In 2006, Octoarts Films and M-Zet Production's "" was declared the Best Picture after festival organizers changed the criteria for the award by giving more weight to "commercial appeal". As it was the only prize that the film won, the decision to let the film receive it becomes the subject of yet another controversy at the festival. Movie producer Star Cinema made a protest to the MMDA and wrote to then MMFF chairman Bayani Fernando, claiming that the movie "Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo" should have won Best Picture because it topped the box office for the first few days.
