GUMAWA ng kasaysayan hindi lang sa Metro Manila Film Festival kundi sa buong industriya ng Pelikulang Pilipino ang "I'mPerfect" na pinagbibidahan ng People with Down Syndrome matapos itong tanghaling Best Picture sa ginanap na MMFF 2025 Gabi ng Parangal.

"People with Down Syndrome, People with Disability, you made history tonight!" pagmamalaki ng "I'mPerfect" executive producer at cast member na si Sylvia Sanchez nang tanggapin nila ang Best Picture award.

Big win ito para sa "I'mPerfect" dahil ito ang kauna-unahang Pinoy movie na pinagbibidahan ng mga artistang may Down Syndrome na nanalo ng Best Picture.

Nagpasalamat naman si "I'mPerfect" director Sigrid Andrea Bernardo kay Sylvia dahil sa tiwalang ibinigay nito para ituloy ang proyekto. Aniya, maraming producers ang nagpakita ng interes nang ialok niya ang pelikula pero natatanging si Sylvia at ang Nathan Studios lang ang sumugal talaga para iprodyus at gawin ang pelikula.

Iniuwi rin ng baguhang aktres with Down Syndrome na si Krystel Go ang Best Actress award para sa mahusay niyang pagganap bilang si Jessica sa "I'mPerfect." Naging emosyonal nga si Krystel sa kanyang speech at sinabing, "Kaya rin naming umarte!"

Hindi rin nagpakabog ang buong cast ng "l'mPerfect" nang parangalan sila ng Best Ensemble Award. Bukod kay Krystel kasama rin sa cast si Earl Amaba, na nominated for Best Actor, at ang talented new actors na tulad nila ay may Down Syndrome rin. Suportado sila ng mga beterano at magagaling na artistang sina Sylvia Sanchez, Lorna Tolentino, Joey Marquez, Tonton Gutierrez, Janice de Belen, Zaijian Jaranilla at marami pang iba.

Humakot din ng awards ang nanalong 2nd Best Picture na "UnMarry" pati na ang 3rd Best Pictures na "Manila's Finest" at "Call Me Mother."

Nakita naman ang mahigpit na yakapan at pagbati sa isa't isa nina Vice Ganda ng "Call Me Mother" at Piolo Pascual ng "Manila's Finest" nang umakyat sa stage para sa 3rd Best Picture Award kasama ang mga producer, direktor at cast ng kanilang mga pelikula.

Directed by Jeffrey Jeturian, na nanalong Best Director, ang "UnMarry" ay produced ng Quantum Films at CineKo Productions. Pinagbibidahan ito nina Angelica Panganiban at Zanjoe Marudo kasama sina Tom Rodriguez na nagwaging Best Supporting Actor, at Zack Sibug na binigyan naman ng Breakthrough Performance award.

Ang "Manila's Finest" ay directed by Raymond Red at produced by MQuest Ventures, Cignal, at Spring Films. Pinagbibidahan ito ni Piolo Pascual kasama sina Enrique Gil, Cedrick Juan, Dylan Menor, Joey Marquez, Ariel Rivera, Rico Blanco, Rica Peralejo, at marami pang iba. Iniuwi ng "Manila's Finest" ang karamihan sa technical awards pati na rin ang Gatpuno J. Villegas Cultural Award na tinanggap ni MQuest Ventures CEO Jane Jimenez Basas.

Pinagbibidahan naman nina Vice Ganda, na nagwaging Best Actor, at Nadine Lustre ang "Call Me Mother" directed by Jun Robles Lana and produced by Star Cinema, The IdeaFirst Company, and Viva Films. Kasama rin sa pelikula si Lucas Andalio, na nanalong Best Child Performer. Nakuha rin ng "Call Me Mother" ang Gender Sensitivity Award.
