Rede ning modern romance on the big screen
GINO Santos’s Men Are From QC, Women Are From Alabang takes audiences on a journey through the intricate maze of modern relationships. Starring Heaven Peralejo and Marco Gallo, the film promises a relatable story that resonates with young audiences struggling to balance love, career, and personal issues.
The red carpet premiere at SM North Edsa Cinemas on April 30 was a starstudded affair, with fans flocking to the venue just to catch a glimpse of Peralejo and Gallo.
Turning heads on the red carpet, Marco sported a royal blue suit, while Heaven shimmered in a champagne dress. They acknowledged their adoring fans with waves while walking hand-in-hand.
“We’re just so happy that Direk Gino is our director because our talent, Marco’s and mine, wouldn’t have shined if it weren’t for him. When we watched the film yesterday, it was so beautiful, and we’re just so proud of this film,” Peralejo told reporters during an interview on the red carpet.
“This project offers something fresh,” Gallo said. “It’s a realistic story that I believe will resonate deeply with many viewers.”
This movie shows a couple in a real-life office romance. They treat each other well and want to improve themselves.
As the story progresses, we see how their love starts strong, but then they face challenges. They both want to succeed at work, but it can be hard to balance that with their relationship.
The director shows how important it is for couples to talk things out. If they don’t share their feelings and problems, it can hurt their love, even if it’s strong at first.
“Many will relate to this. I mean, if you work 9-5, stuck in traffic, not sure if you want to fall in love or focus on your career, this is the movie for you,” the director said.
While the premise may seem familiar, Men Are From QC, Women Are From Alabang gives a new way of thinking about the old question: can men and women really understand each other? By watching Peralejo and Gallo act, viewers are encouraged to think about their own experiences with the ups and downs of love in today’s world.
From Viva Entertainment, Men Are From QC, Women Are From Alabang, based on the best-selling book of the same title by Stanley Chi, is now screening nationwide.
