Coco Martin gave his thoughts on the disqualification of &quot;Honor Thy Father&quot; from the Best Picture category of the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival in an episode of &quot;Tonight with Boy Abunda&quot; on Friday. Asked for his opinion on what director Erik Matti described as the &quot;MMFF scandal,&quot; the 34-year-old Martin replied: &quot;Nalulungkot lang ako kasi --ako, ginawa ko ang &#x27;Beauty and the Bestie&#x27; para sa mga tao, hindi para makipagkumpetensya, for the awards.&quot;&quot;Ngayon, ang opinyon ko diyan, unang-una nasa congress na siya. Pangalawa, ayaw ko makasakit ng kahit anong panig ng tao.&quot; &quot;Pero sabi ko nga, ang lagi kong wini-wish, one of these days ay maayos iyan, mapagtutulong-tulungan natin kung paano pa mas mapapaganda ang Metro Manila Film Festival,&quot; he added. <div><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/01/14/16/solons-see-injustice-in-mmff-irregularities" target="_blank">(FULL STORY: Solons see &#x27;injustice&#x27; in MMFF irregularities) </a></div>
