Much awaited romantic dramedy reunites Vhong Navarro and Toni Gonzaga
REDWOOD CITY, CA, November 6, 2008 – Following the huge box-office success of “For The First Time”, Star Cinema continues its parade of 15th anniversary offerings with My Only U, a Vhong Navarro-Toni Gonzaga starrer, which ABS-CBN International’s Stary Starry Store will bring to the U.S. theaters this November.
My Only U reportedly made P11 million just on its opening day in the Philippines. Directed by popular director Cathy Garcia-Molina of “A Very Special Love”, fame, the film reunites Vhong Navarro and Toni Gonzaga. They last starred three years ago in the blockbuster horror comedy, “D’ Anothers”. They also worked together in the TV comedy news program, “Wazzup, Wazzup”.
The film injects humor and love in what is otherwise a serious topic: death. Here, the characters are confronted with the question: What would you do if you learn that the one you are secretly in love with only has a few days to live?
Vhong plays Bong, a tenement manager, who has always liked his friend Winona (Toni) but never summoned the courage to tell her of his feelings. He has no idea that Winona is also interested in him romantically.
One day, in the tenement he is managing, he receives final notes from their late neighborhood doctor’s assistant: one for him, one for Winona. When he checked his, he found out he was given a clean bill of health. He was worried for Winona who belongs to a family whose women all die before the age of 25. Bong knows Winona is turning 25 soon and the medical notes might just confirm that so-called curse.
Bong opens the letter from the doctor: Winona has lupus and she will die soon.
Bong vows to make Winona’s remaining days happy and perfect. In the process, they became closer to each other and begin to fall in love. Then Winona finally turned 25. She didn’t die. She finds the letter sent by the hospital. She discovers her results were actually negative.
Bong was thrilled to know about the good news. But then, whose positive results did he actually read?
“With My Only U, we really want to give our audience here in the U.S. a breadth of very interesting themes and characters,” said Kerwin Du, ABS-CBN International’s category head for telecom, retail and theatricals. “Our goal is to continue providing them with quality entertainment and stories that really touch the hearts, whether it’s romance, comedy or drama.”
