The only action film entry in this year's MMFF "Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story" received most of the awards. As expected, Regal Entertainment's entry "Yesterday Today Tomorrow" wasn't able to get any of the four major awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, at Gatpuno Villegas Cultural Award) as it gets disqualified as decided by MMFF committee one day before the awards ceremony due to the producer's decision to change the pre-approved cast and storyline of the movie and it is against the rules of the festival.
