The words above is the message this movie wants to remind us of.  Patty(Sharon Cuneta) did not know how to love herself so she was never truly happy, until Cocoy(Robin Padilla) came back into her life after thirty-five years.  The young one...

There were a few goofs, but I don't think a lot of people noticed it.  I won't mention them, but see if you would notice them yourselves. If I were you, I would just relax and enjoy the movie.   This is, according to her, Cristine Reyes ' last sexy  film and I know that a lot of guys would be disappointed, but we're praising God for it. ...
