Highlights
Best Picture Ang Panday
Most awards Mano Po 6: A Mother's Love and Ang Panday (7)

The 35th Metro Manila Film Festival–Philippines was held from December 25, 2009 to January 7, 2010. During this period, no other films are allowed to be screened in Philippine theaters.

Ang Panday received the Best Picture Award in the 2009 Metro Manila Film Festival. According to reports on the festival’s awards, a film's grosses represent about 40% of its merits, so it should be no surprise that Ang Panday is chosen the best film. With revenues estimated at more than P20 million (approx. US$430,000), Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr.'s vehicle has led the Metro Manila festival's box office in its first three days.[1] The film also earned seven other awards including the Best Actor for Revilla, Metro Manila Film Festival Award for Best Supporting Actor and Child Performer for second consecutive time winners Phillip Salvador and Buboy Villar respectively, and Best Original Theme Song for Ogie Alcasid among others.

Meanwhile, Regal Films' Mano Po 6: A Mother's Love won six awards including the Best Actress for Sharon Cuneta, Best Supporting Actress for Heart Evangelista, Best Director for Joel Lamangan and the prestigious Gatpuno Antonio J. Villegas Cultural Awards above others.[2]
