We never saw the trailer, but we watched this because of THE Eddie Garcia and Ms. Gloria Romero then just before watching the movie, I was very happy to see the other stars on the poster
Let me start with what my dad exclaimed after watching the movie, "This should be the Best Picture.  It's world class!"  He rarely uses "world class" describing a Filipino Film, so I believe he really is impressed.  We are too.  

The story is very controversial, most especially since it is set in a fictitious town called San Martin where people are narrow to close-minded. Even so, the movie is more than those controversies happening in reel and real lives.  It's about true friendship, true love, family relationships et cetera, et cetera.

Everyone was chosen well, and thankfully, they were able to immerse in their respective roles, and they ALL delivered!

For me, Ms. Gloria Romero stood out,  but I was also in awe with Aiko Melendez and Sunshine Dizon.

I'm so impressed with Ross Pesigan and Shido Roxas.  I think, but I'm not sure, it's the first time I watched both actors in a movie, but it's only Shido Roxas who is being introduced in this film.

There is no dead air.  Even Albie Casiño's lines, though his role was short, were greatly delivered.

I won't do a roll call anymore.  

Kudos to EVERYone involved in this movie in any capacity.

To you dear reader, thanks for your time.  I hope you get to see it too.
