Refreshments for registered guests will be served at 3 pm onwards, in the mall's activity center during the fan conference.

Mallari is a partly fictional, partly true-to-life account inspired by the true story of Fr. Mallari, a parish priest in the 1800s who killed 57 people before being caught, thereby becoming the first and only recorded Filipino serial killer ever, antedating Jack The Ripper by more than 60 years.

The film takes pride in its high-quality production and high caliber team, which earned the nod of Warner Bros. and promises to be the scariest movie this Christmas season during the MMFF 2023 run in cinemas nationwide.
