In between shooting scenes for his upcoming new teleserye, Daniel Padilla took some time to talk to the press to promote his film Kun Maupay Man It Panahon’s inclusion in this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).<img alt='' src='https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/dev/push/media/2021-december/121321/daniel-10.jpg' >“Nagulat din ako (laughs). Hindi ko rin masyado inasahan na makakapasok pa kami sa MMFF. Well I think ito na siguro yung tamang timing din na mapanuod natin yung pelikula kasi siyempre nakaikot na din siya abroad sa iba’t ibang film festivals. So it’s the right time na mapanuod na din natin ngayon yung pelikula na atin din naman talaga na na-appreciate nila sa ibang bansa. Eh dapat lang natin mapanuod na dahil atin yung pelikula na ito, sa atin nanggaling, sa atin nangyari, sa atin nagmula. So I’m very excited na mapanuod nila kasi it’s very different and very beautiful,” he said during the press interviews for Kun Maupay Man It Panahon last December 12.<a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/10/27/fresh-scoops/daniel-padilla-charo-santos-film-to-compete-in-sin-196548'><img alt='' src='https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/dev/push/media/2021-december/121321/daniel-4.jpg' >Daniel Padilla-Charo Santos film to compete in Singapore film fest</a><img alt='' src='https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/dev/push/media/2021-december/121321/daniel-8.jpg' >DJ said he is proud that his film had its international premiere at the prestigious Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland last August, where it competed and bagged a special award—the Cinema e Gioventù Prize, the Youth Jury award.
