Francis Tolentino , then-chairman of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority ( MMDA ) changed the category name of " indie " films to " New Wave " films to make it sound better and more attractive to hear , as well as including " Student Short Film Category " for the first time . Consequently , the next year , the 38th Metro Manila Film Festival held in 2012 became the highest earning MMFF to date with 767 million pesos , 21 % higher than that of 2011
