The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority is assuring the public that the conduct of the Metro Manila Film Festival Parade of Stars slated on 21 December 2022 will be smooth.
The parade, hosted by the Quezon City government, will feature floats carrying the stars of the eight official movie entries in this year's Metro Manila Film Festival beginning at Welcome Rotonda at 4 p.m. and ending at Quezon Memorial Circle.
MMDA acting chairman and concurrent MMFF over-all chairperson Romando Artes said that members of the Traffic Engineering Center, Traffic Discipline Office and Sidewalk Clearing Operations Group are working hand-in-hand with the local government of Quezon City and barangay leaders to manage traffic and ensure safety of the people attending the parade.
The MMFF Parade Committee, the local government of Quezon City, and concerned barangay officials have also inspected the route and the parade grounds.
Artes added that the staging area for the floats of eight official entries and MMDA will be along E. Rodriguez Avenue to Banawe. On the evening of 20 December motorists are advised to stay away from the site for the construction of stage and float ingress.
The parade will cover a distance of 7.36 kilometers and is expected to take a minimum of two hours and 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, the MMDA also listed alternate routes for motorists that will be affected by the parade.
