Film festival edition
The 29th Metro Manila Film Festival was held in the Philippine International Convention Center, Pasay, Philippines, from December 25, 2003 to January 8, 2004.
Maricel Soriano and Eric Quizon were chosen the Best Actress and Best Actor respectively in the 2003 Metro Manila Film Festival for playing the eldest child roles in two different films. Soriano plays the oldest of six children in Viva Films' "Filipinas", while Quizon plays the eldest son who, in keeping with Chinese tradition, hires professional mourners to weep at his father's funeral, in Unitel Pictures' "Crying Ladies". Hilda Koronel, cast as a 1970s bit player whose career is on the wane in "Crying Ladies", was named the Best Supporting Actress, while Victor Neri won as the Best Supporting Actor for playing the activist-middle son in "Filipinas".
