Pararangalan si Mother Lily Monteverde sa gaganaping Manila International Film Festival (MIFF) ngayong March 7 (American time).
Nag-iisa lang naman talaga si Mother Lily na malaki ang ambag sa industriya ng pelikulang Tagalog.
Hindi matatawaran ang kanyang mga nagawa sa mahabang taon kaya kahit nasa kabilang buhay na siya, hinding-hindi ‘yun makakalimutan.
Tatanggapin ang parangal niya ng anak niyang si Roselle Monteverde na nagpapatuloy sa kanyang mga naiwan sa Regal Entertainment.
Ayon sa pamunuan ng MIFF, sa pangunguna ni Lisa Lew, ang Executive Producer, Co-Founder ng grupo : “MIFF will feature the best in Philippine Cinema at the TCL Theaters in Hollywood, March 4th-7th, culminating in a closing night Tribute Dinner at the iconic Beverly Hilton, March 7th, 2025, where we will also pay tribute to our Fil-Am community of first responders who helped to protect so many in the L.A. Fires.
“Your mother, Mother Lily Monteverde was a most inspiring and powerful voice in our world with a unique gift of uniting our two worlds.
“A voice that brings our culture to life is what the Manila International Film Festival is all about.
“We would be most honored to celebrate Mother Lily and her life’s work with the Monty Manibog MIFF Lifetime Achievement Award at our March 7th Tribute Dinner Celebration. We were hoping you and your family might be joining us to accept the award on your mother’s behalf.
“Mother Lily’s has left a legacy and impact with every heart that beats across the more than 7,000 islands of the Philippines, the success of Regal Films serves as a powerful source of inspiration for filmmakers and talent from Manila and abroad, who are eager to reach a broader more international audience. Together we hope to build a bridge between our two worlds.”
Bukod sa tatanggaping award para kay Mother Lily, ipalalabas din sa MIFF ang entry ng Regal noong nakaraang MMFF, My Future You starring Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin.
