Pangilinan on Wednesday stepped foot inside the ABS-CBN compound to attend the media conference of the upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) movie of Coco Martin and Jodi Sta. Maria “Labyu With An Accent.”
According to Pangilinan, she is grateful that her mother network allowed her to do a movie with Martin and other Kapamilya artists.
This is not the first time that she will be working with Martin as they were paired before for an afternoon drama series in the rival network.
Pangilinan also noticed the impressive work ethic of Martin, which has been the actor’s trademark through the years.
The “Ang Probinsyano” star is also doubling as the director of “Labyu With An Accent,” impressing his co-stars, including Pangilinan.
“Labyu With An Accent,” an entry to this year’s MMFF, also marks the first team-up of Sta. Maria and Martin.
The story revolves around Gabo (Martin) and Trisha (Sta. Maria) whose backgrounds are entirely different from one another.
Trisha spent some 20 years living and working in the US while Gabo works different jobs to make ends meet in the Philippines. The two characters will cross paths when Trish returns to the country.
Aside from Martin and Sta. Maria, also included in the cast are Nova Villa, Joross Gamboa, Nikki Valdez, and Nash Aguas.
Produced by Star Cinema, “Labyu With An Accent” is one of the two ABS-CBN films that will be part of the 2022 MMFF alongside Vice Ganda and Ivana Alawi’s “Partners In Crime.”
