted to prove that we are all equal)<i>,&#8221; <\/i>she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Among other official entries included in its 2019 run, according to the MMFF last month, include &#8220;Miracle in Cell #7&#8221; starring Aga Muhlach and Bela Padilla, &#8220;Mission Unstapabol: The Don Identity&#8221; starring Vic Sotto and Maine Mendoza, and &#8220;Momalland&#8221; starring Vice Ganda and Anne Curtis. Held annually, the MMFF usually starts every December 25, Christmas Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View this post on Instagram Pinalaki po ako to ABIDE by RULES.
