The 50 Best Filipino Films of the 21st Century

We've invited 33 critics, academics, archivists, and reviewers who have closely followed Philippine cinema's output since the turn of the century to name their 10 favorite local films since 2001 (technically the first year of the 21st century). The voters relayed to us that it was a very challenging but fun undertaking. A total of 163 films received votes: of the top 50, 3 are documentaries, 14 are made by filmmakers who are based or primarily working outside Metro Manila (proof that regional cinema has made a lasting impact on the modern national cinematic landscape), and a whopping 46 are produced independently.
Here are the top 50 films of the 21st century so far.
